People and Culture

Without the dedication and ingenuity of SIMBA team members, none of our company’s landmark achievements would be possible. More than 300 employees across the China form the SIMBA team.
We work consistently to ensure that our success and growth continue by providing holistic support to our employees. This ranges from value-based practices to health and safety management, as well as an ongoing focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
People and Culture

A Value-Driven Culture

SIMBA is made up of sharp, positive and creative minds. Innovation is our engine, and a passion for shower seal strip manufacturing unites us. We want to shape the future and lead the world into responsible manufacturing, so we strive to find the best solutions for our customers every day.
Years ago, we realized that to create and maintain a collaborative, innovative environment, we needed principles to guide us. This led to the core SIMBA values: togetherness, responsibility, fairness and excellence.
These tenets of our corporate philosophy drive us not only to focus on supporting one another in any way we can, but also inform our approach to customer relationships.
Togetherness

Togetherness

Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I will remember. Make me part of it, and I will understand.

Responsibility

A little knowledge in action is worth so much more than a lot of knowledge which remains passive.

Fairness

Treat me like you would like to be treated by others.

A Culture of Belonging

At SIMBA we extend the boundaries of manufacturing ingenuity to ensure that future production is less harmful to our planet. We cannot achieve this without breaking boundaries. Diversity is a fact of our world and we are convinced of its power to bring progress and positive change. Inclusivity and equity, however, are choices, and at SIMBA, we commit to them every day. We believe in creating a work environment that is built on empathy, respect, and fairness where every individual is seen, listened to, and empowered to bring in their whole self.
It’s well-established that a diverse workforce fosters innovation, boosts engagement, and reduces unconscious biases. That’s why SIMBA has concrete DEI goals in the short and long term. We want to focus on having more women and other underrepresented groups in STEM positions and in leadership roles.
The SIMBA philosophy about DEI is that we’re ALL IN. 
Ultimately, we aim to create an environment in which all workers — no matter their gender, sexual identity, ethnicity, religion, worldview, disabilities, age or any other identifying factor — can be seen, heard, and involved. Every SIMBA team member is expected to help us move toward this goal by exemplifying this culture of belonging on a daily basis.

Our DEI approach Living Our Values

Much like the four core corporate values that anchor SIMBA in all matters, we center our approach to DEI around four pillar principles:

1.Inclusive Leadership: Executive-level commitment to building a diverse and equitable workforce helps build trust in these efforts. (Women already constitute 50% of the SIMBA Core Leadership Team.)

2.People Experience: Developing insight regarding employee experiences through data collection helps sustain a positive, productive workforce and create more inclusive processes.

3.Awareness and Communication: Internal communication and public promotion of the SIMBA commitment to DEI benefits employees and strengthens our reputation.

4.Community and Networking: SIMBA is part of multiple networks that unite companies with demonstrable and ongoing DEI efforts, including Employers 4 Equality. We’re also a signatory to the Charta der Vielfalt (Diversity Charter).

SIMBA WELL-BEING

Maintaining Employee Well-being

Well-being is a multifaceted concept, and that’s exactly how SIMBA tackles it. From a health perspective, we use our seven-phase approach to encourage employee health: movement, nutrition, relaxation, ergonomics, health support, health-oriented leadership and resilience.
Elements that prop up this approach include fitness and sports activities, nutritional advice and other health courses, ergonomically designed workplaces, on-site company doctors and our Emergency Assistance Program, among others.
Our health and wellness resources also address periods when workers need time outside the walls of our workplaces. Whether that’s for a day or two or several (or longer), health holidays and paid leave are readily available. Also, we approach parental leave in a way that ensures flexibility and support for all expecting and new parents. (The positive results of this approach are clear: We had a 97% retention rate among the 34 employees who took parental leave in 2022.)
Regarding benefits, we make no distinction at SIMBA between full-time employees, temporary workers and working students. They are available to all.

Safe Working Environments

Occupational health and safety is a must in shower door parts industry. To protect our SIMBA family, employees receive comprehensive operational instructions upon their registration regarding all tasks relevant to their job responsibilities. General and specialized safety briefings are also available through a learning management system.
Additional safety courses are regularly available to any employees interested in taking them. Some are hands-on, while others are online-only (or a combination of the two).
To ensure compliance with government regulations, industry guidelines and internal SIMBA procedures, managers in relevant departments are required to conduct a variety of risk assessments on a regular basis. Our dedicated Occupational Safety and Health team verifies the results of these assessments and also investigates any accidents that occur.
