Trust culture and part-time men
Dade Design AG (Switzerland) and Dade Design GmbH (Austria) are still owned by the founders. We grow organically from our own strength, pay fair wages well above the collective labor agreement and live a #trust culture. dade design stands for real and honest handwork – as a stark contrast to today’s “Ikea age” where everything is mass-produced, standardized and computer-automated, and transported halfway around the world. We feed families, buy locally and produce CO2 neutral.
ZEBRA Company
We are a black and white company – meaning profit oriented and socially and eco-socially committed. The company Patagonia (sporting goods) is our role model.
Appreciation, joy and trust characterize our cooperation. We work according to the principle; Everyone sees everything (in the company) and all employees have flexible working time models (part-time). Startups refer to this form of work as holocracy. Many of our strong men in the plant are also part-time men, whereby we employ an equal number of women as men despite the hard and dusty work in the concrete plant.
