4.5 Employees
In the 2004/2005 financial year, there were an average of around 132 full-time employees (including the Management Board and managements of the operating companies) in the SinnerSchrader Group. The overall employee capacity had thus reduced once again in comparison to the previous year by around 7 full-time employees, largely due to the full effect of the personnel measures implemented in the second quarter of the 2003/2004 financial year.
The average number of productive employees at around 107 full-time employees in 2004/2005 was relatively constant in comparison to around 108 full-time employees in 2003/2004. The number of non-productive employees in terms of a direct contribution to revenue fell from a good 31 full-time employees in the previous year to 25 full-time employees in 2004/2005. The difference in the development is associated with the fact that there had been selective hiring in the productive sector during the year of the report following the growth in business, whereas the cutting of dedicated sales jobs continued in the sales sector and any gaps in the administrative sector were initially filled with temporary staff. Moreover, in the 2004/2005 financial year, three trainees who were not included among the productive employees successfully completed their training in the operative segments. SinnerSchrader was able to offer one of these former trainees an employment contract in a productive function.
Of the 132 full-time employees, around 58 full-time employees worked in the Interactive Software segment, 42 in the Interactive Marketing segment, 14 in Interactive Services and 18 in the managing holding company.
At the end of the financial year on 31 August 2005, SinnerSchrader’s staff was made up of a total of 130 full-time and part-time employees (including the Management Board and the managements of the individual Group companies). This number includes 55 employees in the Interactive Software segment, 42 in the Interactive Marketing segment, 14 in Interactive Services and 19 in the managing holding company. On 31 August 2004 the Group had had 145 employees.
