4.6 Employees
The average number of people employed in the 2005/2006 financial year, standardised to a full-time basis, was 129 (including the Management Board and managements of the operating companies, apprentices and trainees) and was therefore approximately 3 full-time employees or 2.2 % below the capacity of the previous year, in spite of business growth.
Thanks to the diametrically opposed development of revenue and employee capacity, which necessitated the increased use of freelancers, SinnerSchrader managed to make its cost basis more flexible. The revenue per full-time employee rose by 13 % from € 109,000 to € 123,000.
The decrease in capacity took place only in the Interactive Software segment, where the average number of full-time employees fell from 58 to 53. The external services rate was lowest in this segment in previous years. By contrast, the Interactive Marketing segment slightly expanded its capacity by two full-time employees in the 2005/2006 financial year, while the average number of employees in the Interactive Services segment and the managing holding company remained the same at 14 and 18 full-time employees respectively.
Employee structure as of 31.08.2006
As of 31 August 2006, SinnerSchrader had 143 full- and part-time employees (including the Management Board, the managements of the operating companies, apprentices and trainees). Standardised to a full-time basis, this corresponds to around 136 employees. The year-end figures show that SinnerSchrader started to expand its capacity again with the continued growth of business at the end of the reporting year.
