Our culture

The People Behind the Sound

At Sennheiser, we are a team, a crew, a family. Our corporate culture is what sets us apart. We are the people behind the sound. As a team and a family-owned business, we are driven by innovation and our passion for exceptional audio experiences. We are international by conviction and understand that each of us shares responsibility for our success.

Growing Together

Investing in our strengths means, above all, investing in our people. Around 2,200 employees worldwide work every day to create unique sound experiences for our customers across the globe. That’s why we foster a work environment where everyone can express their unique talents. For us, leadership means providing direction and a framework in which everyone can grow and develop. We are committed to promoting a diverse, inclusive, and safe workplace for all our employees.

Strength Through Diversity

The future of the audio world is vibrant. Music has always been inclusive, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds. It’s impossible to imagine music – or Sennheiser – without diversity. We are international by conviction. Our customers in the music industry, broadcasting, television, and education represent diversity and a wide range of perspectives like few others – and with our products, we give them a voice. At Sennheiser, we firmly believe that only through diversity, openness, and tolerance can we achieve lasting success.

80 Years of Experience

As a family-owned company with 80 years of history, we know that everything we offer our customers is built on the experience, knowledge, culture, and passion of our employees.

Throughout the years, we have continuously pushed boundaries and still hold a clear vision: to shape the future of the audio world and create unforgettable sound moments. This vision is now shared by a team of people from over 50 countries.

From the very beginning – since the company was founded in a farmhouse near Hanover – our corporate culture has played a vital role. That’s why we not only developed our cultural principles together, but also live them every day – all around the world.

Our Culture Principles

Everything begins and ends with our customers.

In every decision and at every stage, they are at the heart of our decision making. We care for our customers and strive to understand their present and future needs: We delight them by meeting and exceeding their expectations.

Attitude is our most important asset.

At Sennheiser, who you are is just as important as what you know. Attitude and mindset count for more than even the most shining credentials, and they must be in sync with the culture that drives us. It's why we hire people who believe in our culture, respect diversity, and work collaboratively.

We take risks and learn from both our successes and failures.

We focus on solutions and quickly overcome obstacles. We challenge conventions and have the courage to take risks – with a fresh and forward-thinking attitude to create winning ideas. We celebrate our successes but also honestly acknowledge when we fall short.

We are all owners of our success.

We believe in constant improvement and personal growth: We advance Sennheiser with passion, courage and responsibility. We are empowered to make decisions at the organization's lowest possible level. We can agree to disagree, but once decisions are made we positively commit to the agreed course of action.

We foster an inclusive environment of trust, openness and collaboration.

We treat everybody in an honest, fair and friendly way and recognize that our success depends on the expertise we share. This is why we aim to listen first, seeking to understand others before being understood. We are supportive, we give and learn from constructive feedback, and build on each other’s diverse opinions, backgrounds and expertise.

We perform to our full potential based on our common goals.

We look beyond hierarchy to fully appreciate outstanding talent and achievement wherever it blooms. We expect everyone to give their very best every day. As teams and as individuals, we set ourselves ambitious goals–with a commitment to develop the skills that we need to succeed.

In leadership roles, we are determined, empathetic, and committed to fostering and exemplifying our culture.

Sennheiser leaders strive to exemplify the qualities that we also expect from others: responsibility, openness, and decision making. This applies to all leadership roles – from corporate to temporary project management. We integrate these principles into our daily work to achieve team success.
