4.53 Years of Service: Why Employees Stay Longer at Landgut Stober Than Elsewhere - Employee retention with heart, humor, and attitude - the estate's recipe for success.
In the hotel industry, high turnover is almost a law of nature. But Landgut Stober proves the opposite: Employees stay here for an average of 4.53 years. Behind this lies a special culture - characterized by family friendliness, diversity, and a shared profit distribution.

A striking figure
While the average length of service across all industries in Germany is around 11 years, the situation in the hotel industry is quite different: Many leave after just a few years. This makes the figure from Landgut Stober all the more remarkable: employees stay for an average of 4.53 years.
For an industry struggling with turnover, this is an exceptionally high figure - and visible proof that the estate has created a working environment where people want to stay.

Family-friendliness at its core
The Getto/Stober managing couple have seven children together - and know how important it is to balance family and career. This experience shapes the corporate culture:
Daycare costs covered and special consideration when planning vacations. Fewer weekend shifts for parents with children. Maternity leave and individual solutions for single parents or employees with caregiving responsibilities.
Schedules are developed by the team - not by default. This creates solutions that truly make work and private life compatible.

Diversity as a Strength
Since 2015, the Stober Estate has pursued its own concept for the integration of refugees - the first company in Brandenburg to do so. Today, people from 22 nations, representing all lifestyles, religions, and identities, work here. Diversity is not a cliché, but a part of everyday life.
Solidarity-based and community-oriented profit distribution
As a company with a community-based balance sheet, the estate pursues a unique profit distribution model:
- 20% goes to donations for social and humanitarian projects.
- 40% is reinvested in the company.
- 20% goes to employees - e.g. B. through better social benefits or voluntary retirement plans.
- 10% is used to repay loans.
- Only 10% remains for the owners.
This creates a model that distributes economic success fairly and allows employees to participate directly.

More than a workplace
Landgut Stober is a place where values are tangible:
Business closure between Christmas and New Year gives everyone a shared break.
Topics are discussed openly in weekly meetings.
Everyone can decide for themselves how much they want to work.
The average length of service of 4.53 years is therefore no coincidence - but the result of a culture that puts people first.
A career with meaning, diversity, and prospects: Become part of the team at Landgut Stober.
