KLEO

Kompetenz/Competence: We strive to act with the highest level of competence in all areas of our organization, which is why we rely very heavily on the different competencies of our employees. This is the only way we can guarantee the highest quality in the entire process of exam creation and implementation.

Loyalität/Loyalty: This value stands for the trust, commitment and strong cohesion within our organization. Loyalty also manifests itself in an open and supportive working environment. The employees of the ÖSD work together as a team, support each other and share their knowledge and experience. This leads to an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect.

Eigenverantwortung/Personal responsibility: Work should generally be fun and fulfilling, everyone should feel comfortable at ÖSD, find their place and be able to experience themselves as a valuable part of the big whole.

Fulfillment in the workplace and a positive working atmosphere largely depends on the extent to which you are willing to take responsibility yourself, instead of just relying on others or blaming others – colleagues, superiors, customers – for your own misfortune or failures at work. As the old saying goes: "Everyone is the architect of his or her own fortune!"

Self-reliant action has a lot to do with personal maturity, attitude, self-reflection, self-confidence and self-assessment and also includes the conscious, voluntarily and independently chosen, active dedication and commitment to our organization, our goals and mission.

Offenheit/Openness: Openness is a cornerstone of the corporate culture at the Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD) and aims above all at openness to new things.
