1 Welcome to Hellmann

Welcome to the Hellmann F.A.M.I.L.Y.! As a company, we have always taken great pride in striving to create a work environment in which respect, trust and sincere partnership are all part of daily life.

It is our belief that determined and talented in-dividuals like yourself are the cornerstone on which our future success will be built. To this end, we are committed to working hard to give you the support you need to achieve your personal and professional goals.

Thanks to the determination of our team, we have steadily built our business into one of the world’s leading Logistics Service Providers. In sustaining this success, we want everyone who joins our global team to understand the dynamics by which we operate.

But first, a little bit of history…

Our story began in Osnabrück, Germany, in 1871 when our great grandfather, Carl Heinrich Hellmann, established the company that still bears his name. Carl started his business by delivering parcels via a humble horse-drawn cart. As Carl’s great, great grandchildren, we continue to oversee what has become a truly integrated Logistics Solutions Provider. From day one, Hellmann recognized that people were its greatest asset. While running

a “family“ business on a worldwide basis has its challenges, the many rewards we reap make it all worthwhile. As a People First organization for more than four generations, we encourage tolerance and acceptance of every individual and his or her ideas. It is a philosophy that has now sustained us for over 140 years. In joining a worldwide team of more than 10,000 people, your commitment is vital in keeping us true to our origins.

Please take a few moments to study this handbook thoroughly as it contains key information you need to know about us – Hellmann. The following pages will also help familiarize you with our corporate culture. We hope you find this handbook to be a valuable resource in understanding our organization.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your supervisor or manager for clarification.

In your local countries, you will also receive a country Employee Handbook. This Global Employee Handbook is meant to complement your local employee handbook which takes priority in addressing your HR needs.

We wish you much success as part of the Hellmann team.

5 Our way to communicate

Communication, whether written or verbal, is how brands are brought to life. In acting as our brand representative, please do all you can to project a positive image of who we are and what we stand for at all times. In today’s business environment we communicate mainly through e-mail, telephone and presentations. We make a conscious effort to maintain a standard way of communicating which reflects our corporate identity throughout the world. The following guidelines not only apply to how we communicate amongst ourselves but also how we communicate with our customers, suppliers and business partners.

Global Hellmann Employee Handbook

08 09

5.1 Communicating through e-mail

E-mail is the most used communication tool in today‘s world. Although often perceived as an informal way of communication, the impact e-mail has on our brand can be considerable. Therefore we ask that you adhere to the following guidelines on how to use e-mails.

Handling incoming e-mails• Access your e-mails at least once everyday• Delete non-essential e-mails once you read them• Your inbox should not be used to store messages you wish to keep; move e-mail messages into appropriate folders

What does your Inbox look like? It is only a question of discipline!

Responding promptly• Respond to all e-mails within 24-48 hours• If you are unable to provide an immediate answer, advise your contacts you will get back to them him or her with detailed information as quickly soon as possible. This will save your contacts from having to make pointless duplicate requests.

Are you getting reminders on a regular basis?

Subject line• Make sure your title subject is impactful so that it can be easily seen in a full inbox

• Use relevant KEY words in the subject line to simplify your recipients’ life

Never send an E-mail without a subject!

Content• Write e-mails as if you were speaking face-to-face with the recipient• Be short and to the point when expressing figures, data and facts• Write short and easy to read sentences• Use bullet points (but do not abuse them!)• Read and re-read your e-mail to be sure that your message is clear.• Do a “spell check“. Spelling errors give a bad impression• Address all points or questions when responding to someone’s message• Do not overuse capital letters – they should be used to emphasize a word or phrase. When used excessively they become the equivalent to SHOUTING• Consider language barriers as well as cultural and business conventions when responding to colleagues, customers or suppliers overseas

Always apply the “KISS” principle (Keep It Short and Simple!) to all your e-mail communications.

Distribution• Only send messages to those who need to see them• Keep your list of cc: addressees short. Only copy colleagues who need to be updated and or informed about the issue• Keep in mind that anyone can print your e-mail or forward it to anyone

Attachments• Be courteous: if you must send a large file or set of files, first send the recipient an e-mail telling them what you will be sending and why• Avoid unnecessarily large file sizes. If you need to send photos, please resize them• Be sure to have our company’s anti-virus software installed on your computer to scan all of your outgoing and incoming messages for viruses• Never open an attachment unless you know what it is and you are expecting it

Replying to an e-mail• When answering e-mails, do not include the recipient’s original e-mail unless absolutely necessary• Remove all the attachments in the original e-mail that have not been modified when replying to messages• Use the “Reply to All” function selectively – please respond only to the parties who really need to read your reply

Things to Think About• Is e-mail the right way to communicate your message? e-mail is no substitute for personal contact! Often a personal discussion or a phone call is the fastest way to clarify an issue• Would it be inappropriate if the wrong person received it?• Is the E-mail going to the right people?• Remember, it’s not what you say it’s how you say it!• Is it necessary for you to print this e-mail?

5.2 Communicating by Telephone

The telephone is the second most important medium customers use to get in contact with us. It is a unique chance to be different from our competitors and make the call a memorable experience. This might be is a good opportunity to connect with our customers. First time callers can become repeat customers.

Greeting callers• Answer the phone with a friendly and professional voice • Speak clearly with a warm welcoming tone• State both the company’s name, your first and last name and let the caller know who they are speaking with. For example, “Good morning, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. John Smith speaking, how may I help you?”. Your greeting could be the caller’s first impression of Hellmann.

Can the caller hear your smile?

Messages• Write down the caller’s name, company, phone number, time of call, and reason for calling• Make it easy for your colleagues to return calls upon their return

• At Hellmann, we make it a point to return phone calls promptly – there are no excuses, we do not leave calls unanswered.

Did you inform your colleagues you were going to be out of the office?

Transferring telephone calls• When you answer a call intended for someone else, be sure to obtain the caller’s first and last name, company name and the reason for his or her call• Share these details with your colleague before transferring the call• If the person being called is not available, take a message and inform the caller your colleague will get back to them as soon as possible• Make a difference: ask the caller if you can be of any assistance in the meantime• The phone should NEVER ring more than 3 times. You never know how important the call might be!

Before transferring the caller to someone else’s extension, did you make sure that the person is in and able to help? Nothing is more frustrating than being transferred over and over again and telling the same story to a multitude of people before finding the right one!

Global Hellmann Employee Handbook

12 13

Howcallers should feel when they call us• Always show concern. Never tell the caller “I don’t know“ or “I can’t help you.” The best response to a problem is a genuine “Let me see what I can do or who can help you.“• Always show empathy• LISTEN: talk less and focus your attention on the caller. Concentrate on what the other person is saying. People not only want to be helped, they also want to know that you care! Show that you care by using phrases like: “How can I help you?“ “What can I do for you?“ “I‘ll make sure this message/ information gets to the right person“ “I’m sure we can sort this out” “I’m sorry that you have a problem”• Use active phrases like: “I’ll take care of it.”, “I’m going to…” and “I will…”• Be proactive and offer solutions. Show your flexibility by offering alternatives.• Never leave callers waiting for too long. Deliver on what you promise.

Did the caller feel the Hellmann difference?

Handling difficult telephone calls• Always empathize with the caller• Acknowledge the problem, accept responsibility and apologize• Even if callers are in a hurry, interrupt you or get rude, stay calm and friendly.

Did you find a way to calm down the caller by empathizing with the caller and offering a solution?

Before you hang up• Close each call with a summary of the actions you and the caller have agreed to take.• End calls by thanking for calling and establish if there is any other way you can be of assistance.

Is the caller happy with what was decided?

5.3 Giving a Presentation

Presentations are an essential part of our business communication. Whenever you are asked to give a presentation you are representing our company. The following guidelines are meant to help you prepare and deliver professional presentations.

5.3.1 Preparing your presentation

Great presentations require preparation. Know your audience well before presenting and customize the topic and goal to meet their needs and expectations. Only use the template and information provided on the Brand Navigator for all your customer presentations. Ask yourself the following:– What is the purpose of the presentation?– Who will be attending?– What does the audience already know about the subject?– What is the audience‘s attitude towards my topic (e.g. hostile, friendly)?

Using PowerPointPrevent “Death by PowerPoint” with the following tips:• Ensure layout continuity from slide to slide – easier for the audience to follow• Headings, subheadings, and logos should show up in the same spot on each slide• Fonts, font size, and color scheme should be consistent on each slide• Do not use all CAPITAL LETTERS as they are hard to read. Only use for emphasis• Font size should be 28 – no smaller. Remember, your slides must be legible, even from the back of the room

• Illustrations: use with caution. They can distract instead of communicate. They should relate to the message and help to make a point• Limit animation. It can be irritating. Be consistent and have all text and pictures appear on the screen the same way each time• Limit each slide to one idea• Avoid paragraphs or long blocks of text• Limit the number of bullet points to six per slide or four if there is a large title, logo, picture, etc…• Keep each bullet point to one line, two at the most

5.3.2 Structuring your presentation

• Make sure the people in the audience are comfortable (temperature, seating).• First begin by thanking your audience for being there - acknowledge them for taking the time (we are all busy!)• Continue with an icebreaker such as a story, interesting statement or fact, joke, quotation, or an activity to get the group warmed up.• State your objective – the purpose or goal of the presentation.• The body of your presentation should be well structured and divided up logically.• In closing, summarize your content, offer time for questions and thank the participants for attending.

5.3.3 Presenting

Your body languageYour body language speaks volumes. Your posture, eye movement and breathing all give information about your state of mind. Some researchers put the level of nonverbal communication as high as 80 percent. Here are some practical guidelines:

Make regular eye contact to signal interest in others and increase your credibility.

Adjust your facial expressions to the content of your presentation, e.g. smile to transmit friendliness, and warmth. Be serious to underline serious messages.

Use gestures to capture attention and show passion. If you fail to gesture while speaking, you may be perceived as boring and distant.

Pay attention to your posture, e.g. hold a pen or a marker to avoid putting your hands in your pockets.

Move around freely during the presentation but not to the point where it distracts your audience.

Your tone of voice and languageYour voice is the most valuable tool you have when presenting. It’s not always what you say but HOW you say it!

Use the power of the pause to draw attention to important information.

Talk as long as you need but be as concise as you can – be specific in your statements.

Speak clearly and loudly enough for all to hear.

Do not speak in a monotone voice and use inflection to emphasize your main points.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s:• Be yourself – be genuine and confident• Convince people with your enthusiasm• Make sure to be dynamic and engaging• Listen actively and intently to comments and opinions to make the audience feel valued, to gain information, and to determine how they feel• Vary your techniques (lecture, discussion, debate, films, slides, reading, etc.) and use different support materials (PowerPoint, flipchart, white board...)• Respect your time allocation – it shows consideration for your audience who might have other engagements

Don’ts:• Handouts: Do not read them to the audience.• Do not turn your back to the audience unless absolutely necessary (e.g. writing on a flip chart)• Flip charts: Do not overcrowd your page. Use bright, bold colors, and drawings with your text

Be Responsible:You are responsible for your words and actions. Exercise good judgment and common sense. We trust you will be mindful of confidential company information.

Be Yourself:Be genuine. Seek to be transparent. Speak on your own behalf – write in the first person. Say who you are and who you work for- -if you write anything related to your work at Hellmann, keep to your area of expertise.

Be respectful: Avoid engaging in defamatory, offensive or harassing content. Remember, Hellmann is a global organization with diverse set of customs, values and points of views. Be diligent and comply with copyright information - including image rights. Give credit where credit is due.

As Hellmann employees, and thus representatives of our brand, we encourage you to promote the Hellmann name under positive light. We recognize that social media has the potential to build more meaningful relationships with customers, communities and other relevant stakeholders.

Employees shall not engage in activities that endorse in any way one or all of these actions.
