Good communication between employees is key to progress
Iztok is aware that clear communication and respect are key to a team’s success. Even as a young entrepreneur, he knew how to organize tasks and encourage employees to feel responsible for their work. “Persistence and passion for work, determination to see things through and fairness to
yourself and the employees are the fundamentals that allow you to build a successful company,” says Iztok. He strongly believes that employees should be trusted and have freedom in their work and thinking, as this is the only way good ideas can be born.
Everybody in the company works as a team. “Work, family, respect, passion, honesty and curiosity are values we live with at home and in the company,” says Petra. “We like order and stability, which is why we have clearly defined processes, vision and strategy.”
Clear strategy and the chance to develop products that will mark the future of e-mobility and robotics bring young talent to the company. “We have several Masters and Doctors of Science and engineers among our employees. I am very proud to have such excellent teams in all areas, from production to development and the lab,” says Iztok.
Even though he is still interested in development, he is also open to ideas of the younger generations. “Years of work and experience on one hand and on the other the naïveté and enthusiasm of the young, their different view of the world. This is what leads to an excellent product.”
And what does the Podkrižnik family plan for their future? “Our goals are further development, production of innovative products with high added value, ensuring long-term stability of business, and remaining a socially responsible company,” summarizes the founder.
