The employee magazines

BSH publishes various employee magazines to encourage identification with BSH as a company and to promote exchanges between the departments and sites. One medium used for internal communication is the international employee magazine inform, which is issued for all employees at the BSH sites. In addition, various local and international staff media are published throughout BSH, providing employees with local news from their respective subsidiary or site in their local language.
