Our EHG IT Trainee Camp is where tech meets nature! 🧑💻🏕️ A few weeks ago, we invited eight of our trainees and students, along with four dedicated supervisors from our Infrastructure & Security department, to join our first-ever EHG IT Trainee Camp. Our mission? To blend the realms of technology and nature – the camp was all about hands-on experience and practical insights into our infrastructure and security landscape, as well as about fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills in a unique setting, namely the scenic Buchseehof campsite near our hometown of Bad Waldsee. After settling in and getting to know each other on the first day, our junior tech talents dove deep into IT topics on day two. Their challenges ranged from setting up a reception desk PC and guest Wi-Fi to managing a mailbox for the “glamperhub.cc” domain – including a simulated phishing attempt, of course. 😉 Because of the chilly weather, the participants decided to work inside. But the collaborative spirit kept everyone warm, as did the heating system, which contributed to the cozy start-up vibe. While the final day mainly focused on dismantling the camp, showcasing our Smart Connect solution was a great way to wrap up. Looking back, we’re super happy about the valuable feedback we received – and even more excited to refine the IT Trainee Camp and meet up with our aspiring colleagues again next year. So, a huge thank you to everyone who made this event a big success! #travel #camping #Vanlife #RVLife #Holidays #Vacation #IT #Technology #FutureTechLeaders #Teamwork

Have you ever been to Cuenca or Dublin? No? Then become a student at Dethleffs and travel to both cities without needing a vacation request! 🧳✨ At EHG, we strongly believe in the power of broadening horizons and collecting valuable experiences that extend beyond our office desks and production halls. That's why our Dethleffs brand is happy to support its students when they plan to live abroad for a few weeks during their dual study program. This year, dual students Jasmin, Roman, and Elena gladly embraced this unique opportunity: while Jasmin and Roman chose Cuenca, Spain, Elena traveled to Dublin, Ireland. Their adventures weren't just about exploring new places and cultures – they were about gaining fresh perspectives, improving their skill sets, and bringing back a wealth of knowledge that benefits them both in their daily work and personal lives. "The internship abroad was a really great experience for us, and we'd recommend it to anyone," Jasmin said. "Cuenca has a beautiful old town and is located right next to a river. The people there were very open and friendly. This allowed Roman and me to improve our Spanish skills and gain lots of new experiences. We worked from Monday to Friday and took language lessons in the evenings. On weekends, we visited different Spanish cities." For Elena, her adventure in Ireland was just as enjoyable: "I lived with a host family and waited tables in a café in the heart of Dublin. I was able to speak a lot of English, which was definitely the goal of the trip! I'm super grateful that I got the chance to develop my language and cultural skills and meet lots of new people. Since the people in Dublin are very cosmopolitan, you quickly feel integrated and get along well." We simply love hearing this kind of feedback – because we know that when our employees level up, so does our group. 😉 #Travel #Camping #RVLife #Vanlife #Holidays #Vacation #EmployeeGrowth #CompanyCulture #EmployerBranding #Benefits

Even after 20 adventure-packed years, our SUNLIGHT brand is definitely not made for standing still! 🚀⏩ With its independent positioning, high standards of innovation, progressive design, and strong digital focus, Sunlight GmbH has set itself apart on the motorhome market in the last two decades. "In 2004, we set out to develop a product for the entry-level segment. We believed that a high-quality portfolio could be built up that would also stand out in this segment," explains SUNLIGHT product manager Kathrin Straubinger. "We were a young, sporty and very ambitious team – and that's exactly what the vehicles represented. And they do to this day," adds Stephan Brutscher, managing director at SUNLIGHT. Likewise, his team of – as he calls it – “micro-entrepreneurs” is driven by their desire to create trend-setting motorhomes and one-off experiences to this day. This year, our brand from the Allgäu region is turning 20 – and has once again committed itself to the maxim of continuous development in 2024. So, for its anniversary year, SUNLIGHT has created a new credo that’s reflecting our colleagues’ drive to seek out and create new things perfectly: "Not Made for Standing Still” 💪 To us, there couldn’t be a more fitting claim for our most adventure-driven brand. So, happy birthday to you, SUNLIGHT! We’re really looking forward to seeing what your next leap forward will be. 🎂 #Travel #Camping #RVLife #Vanlife #Adventure #AdventureNow #Digitalization

Our own EHG Artificial Intelligence “ROLF” is now accessible to all employees – designed to give our colleagues full access to the power of AI with 100% data security. 🛡️🤖🚀   AI has become an integral part of office life worldwide, enhancing productivity and streamlining tasks across entire companies. However, a major challenge relates to the risk of sensitive information leaking into training data when using free versions of large language models.   To address this, we’re introducing "ROLF”, our secure AI model. "Tailored to the work demands of our colleagues, ROLF ensures the security of sensitive data while providing them with support, guidance and new ideas. Among other features, our teams can easily ask ROLF about EHG-specific information or simply exchange and discuss innovative ideas. That's just great!" explains Philip Eggert, Head of Digitalization Operations/HR, who initiated and supported the entire topic of AI and the introduction of ROLF together with his team at EHG.   Since this week, ROLF is accessible to all of our employees – whether they're working in an office or in production. ROLF is for everyone. And we are developing new ideas for efficient use in different areas every day. Stay tuned for the future of secure, innovative AI at EHG!    🗯️ How are you using AI models in your company?   #travel #camping #vacation #AI #KI #LLM #ArtificialIntelligence #NewWork

There are company events – and then there’s #LaikaFamily Day... 🤩🎉 1964 was the year Giovanbattista Moscardini founded a brand dedicated to creating motorhomes that were imbued with the Italian way of life: LAIKA CARAVANS SPA. Sixty years later, the success story of our Tuscany-based brand continues, driven by the Laika team’s spirit of innovation, openness, and ability to embrace the challenges and changes on every road as the Laika journey goes on. What’s most important to our Italian colleagues is living up to their family philosophy – valuing every individual employee and their contribution to the Laika story. For those who may think this sounds like mere corporate credo, we suggest watching the recap video of #LaikaFamilyDay, the big birthday party that Laika invited all employees to, to celebrate together at Laika headquarters in San Casciano. At EHG, we’re incredibly proud to call you part of our brand family. Because a Laika motorhome isn’t just any recreational vehicle. It’s a piece of Italy itself – an irresistible blend of beauty, culture, ingenuity, and craftsmanship. Here’s to the next sixty years! 🥂 Learn more about the history of Laika: https://lnkd.in/e4zSJg9c #travel #camping #employerbranding #anniversary #tuscany 

SUNLIGHT x AlpacaCamping: Say hello to legal wild camping near bike parks! 👋🍃🚐 No matter how tempting wild camping may be, spending the night in a motorhome by the roadside or out in pristine wilderness is strictly prohibited in most countries – including Germany. This is for good reason, as protecting nature and especially its sensitive wildlife is paramount. The good news for all those who still want to enjoy the feeling of legally camping surrounded by nature, and who also enjoy biking action: In collaboration with its new partner and legal wild camping specialist AlpacaCamping GmbH, our Sunlight GmbH brand has launched a brand-new campsite category on the Alpaca website: “Bikeparks nearby” – providing campers with special camping spots located close to popular bike parks. All in all, the concept offers the best of both worlds – camping in the wild countryside and the chance to go on a few bike-based adventures just a stone’s throw away. Great idea, great collaboration! Find out more about the bike park spots already available here (in German only): https://lnkd.in/eW3GKBAY
