Sightseeing Tour Aachen

navabi is an international team, so new employees move to Aachen from abroad. During a city tour we were able to translate Aachen into different languages: Aix-la-Chappelle (fr), Aken (dutch), Akwisgran (poln), Aquisgrán (sp.), Aquisgrana (it, port), Cáchy (Czech). So the name derives from Latin “Aquae or Aquis”, or more often Aquisgrani.

The Romans already knew it: hot springs flow in Aachen, here you can live well. And so Aachen can look back on 2000 years of history with many sights. The Romans settled here in Aachen because they appreciated the thermal springs that lie in the middle of today’s city centre.

The Katschhof, a secret hint among the sights of the city of Aachen and one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, also radiates this charm of the historical of the pulsating student city of Aachen in the midst of the present: on one side the cathedral, where the royal coronations of the Middle Ages took place, on the other the Gothic town hall, on the foundations of Charlemagne’s Palatinate. And all around, self-confident and worth seeing town houses of the last centuries add a very special stimulating flair to strolling in Aachen’s pedestrian zone.

Idske’s Internship Experience @ navabi

“I started at navabi as an intern in Human Resources while I was studying for my masters in Organisational Psychology. What I liked most about this internship was the immediate feeling of trust that everyone had in me, that I was asked for my opinion, everyone’s openness to my ideas, and that I was actually able to drive changes and to do things my own way. The team is international and diverse, and I have the pleasure to work with amazing, talented, and passionate people. I have already learned so much and will continue to do so as I could stay as a full-time employee after my internship was done!”

TEAM – Together Everyone Achieves More

End of trimester celebration!

To celebrate the end of the first trimester and everyone’s hard work, we organized a barbecue at the recreation area Walheim for everyone at navabi! We had a great afternoon and evening grilling, playing games, and relaxing! Here some pictures to get an impression of the celebration!

#teamnavabi at B2Run Aachen

On Thursday 26.04 a group of running-enthusiastic navabistas represented #teamnavabi at the B2Run in Aachen! There were more than 3.600 participants in total from around 250 companies. The 5.2 km route went through and around the CHIO-Reitstadion. Even though beforehand it looked like it was going to rain, we were able to finish the run with the sun in our faces and were rewarded with a well-deserved medal!!

Onboarding at navabi

navabi is growing and welcoming new employees! We would like to welcome them in our team and hope they have a great start at navabi!!

We try to make the onboarding process as smooth as possible. Not only by giving new employees a clear overview of what their first day, week, and month will look like, but also any other help that they might need for their move to Germany and Aachen and settling in.

Every new employee has dedicated buddies at navabi that provide introductions into our existing processes and structures, help to get to know and understand the navabi culture, support integration in the team, help them to succeed, and build their dream job.

Of course we make sure that the desk of every new employee is ready and represents a warm welcome!

navabi University Kick-Off!

navabi university is organized every other week to internalize learning and growth into the navabi DNA. The idea is that we take the knowledge we have, bundle it in key presentations, and share it with each other to facilitate learning and growth. This way, not only individuals gain knowledge, but also the organization as a whole. People from within navabi give universities, but we also try to have external speakers once every quarter.

“Power is gained by sharing knowledge, not hording it.”

Last week, Denise held a presentation on Team Jour Fixes and the Engagement Pulse, followed by a workshop where all navabistas were divided in groups to think about ways to improve employee engagement in specific areas.

International Women’s Day

Today, on the 8^th of March, all over the world we celebrate International Women’s Day! The celebration of this day dates back to 1910 and it commemorates women’s rights. Here at the office, all women are showered in roses on this beautiful day.

However, at navabi we of course always celebrate women. A big thank you to everyone for committing yourself to make women feel good happy every day!

Yoga @ navabi

Sport is an important part of navabi’s culture since 2014 with different offers like CrossFit, Pilates or football.

At the moment all navabistas can take part in the yoga course every Wednesday from 18:15 to 19:30. Yoga is for the mind and body because it helps to relax, relieve stress, strengthen muscles and relieve back problems. In the so-called “Play Hard Area” in the office there is enough space, so the employees don’t have to leave navabi and drive to a studio. Yoga can also be a short break at work.

The course starts with breathing exercises to get on and off. The following 45 minutes are a mix of familiar and new exercises, which are also helpful. Everyone is helped and attempts are made to solve individual problems. The participants can express their wishes, for example if they would like to do more demanding exercises or just relax. The last 15 minutes consist of stretching and feeling the whole body. Ultimately, it is important to lie completely relaxed and feel each part of the body separately.

After the course you have the possibility to ask questions, e. g. which exercise was for which part of the body. The whole course is accompanied by meditation music to make it as easy as possible to switch off after the working day.
