All figures on employees joining leaving the company calculated according to HGB: Headcount excluding trainees, members of executive bodies, other employees, external staff, temporary staff, working students, marginal employees, interns and school students. Differentiation by age group and female employees newly introduced for 2020. The figures can therefore not be compared with the 2019 and 2018 figures. For Austria and Sweden, there are currently no statistics on differentiation by age group.

2)

Employees leaving the company include voluntary resignations, dismissals, retirement and deaths, but exclude traineeships that have come to an end and integration process-related dismissals.

3)

Employees leaving the company/headcount (adjusted to reflect integration process-related dismissals) as of Dec. 31, 2020 x 100%. Based on EPRA definition (employees leaving the company in the period/headcount at end of period). The following employee groups are also deducted from the headcount according to HGB (headcount excluding trainees, members of executive bodies, other employees, external staff, temporary staff, working students, marginal employees, interns and school students).
