Here are some thoughts from Esther on what it means to be part of LANXESS:


On the LANXESS experience:

It has been a great pleasure working at LANXESS. LANXESS is like a young sapling which is growing into a giant tree. It has a deeply rooted culture which has made it what it is today.

The employees work harmoniously to achieve the company goals. We are also flexible and adaptable to changes and have learnt how to cope with challenging situations. Our management has steered the company to the right direction.
My experience at LANXESS has taught me to stay focused despite interruptions. Here, I have learnt how to be committed to my job as well as family.


On balancing work-life:

I first set priorities on the important things to be done and hence avoid working late and on holidays.  Maintaining my personal health and wellness is also important for which exercise is a must. I love to read philosophical books which help me learn good philosophies and relax my mind. I spend time with my kids, speak to them, go out for shopping, movies, etc.
