Ever since Probi was founded in 1991, the organisation has been characterised by small-scale entrepreneurship. High-quality research and development have been Probi’s signature from the start and most employees work with R&D. These people are experienced researchers with a diversity of scientific backgrounds such as microbiology, immunology, chemistry and nutrition. Probi’s growth strategy includes increasing the company’s markets and customer partnerships. As a result, the marketing and sales department has been strengthened in recent years by recruiting employees with extensive international experience.

Competency development

Together with a large number of other companies, Probi has been participating in a competency development project led by Adeptus for several years. The participating companies contribute their expertise and time and employees can take part as either adepts or mentors. The adepts are matched with a selected mentor who has a similar education and background and can share the experience he or she has gained from a long professional career. The adept and mentor exchange best practices on a regular basis until the programme concludes after one and a half years.

Probi’s personnel policy

Probi endeavours to provide a dynamic environment for its employees, where individuals can assume a large degree of responsibility and are offered substantial development opportunities. Working with products – as Probi does – that improve people’s health and well-being is both responsible and stimulating. Probi’s business is based on four fundamental values that, in combination, provide a platform for the company and its development:

• Knowledge and expertise
  With their knowledge and expertise, Probi employees engage customers, partners and consumers.
• Dedication
  Working with research and products that impact health entails a great deal of responsibility and above-average dedication.
• Credibility
  Being credible at all levels is fundamental to Probi being the natural choice for customers, partners, consumers and employees.
• Curiosity
  Probi is always willing to try new approaches in research, product development and in the market.
