Please check our Social Code before publishing on Social Media.
Please find some examples of topics you could post about here.
The reasons for using hashtags or not primarily depend on the specific social networks. For example, whenever you use Twitter and Instagram they can be used to explore content you are interested in - it’s a bit like running a search. Therefore by using hashtags in your posts you increase the chances of reaching people that are not your followers, yet.
On LinkedIn you should not use more than 3 hashtags on a single post. Facebook is screening the content of your post anyhow, so hashtags are not really necessary to be found. On Instagram it is common to use multiple hashtags.

Current Rating on Glassdoor (06/2020)
Continuous dialog with all of you is a core element of our feedback culture. Regular surveys such as OUR BASICS Live are an important part of this dialog. But you can also rate us as an employer on external review portals, the biggest of which is Glassdoor. These evaluations are 100% anonymous (as can be seen from the data protection regulations of the portals), but are visible to everyone.
For potential colleagues the reviews of Continental are a big help to find a proof if what we publish officially is lived on a daily basis, for HR they are a useful addition to our surveys and feedback from departments.
If you like to tell the world about your job and Continental as an employer by writing a review: Services like Glassdoor, kununu, fairygodboss or Indeed are popular places for candidates to check out potential employers.

You want to give back to the community you live or work in? Get involved as a Corporate volunteer! Whether you are going to refurbish the children’s playground nearby your office as a team building activity or whether you apply your professional skills, such as coding, to support a new app development of a local non-profit organization – the options are manifold and depend upon your local possibilities and, of course, your personal interests.
Looking for a certain target group or topic to support in order to make a sustainable impact and to make Continental a better “corporate citizen”? Some countries already have local regulations regarding corporate volunteering during working hours while others work on a case-by-case decision basis. Consult your local HR representative for more information in this regard.
For more information and support, feel free to contact the respective responsible person for your business area or region regarding sustainability, CSR, HR or social responsibility.
We look forward to seeing you there!
