Your colleagues have got your back. If you have any questions about your work, just ask them. If you’re a good listener you will find out a lot about thyssenkrupp. And you can top that up by reading, for example our employee magazine or check out our intranet.
Find your own place on the team and start making contacts. Try to remember your colleagues’ names and use them.

Remember: The sooner you ask, the sooner you’ll know!
