What a Quarter We Had! These are the Highlights of our Social Events 🤗    🏃♀️Stairs for a Cause:   We kicked off the quarter with a charity stairs run up the MDR tower to support DKMS Deutschland, an organization that fights blood cancer. Our team ran an impressive 5,000 stairs, and our company donated 1,000 € to this noble cause. To all the runners and our generous company for their commitment – you have our heartfelt thanks. #couldnotbeanyprouder 🎲20th Game Night Bash:   Game nights are a fantastic way to socialize and boost team spirit, but it takes someone special to take the initiative, come up with ideas and simply organize a date.   That's where Tamara comes in - her motivating commitment and inexhaustible creativity for puzzle fun make these nights unforgettable. Our regular game night has become a beloved tradition, thanks to cool game ideas from colleagues like Sebastian, Georgy, Lisa, and others.    ⚽ 🍒 BBQ & Soccer:   We wrapped up the quarter with a fantastic BBQ and European Championship viewing party. Although we had the perfect excuse to come together every evening during the championship season because of our colleagues from all over the world, none of us are really that interested in football. Nevertheless, we gathered for the Germany game and, turns out – it was a lot of fun. The BBQ was delicious, and the view and company made this evening even more special.    📣 These are just a few of the events from the past quarter. There was so much more joy and excitement than we can squeeze into one post. We're grateful to work with such amazing people and can't wait for more social events in the next quarter and beyond. 🎉 🌞 🌈 #optimates #weenablechange #socialrecap #teamspirit #em #gamenight

Sustainable HR is a topic that's very close to our hearts here at Optimax Energy. 💙 From implementing sustainable HR practices and fostering self-determination & cultural fit, to exploring how personal and company WHYs align, these are the subjects we live and breathe every day. We really enjoyed sharing our insights during the "(Sustainable) Human Resource Management and Organization" lecture from Lehrstuhl für Personalwirtschaft & Business Governance at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. We always love engaging in discussions about these crucial topics and sparking new ideas together. 💡🌱 #Sustainability #HR #CulturalFit #WeEnableChance #OneStepAheadOfTheMarket

🤠✨Just back from this year's BMPK - SERVIEW Summit where our CEO, René Baumann, and Project Manager, Yuliia Skofenko, embraced the Wild Wild West theme in style! Our team stepped out of our trading bubble to dive deep into ITSM, Project Management, and Agile. This was our first time at the conference, and we gained valuable insights into effective goal-setting frameworks for teams (#OKR), the use of AI across different departments, and agile transformation strategies. The 🍒 cherry on top? A 7km charity run for the Peter Maffay Foundation. It was as exhausting as it was exhilarating - a fantastic way to contribute to a worthy cause while bonding with new faces. 🌵🏃♂️🏃♀️Looking forward to more learning, connecting, and 😋 running next year! A big thank you to everyone who organized and participated in this event. #BMPKKongress #ITSM #OptimaxEnergy #Networking #ContinuousLearning #WeEnableChange #OneStepAheadOfTheMarket #YeeHaw

Shaping the future means investing in the talent of tomorrow. At Optimax Energy, we are not only convinced of this, we are also committed to supporting the ambitions of the generations to come! 💪 We are proud to actively support up-and-coming STEM talents. Every fortnight, we welcome the Leipzig School Society for Mathematics to our premises to support young mathematical talent. We are also proud sponsors and hosts of the Náboj international Maths competition in Leipzig. After the competition, we offer workshops where participants can deepen their mathematical knowledge and gain practical experience. This year, we also took part in the national Girls'Day - Mädchen-Zukunftstag for the first time to familiarise girls with the wide range of opportunities in STEM professions. 👩💻 Two talented participants had the chance to realize their own project with Python under the guidance of our dedicated employees Sebastian Bresch and Florian Speer. This initiative is very close to our hearts in order to make STEM fields more attractive and inclusive. In April we also had our intern Luise in the analysis department. We aspire to enable interns to experience a real working day in a professionally supervised environment. They are allowed to realize their first projects, receive comprehensive support from our team (#thankssebastian) and gain valuable practical experience that is crucial for their professional development. Our commitment to supporting young talent reflects our vision: to create an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to develop their ideas freely in order to create an innovative future for the energy industry. 🌱 #OptimaxeEnergy #STEM #YoungTalent #Innovative #EnergyIndustry #GirlsDay2024 #WeEnableChange

Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to step out! Who says the office is the best place to learn? 😎 🚗 Last Friday, our analysis department packed up their laptops (and snacks) to spend a day in our Taucha workshop space, diving deep into mutual learning. The agenda was packed with meaty topics: 💻 revising coding standards, exploring new tech stack opportunities, discussing statistical methods, and analyzing fresh market data - all away from the usual office setting. 🌈 This little getaway not only brought a breath of fresh air but also showed that a change of scenery can work wonders. Through free and open exchange, we didn't just come up with new ideas but also strengthened our team bond. 💡 The result? An inspired team returned to work, armed with new solutions and insights, ready to tackle the next challenge. #onestepaheadofthemarket #weenablechange #analysis #learningandsharing

What if… …you made the workplace a fun place to be? Given the fact that we spend a significant part of our days at work and alongside our colleagues, it only makes sense to create a workspace that's not just enjoyable but also strengthens our bond, right? See, that was our line of thinking. 😜 Here is how we put this idea into action in the early months of this year: 1. Housewarming Party for our additional second floor (since we’ve grown quite a lot) with a Terrific Table Tennis Tournament 🏓 2. A lovely and enriching breakfast on International Women’s Day 🥂 3. An Egg-stravagant Easter Egg Painting Afternoon for employees and their kids 🖌 Getting to know our colleagues better through these events was not only enjoyable but also incredibly rewarding. We're excited for the fun that the next few months will bring! 😍

New Faces – Who Dis? 😲   🤔 We've been a bit quiet with our New Hires Posts over the past few months, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy adding some fantastic new people to our company! Today, we're excited to introduce these wonderful individuals to you: Meet Leonid, Milena, Philippe, Floris, Nicole, and Lydia.   👨💻 Philippe dove into algorithmic trading during his physics studies, blending his love for math and programming to tackle real-world challenges. Now, he's a valuable part of our analyst team. Outside of work, Philippe enjoys cooking, delving into socially critical novels, and playing football.   🕵♂️ Floris brings a diverse range of interests to the table. When he's not indulging in cooking, gardening, reading, or gaming, he's honing his programming skills and learning new things. His analytical approach is not only logical but also creatively stimulating—a perfect fit for our analysts' team.   🙋♀️ In our People & Culture Team, Milena is on a mission to discover great new talent. She's a true animal enthusiast who loves outdoor adventures with her dog Bailey and cozy evenings with her cats. (Bailey has already made a guest appearance at the office – such a cutie!)   🚴♂️ Leonid is the latest addition to our system operations department, focusing on upgrading our technological infrastructure to overcome modern challenges. He appreciates good food, enjoys great company, and has a passion for the arts and sports, including cycling.   💃 Last but not least, there’s us, Nicole and Lydia, crafting this message and snapping funny pictures 😉. For Nicole, the beauty of marketing lies in highlighting what's special and harnessing the power of innovative technology. Besides crafting strategies and campaigns, she finds balance in Yoga, enjoys DIY upcycling, and treasures every moment of fun with her two "mini-monsters."   👩🎨 Lydia brings her creative flair to the team, especially enjoying painting with watercolors and digital drawing on her iPad. She's passionate about marketing and communication and looks forward to building a standout marketing department with Nicole.

Mädchen können Mathe – Mädchen können IT! Deswegen nehmen wir bei OPTIMAX ENERGY am Girls'Day teil. *english version in comments* Wusstet ihr, dass Programmieren und Softwareentwicklung lange Zeit Frauensache war? 👩 Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts spielten Frauen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Gestaltung der aufkeimenden Welt der Programmierung. Das Berufsfeld war primär weiblich geprägt und Pionierinnen wie Ada Lovelace (Erfinderin des ersten Computerprogramms) und Grace Hopper (Entwicklerin der ersten Programmiersprache COBOL) haben wir viel zu verdanken. 💻 Ohne ihre Vorarbeit wäre die Technologie wie wir sie heute nutzen, kaum denkbar. Mit Einzug des Computers in die Privatwirtschaft, wurde der Beruf der Programmiererin von Arbeitgebern sogar noch stärker als „weiblich“ verkauft, um die Nachfrage an Programmiererinnen decken zu können. ⛔ Die Geschlechterdynamik in der IT verschob sich aber im Laufe der Jahre. Nicht nur richtete sich PC-Werbung fast ausschließlich an technikvernarrte Jungs. Frauen wurden in den Nachkriegsjahren ganz bewusst von ihren Berufen zurückgedrängt, um Platz für die heimgekehrten Männer zu machen. Eine schwierige Zeit, welche ganze Generationen prägte. Heute sind lediglich noch knapp 20 % der IT-Jobs von Frauen besetzt. ♀ Wir finden, dass die Anerkennung und Würdigung des historischen Engagements von Frauen in der Computerbranche nicht nur wichtig ist, um ihre Beiträge zu würdigen, sondern auch um aktuelle und künftige Generationen zu inspirieren, vielfältige Karrieren in der Technologie zu verfolgen. Frauen haben den Intellekt, das Talent und die Innovationskraft, die dafür notwendig sind. 💡 Um schon jungen Mädchen einen Einblick in die spannende Welt des Programmierens zu geben, nehmen wir bei OPTIMAX ENERGY zum ersten Mal am Girsl’Day am 25.04. teil. Alle Infos zum Tag und zur Anmeldung gibt’s im Blogbeitrag. #onestepaheadofthemarket #girlsday #pioneerwomen #womeninIT https://lnkd.in/dnAWcpz3
