Tone of voice

Our communication is crisp, clear and blends compassion with clinical, operational business and patient outcome.

We speak in a way that everyone understands

Helping, caring and protecting are both rational and emotional. Expertise, commitment, reliability, hope and joy all come together to form one message. That’s why our tone of voice reflects all these human elements. We are dedicated experts but communicate in a way that everyone understands with a combination of professionalism and down-to-earth warmth. This blend of both worlds reflects our values of human-centric, smart and outcome-driven results.

Outcome-focused in every way

Whenever possible, we prove the performance of our products and solutions. When a specific benefit is mentioned, it should be backed up with the corresponding data. This optimally demonstrates our outcome-focused approach while providing convincing arguments to choose HARTMANN every time.

Guidelines for gender-neutral communication
