An Evening for Responsibility and Unity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the 19th Lea SME Award ceremony, everything revolved around the motto “Together.”<\/em>221 companies from across Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg showcased what social commitment in the SME sector can mean.<\/p>\n

Also in attendance: HCM SSC GmbH. Our colleagues Jaqueline Frick and Steffen Braun represented the company in the White Hall of the New Palace in Stuttgart\u2014and returned impressed. <\/p>\n

\n

Strong ideas, lots of dedication\u2014it\u2019s impressive to see how diverse engagement is lived,” the two summed up the evening.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Our Project: Digital Skills for Primary Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 2023\/2024 school year, we taught the 4th grade class at Kleingartach Primary School every week as part of a computer club. The goal was to introduce children to basic digital skills early on\u2014in a practical, understandable, and fun way. <\/p>\n

What makes this project special: Without our support, this class would not have been possible. Access to computers, office applications, and safe internet use is still not a given in many primary schools, especially not as part of the regular school day. The lessons were personally conducted by our CEO, Roland Quade.<\/strong> For him, it was more than volunteer work\u2014it was a true passion project. <\/p>\n

What the children learned:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Basics of hardware and software<\/li>\n
  • Risks of internet use and how to navigate them safely<\/li>\n
  • Praktische \u00dcbungen mit Word, Excel und PowerPoint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    They created profiles, conducted online research, improved their mouse and keyboard skills\u2014and with each lesson, they grew a little more into the digital world.<\/p>\n

    Why we do this? It\u2019s straightforward. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Not all children have early access to digital devices or software, and schools often face limits in providing hands-on IT education. That\u2019s where we come in. As an SAP HCM consultancy, we embrace digital processes and share our expertise where it matters most\u2014with the professionals of tomorrow. <\/p>\n


    \nA big thank you to the organizers<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We sincerely thank the organizers of the Lea SME Award for a truly special evening, and all the companies whose commitment shows that responsibility starts small, grows through action, and impacts society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
