Your Benefits

Flexible working hours

ELA gives you the freedom to press snooze one last time in the morning or leave work early. Our commercial positions offer you the benefit of flexibility in the form of flextime, meaning you can plan your workday as you see fit.

Working from home

Employees with a commercial position can spend some of their work week working from home, ensuring they can remain flexible.

Onboarding program

Our highly extensive onboarding process is held at our headquarters in Haren (Ems). This program allows you to get acquainted with all the areas of the company, our products, and your colleagues, ensuring you'll be well prepared to begin your daily work routine.

We help you keep in shape

Do you enjoy spending your free time lifting weights or running on the treadmill while listening to your favorite tunes? Our company gym will offer you refuge from a hectic workday.

Massages

We can offer you regular massage appointments with our in-house physiotherapist, making stubborn muscular tension and back pain a thing of the past.
