A major change in the DRK district association Schwäbisch Gmünd: New Presidium in sight

In Schwäbisch Gmünd there is a remarkable change in the German Red Cross (DRK) district association. In a press release it is announced that the managing director Vesna Groznica, who has been in office for more than two years, will no longer be part of the association. This decision was discussed on September 30th and is part of a strategic realignment that the Presidium of the district association has decided.

The President of the DRK district association, Christian Baron, and his deputy Irene Meixner said in a letter that a fresh start was striving for after Groznica's previous achievements were recognized. The position of the management is now being advertised, while the deputy managing director Johannes Hirsch will temporarily take over the management.

information about the change

On Tuesday morning, the approximately 500 employees of the district association were informed about the changes. This new development did not come as a surprise to many, as there have been rumors about possible changes in leadership for some time. According to reports from DRK employees, the tone and employee satisfaction were repeatedly criticized.

In the past, the Presidium Groznica had given a coach and a deputy, Hirsch, and Baron had praised her work at the annual general meeting. But in the past few months there have been numerous departures of important employees, which indicates internal tensions. For example, the long -time director of the Kaiserberge house, Sandra Hoffmann, and HR Kai Scheppelmann left the DRK.

The future of the DRK district association

The step to separate Groznica represents the preliminary highlight of these internal difficulties. Although no details are announced about the exact reasons for the separation, Baron confirmed that the decision was well taken over and aimed at the need for a new beginning.

The district association has many challenges in front of them, with a planned construction project at the main location on Weißensteiner Strasse and the construction of a rescue station in Mutlangen. The operation of the Kaiserberge house must also be stabilized after it recently brought in positive quarterly figures. Baron made it clear that the organization of the DRK had to be further developed even without an old clothing container, as these had led to problems in the past. The departure from this practice was also announced.

The decision not to keep Groznica further could be seen as an opportunity for a new beginning in the DRK to strengthen internal structures and increase employee satisfaction. Current information about this process is at www.remszeitung.de
