Artificial intelligence may transform how we work, but critical thinking remains deeply human. In a recent exchange on innovation and AI, colleagues across Heraeus shared a common belief: AI can support decisions, generate ideas, and accelerate processes — but responsibility, judgment, and context must remain with people. Meet Dr. Anne-Isabelle Bidegaray, Senior Manager Innovation Management at Heraeus Precious Metals, and discover her perspective on the many possibilities AI creates — and why clarity, reflection, and human judgment matter more than ever. The discussion highlighted a shared understanding: the future will not belong to AI alone, but to people who know how to guide it responsibly....Show more

What does award-winning HR mean for you as an employee? At Heraeus HRdirect Americas, we believe HR should feel less like a process — and more like a real partnership. That means: less complexity, clearer guidance, and support when it actually matters. An environment where you can focus on your work, make decisions with confidence, and rely on consistent, high-quality HR support. This approach has recently been recognized with a 🏆 Gold Stevie® Award at the 24th Annual American Business Awards 🏆 Human Resources Team of the Year But the real value isn’t the award. It’s what you experience day to day: • Clear, efficient HR services that don’t slow you down • Processes that are straightforward and people-centered • Consistent standards across locations, with local understanding • A trusted HR partner supporting you and your manager • A culture built on respect, responsiveness, and continuous improvement The result: less friction, more focus, and a workplace where collaboration and performance can thrive. If you’re looking for an environment where HR actively supports your success, not just administrates it — you’ll find it here....Show more

Innovation doesn’t start in boardrooms. It starts in classrooms. In garages. At competition tables covered with prototypes and research posters. At 'Jugend forscht', young innovators present ideas they have developed with persistence and genuine scientific curiosity. Dr. Miriam Höner from our R&D team at Heraeus Covantics joined the regional competition in Hanau as a jury member, supporting young researchers as they share their work with remarkable courage and dedication. Encouraging this mindset is part of how we understand innovation at Heraeus. Because curiosity is not just the beginning of science. It is the foundation of progress. 👉 Watch the full story in our latest video. ...Show more
