In order to further extend our lead over the competition we need a constant stream of innovative products and sustained reinforcement of customer relationships. Targeted and systematic further training courses and the qualification of employees on all levels and in all areas therefore go
without saying for us.
Aside from specialist training, imparting social and intercultural skills is also essential for a performance and innovation-driven corporate culture. This promotes qualities such as cooperation and team skills, as well as the ability for integrated thinking.
In Germany we use a three-phase qualification system to train our employees. This includes individual, professional advanced training courses that are tailored to the employee's specific duties. The system also promotes the personal and professional development of individual employees as part of further training programs such as the Med Management Development Program.
The third building block of the qualification system in Germany is internal further training courses, during which employees pass on their specialist knowledge to their colleagues. The choice of program content is designed to optimise processes and to convey interface knowledge that extends beyond the respective participant's own area of work.
In the United States, in addition to the wide range of further training offered and specific on-the-job trainings, there are also complete training programs that selectively develop the professional and social skills of individual employees. One example of such a program is the Executive Development Program Series. Topics dealt with as part of this program include the areas of sales, marketing and customer support, as well as product innovation and product development. |  Personnel structure
