Talent Management: The basis for your career and personal development
Our talent management process includes four steps according to globally standardized criteria:
- Potential and Performance Assessment: Managers assess employees based on their performance and development potential.
- Development Round Table: Managers discuss the performance evaluation and development potential of their talents.
- Performance and Development Dialogue: Every employee receives transparent performance feedback in a confidential meeting with the supervisor. A result of this meeting is the definition of concrete development actions.
Development Actions: The individual development actions of our employees are pursued. These reach from individual coaching and specialized learning opportunities to the rotation to the next job - possibly going abroad or moving across to another business area.
Job rotations abroad
