We invest in the development of our employees
Our employees’ skills and knowledge are among our key resources. That’s why we’re committed to continuously developing them further to ensure that our employees are at all times equipped to meet current and future requirements. By 2020, all our employees are to be assigned development targets to help them plan their future careers. Our aim is to not only counter the global shortage of skilled professionals in our industry, but in particular to be in a position to fill half of all vacancies for key positions with internal candidates.
