Development & Teamwork

Personal development of our employees is critical and one of the most important ways we can support their development is through feedback. Alongside our Performance Management approach, we use our individual Development Dialogue as well as 360 Feedback to strengthen Bayer’s feedback culture and the development of our employees.

The Development Dialogue encourages managers to take responsibility for their employees’ development, while empowering employees to take ownership of their professional future by discussing their own perspectives, career aspirations and needs.

360 Feedback is a development tool to enhance leadership and performance by offering a clear picture of each employee’s performance from the perspective of colleagues and business associates. By helping our employees enhance their unique strengths and talent, we continuously develop our organization and create a working culture where our employees are empowered to give their best to learn and to develop into their full potential.

Bayer’s corporate university (the Bayer Academy) builds leadership and general management competence as well as functional expertise through high-impact and strategy and business-aligned learning opportunities.

Bayer Academy is an important part of Bayer’s Talent Management Strategy, the objective of which is to invest in the development of our own employees.

Bayer Academy supports on-the-job development with systematic training programs and also assists our employees as they take the next career development steps. Our seminars and learning opportunities are offered around the world in different languages and balance global and local needs.

Attending Bayer Academy learning programs is an invitation to shape Bayer’s future, exchanging ideas and experiences with colleagues and learning about the latest research-based knowledge that enables outside-the-box thinking. We actively involve our executives and strengthen cross-organizational collaboration, networking, exposure, and innovation.
