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.
This is why our employees benefit from extensive educational and training programs to encourage professional and personal development, while enabling them to be their very best. Leveraging the talent that everybody brings to Bayer and taking advantage of the richness of ideas, backgrounds and perspectives of all our employees is one of our key Bayer Talent Management principles. Giving future generations of leaders and experts the opportunity to grow allows continuous and sustainable development for both our employees and the overall success of the company.
Therefore, we established an internal job board in 2012 to provide our employees with privileged access to open positions and make it easy for them to find out about new job opportunities worldwide.
