“Learning is like rowing against the current. As soon as you stop, you drift back.” LAOTSE
Continued and foresighted personnel development is the MERKUR GROUP’s answer to the present trends on the market: advancing digitalisation, increasing complexity and the ever more rapid pace of change. To enable us to also meet these challenges in future, our personnel development follows three central principles.
As a competent point of contact within the corporate group, we attach great importance to good working relationships and promote our employees’ individual development through needs-driven concepts.
We offer a hybrid training and learning approach. This involves combining classroom training at our own training centre, Schloss Benkhausen, with digital formats to ensure the best possible transfer of practical experience.
We empower our employees to assume personal responsibility so that they can play a role in shaping their own personal development. We create the necessary framework for this and advise our employees and their managers according to their individual needs.
With a wide range of further training opportunities for both job entrants and experienced professionals, we offer specialists and managers solutions tailored to their needs. We place the focus on trustworthy advice. Our tailor-made range of seminars enables you to organise your day-to-day operations more efficiently and promotes personal development.
To ensure that our corporate group achieves its long-term goals we advise our management staff. To this end, we work continuously to further expand our talent management and develop strong tools to support personal career paths within the company in a targeted manner.
We advise our employees and support them in drawing up a needs-oriented personal development plan. In addition to offerings from our extensive in-house programme, this can include specialised external seminars and in-service training. This wide choice of options also enables us to offer our specialists development opportunities individually tailored to their specialist careers.
Our employees can build up and expand their practical skills in a wide range of interdisciplinary in-house seminars. The focus is primarily on developing leadership, methodological, personal and specialist skills. One particular aim is to promote through these seminars an exchange of ideas and networking between staff from different divisions of the MERKUR GROUP.
To ensure smooth communication with international colleagues or business partners, we facilitate the improvement of language skills. We currently offer language courses in English, Spanish, Serbian, Polish, Czech and German, either as face-to-face or online training.
Making it easier for our junior employees to make the transition from an apprenticeship or studies to working life has a high priority for us. Our further training programme for Young Professionals gives them the necessary tools for a career within the MERKUR GROUP.
For employees with professional experience, we offer a series of multi-stage further training programmes, including, for example, a special management training course for junior managers.
Our seminars are held at our own training centre, Schloss Benkhausen. As well as modern conference rooms in a historical ambience, Schloss Benkhausen offers first-class hospitality and accommodation for seminar attendees from the decentralised company locations.
The GAUSELMANN INSTITUTE is an independent academic institution that researches practice-relevant issues and initiates future-oriented advanced training programmes to strengthen sustainable corporate development. The Institute’s cooperation partners are the MERKUR GROUP and the FHDW, a private university of applied sciences.
