The Bayer Group employs people from 127 countries. We therefore give high priority to working with colleagues and customers from different cultural backgrounds. Bayer welcomes this diversity.
We back every single employee and will help you perform your work to the very best of your ability – wherever you are from and whatever your background. A diverse employee structure is important for our company’s future competitiveness. You work with the most talented people, and we all benefit from enhanced problem-solving ability and innovative capability that are demonstrably linked to cultural diversity. That is the basis for our constant development.
The Development Dialogue encourages managers to take responsibility for their employees’ development, while empowering employees to drive their own professional growth. During this dialogue, employees discuss their strengths, development needs, and career aspirations with their direct supervisor in order to agree on a personal development plan.
This is why our employees benefit from extensive educational and training programs to encourage professional and personal development. 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.
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.
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.
This loss of knowledge will even increase in the future by demographic change. To counteract this problem, Bayer launched the Bayer Senior Experts Network (BaySEN) initiative. BaySEN is an initiative designed to utilize the knowledge and experience of retired employees in business workflows in the future and thus make a lasting contribution to the company’s success. By providing a new platform for different generations to work together and learn from one another, BaySEN fosters diversity within the Bayer Group.
