Feedback Culture
Personal development of our employees is crucial and one of the most important ways we can support their development is through regular 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 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.
Working in International Teams
Because the Bayer Group employs people from 127 countries around the world, promoting collaboration among employees and between employees and customers, from different cultural backgrounds is a top priority for us.
Bayer is a diverse workplace where you can feel supported to do your best work regardless of your nationality or background.
This diversity means that your teammates will consist of the best and brightest minds from around the world, creating a well-rounded company culture and ensuring that our customers can benefit from the best possible pool of international and multi-cultural expertise.
Individual Growth through Learning
At Bayer we believe that learning is a lifelong process and are committed to investing in the education and the training of our employees.
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. Giving future generations of leaders and experts the opportunity to grow allows continuous and sustainable development for both our employees and our business.
Bayer Academy
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.
Global Internal Job Board
One of our key objectives is to make career and development opportunities, across the entire Bayer organization up to senior management level, transparent to all employees in order to foster the internal mobility of our employees.
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.
By improving transparency and increasing internal career mobility, the job board helps to ensure that all employees find the job at Bayer that best fits their skills and ambitions.
