Siemens is serious about the training and development of its people. We need first class, committed employees to thrive in a highly competitive global economy - now and in the future.
Our employees are undoubtedly our greatest assets, so we place great importance on nurturing our own talent by helping people at all levels in the company to develop their skills and capabilities, and to pursue their full potential.
A number of our businesses have received Investor in People accreditation, reflecting the effort and commitment they have put into staff development.
Many use National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) to plug important training gaps. NVQ training is enabling electrical maintenance and mechanical engineers, previously distinct specialisations, to broaden their skills and work as a team, helping their businesses become more efficient in the process.
And employees with management potential are encouraged to take part in the company’s management training programme, which provides an excellent forum for personal and team development, as well as networking and knowledge exchange with peers from other businesses.
