The constant pressure to adapt and compete in various sectors means greater demands on skills. And people are also required to be increasingly flexible and efficient. The Group therefore works long-term on several levels to increase knowledge transfer internally, help its employees to continue growing, and refine its corporate culture. Important tools in this process are Affärsskolan and various forms of collaboration within the Group.
Transfer of skills and experience for personal growth
Human capital is Addtech’s most important means of competition. Management and employees in Group companies must therefore interact with each other in various ways that benefit the customer and the Group.
The Group’s high level of transparency and proactive cross-pollination are necessary for employees to grow in their professional roles. The transfer of skills and experience between employees helps both the Group and the individual subsidiaries evolve. Examples of internal networks that reinforce corporate culture and expertise are Affärsskolan, CEO meetings and cooperation within and among the four business areas.
Affärsskolan helping employees and the Group to grow
Addtech’s Affärsskola (Business School) is an important platform from which to convey corporate culture, develop business acumen and raise the level of professionalism among employees. The overall aim of the training provided is to educate and motivate staff to become committed, successful employees in the Group. Affärsskolan’s various courses offer employees training adapted to their experience and duties, and are aimed at both new employees and senior executives in Group companies.
Key role of suppliers in employee training
Within partnerships with suppliers, a great deal of knowledge is transferred between the employees of both parties. Key personnel at Addtech also regularly spend time with suppliers in Europe, Asia and the US. These relationships are important in terms of maintaining a high level of technical expertise in the respective market areas of the subsidiaries.
