Training programmes

Target-orientated training is an essential factor for us to empower our employees and management so that they can successfully face the associated demands on communication skills and efficiency in the working area.

CLAAS' success is in our employees' hands. Current challenges and developments are very demanding: Constant changes in our processes and increasing globalisation cause a high speed and require professional behaviour in a national and international dialogue.

Therefore, we actively support our employees' personal development by offering an extensive training programme. This includes:

  • Consultation and coaching
  • Seminars and training
  • (Management) development programmes

The first step for managers to take is to set personal targets together with the employee in appraisal interviews. Development perspectives and activities are developed there. At the same time, the development plans are also used to qualitatively assess the potential of the top performers.

The group-wide training opportunities cover more than 45 strategically relevant topics and are specifically tailored to meet the needs and requirements of CLAAS employees and management. Specialist and methodological knowledge, as well as personal and intercultural skills are shared by working together with selected institutes, experts and universities.The groupwide linking of specialists and managers through in-house seminars allows CLAAS to be seen as a whole company and to increase intercultural and interdisciplinary understanding. Intercultural differences are explicitly considered and evaluated with the support of standardised instruments in the course of international programmes. A section of the training programmes is specifically designed to meet the needs of managers in order to provide them with qualified support in their role. 

In order to share a common understanding of leadership at CLAAS, our principles of management and working together are an integral part of our management development. In addition to classic topics such as employee leadership, team development, business management and change management, our managers also receive individual coaching so that they can fulfil their role to the best of their ability within the context of the corporate culture. In addition, experts regularly provide experienced managers with new insights into current management requirements and offer the basics for a professional and topical exchange via keynote presentations.
