Promotion and development of employees is one of the key
factors of success of our company. Competence management is one of the core
strategies we have developed. This term comprises executive and personnel
development, personnel strategy or training activities and creating the
necessary general framework, like the GEA group Acamedy.
Our key guideline
is that at GEA TDS of all executive vacancies are filled from our own
ranks (approx. 80 percent ).

Advanced Vocational Training
Education and training at
GEA TDS is organized in close consultation between superiors, employees and
Human Resources. In addition, GEA TDS benefits from the extensive training and
development activities of the GEA Group.
The education and training
activities of the GEA Group are structured as illustrated by the diagram below.
The GEA Group Academy, GEA TraCe, GEA IT as well as other projects and
customized programs are core elements. GEA IT offers training to both
individuals and groups at training centres and in the field. The divisions and
companies operate further basic, divisional and cross-divisional training
facilities.
GEA Group Academy
The virtual GEA Corporate
University (GEA Group Academy) created in 1999 provides GEA Group specific
management training and development guided by GEA Group strategies. It is the
policy of the GEA Group Academy to promote change in the organization in
response to competing markets. It is an essential tool to teach
cross-divisional corporate knowledge and expertise and contributes to setting
global standards in the organization. The Steering Committee of the GEA Group
Academy and its control by the Executive Board of the company ensure the
Academy’s focus on strategic change in the Group.
Facing changing
challenges, the GEA Group Academy agreed to an active learning alliance with
the Malik Management Zentrum in St.Gallen in 2004. The GEA Group Academy is now
able to provide its executives with access to a highly effective range of
services and tools:
-
Carefully researched and
well-proven management knowledge
-
Advances and experience in
the application of system-oriented management theory
-
Decades of experience in
targeted executive and staff training
-
Where desired systematic
backup of learning transfer by coaching and by consulting experts until the
transfer has been completed
The target group of the GEA
Group Academy consists of senior managers, the middle management level and
select young talents. The themes addressed are determined by strategic
challenges and future competences needed by the GEA Group. The GEA Group
Academy is thus a virtual organization for a group of staff who hold already
decision-making and leadership functions.
GEA TraCe
The virtual GEA Training
Center (GEA TraCe) was set up to address GEA Group requirements and needs
mainly in the fields of personality development and soft skills. As a
complement to the GEA Group Academy it focuses on the development of
personalities and soft skills of our executives.
The target group of
the programs consists of young talents, high potentials and executives of GEA
Group.
GEA TraCe is driven by the idea that management competence, one
of the key resources of GEA Group, breaks down into a knowledge/skills
dimension and a personality dimension. GEA TraCe is therefore complementary to
the work of the GEA Group Academy.
