Leadership licence
The leadership licence prepares selected Volkswagen employees, readying them to assume management tasks. It comprises qualification modules and an examination, and is orientated toward all members of staff who are about to assume leadership responsibility for the first time.
Potential
The basis of personnel planning, appointments and the promotion of top performers – especially of technical experts – is a harmonised set of standards in the human resources systems, for example short biographies for all managers and junior management staff. This makes the potential of the entire Group visible in a systematic planning process.
Intercultural competence
Specific local knowledge of management in the country concerned is essential when it comes to opening up and cultivating growth markets. For this reason, we are strengthening the management in the regions. To this end, we are also promoting the temporary deployment of top performers from our international companies to Germany. The staff involved are thus given the opportunity of advancing their professional qualification, of strengthening their intercultural competence and of building up professional networks. International deployments between companies of the Group also play an important role when it comes to making appointments to management positions.
