Careers and Development

Our business environment is subject to permanent change. The driving force of our Group is thus the continuous and high-quality further training of our staff as a precondition for their ability to perform at the highest levels. In order to meet the challenges we are faced with due to global competition now and in the future, Gerresheimer makes targeted investment in further training and qualifications. We place particular importance on the professional development of competencies – at all levels – consistently and continuously, from initial job training through to executive development.

We have formulated an Education & Development Program for the development of our executives and junior management. We intend to occupy key positions primarily with successors from within our own ranks. The development opportunities for specialists and executives at the Gerresheimer Group are solely related to performance and capability. Obtaining and developing successor candidates is one of the core tasks of executives. For our employees, this means that they can expect clear feedback on their performance and suitability, that they are carefully prepared for career progress, can quickly assume management and specialist responsibility, can realise their potential in the company by carrying out demanding tasks, and can acquire and develop relevant skills.

Having staff who are experts in their field is a success factor for our competence and worldwide market presence. Our quality and innovation targets can only be achieved with extremely well-qualified employees. The human-resources and training departments at the Gerresheimer sites at home and abroad therefore offer their staff a wide range of courses, from specialist apprenticeships through to individual executive training.

We now have production facilities at 42 sites in Europe, the Americas and Asia. This results in new challenges in terms of international collaboration, knowledge management and working in networked structures. This requires open-minded executives and specialists. The targeted exchange of personnel between the companies of the Group therefore has high priority at Gerresheimer. For employees who want to develop their careers on a worldwide basis, this opens up excellent prospects at all levels: from working in international project groups, temporary international deployment or taking a responsible position in one of our international companies for a period of several years. Gerresheimer offers you the opportunity to work abroad and to get to know other cultures and to broaden your horizons.
