New module for personnel development
In the year under review we completed the companywide roll-out of the new SAP module "Personnel Development" at Hannover Home Office. The goal is to optimally track and utilise our employees' existing skills throughout the organisation: staff potentials are to be identified and cultivated, while shortcomings can be alleviated with targeted training activities.
Centralised data recording interlinks the appraisals from various personnel development tools – while preserving the greatest possible objectivity – and thus enables us to obtain a comprehensive overview of the highly diverse skills set available among our workforce. As a supporting measure, we use already established applications for the updating and viewing of data by staff and managers.
Going hand-in-hand with the new module we have implemented self-assessment as a further criterion; infuture, this will complement the feedback obtained from the other tools. All in all, then, the following personnel development tools are now available in addition to selfassessment and appraisal interviews: personnel development workshops, management feedback and project manager appraisals.
In the year under review we additionally included an assessment of specialist expertise as a further component of our appraisal interview; the relevant lists are being drawn up progressively and stored for all departments of our company in close consultation with the specialist areas. In the context of this project special reference should be made to the close and trusting cooperation with our Employee Council.
