Talent management

Jungheinrich completely reorganized its management qualification program to meet the mounting demands placed on its executives. Systematic executive resource development under the moniker of ‘talent management’ identifies, promotes and challenges employees with special skills as well as managers. In the future, important key positions on various management levels can be staffed from within our own ranks by drawing on the resulting talent pool. A total of 31 individuals from eight countries participated in talent management programs in 2008. Moreover, the new talent management system assists in building international networks within the Group, thus ensuring that knowledge is transferred throughout the Jungheinrich organization.
