TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

The DevelopYou project was designed with the clear goal of providing our employees with a comprehensive and effective development platform by offering them the opportunity to develop their full potential. Therefore, various options such as department transfers, new projects, and potential promotions can be supported through targeted and transparent performance evaluations, as well as personalised measures and development plans. This ensures not only that our employees are empowered and supported, but also that the company is always moving forward.

A key component of the DevelopYou project is the newly implemented onboarding programme, which should give our new team members the best possible start.  In addition to legally required training courses, in which we introduce our new starters to the ALDI SÜD HOLDING, they are given the opportunity to get to know not only different departments but also the operations in our stores. They receive support during ongoing exchanges with their supervisors as well as by so-called "buddies", i.e. colleagues who are always on hand to answer any questions or other concerns the new starters have.

All our employees have the opportunity to take advantage of numerous training and development options from our extensive training catalogue. These include not only software trainings but also trainings to expand professional competences such as project management or negotiation skills as well as to further develop personal and social skills, for example in the area of communication or conflict management. As an international company, diversity is crucial to us, which is why we also offer intercultural trainings and language courses both in German and English. Additionally, individual coaching and mentoring are provided to ensure that all our employees receive the support they need to develop their full potential.

Our leadership development programme has also been updated  with the aim of supporting each leader in further developing their leadership skills. It provides insights into leaders' performances and potentials through 360-degree-feedback, coaching sessions, and customised masterclasses to support their continuous growth.

Additionally, training and development opportunities from our training catalogue on topics such as team leadership and motivation, personnel development and healthy self-management are available for leaders to access.
