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.
