Corporate strategic focus
Lead & Learn
" Lead & Learn outlines ways in which we realise and deliver Value through Innovation and helps to meet the challenges to come. It is about how we work together."
(Boehringer Ingelheim Lead & Learn)
The way we work together is at the heart of our employee-supervisor dialogue.
To see if we are living up to our fundamental aspirations, these are the questions we ask ourselves:
- Are we taking the innitiative?
- Are we connected?
- Are we growing together?
- Are we getting results?
Overall job responsibility
Dialogue and sharing between the employee and supervisor is needed around the expectations, accountabilities and the quality of accomplishments related to the employee's main job.
Open, honest and constructive feedback should be encouraged and practiced in both directions between the employeee and the supervisor.
Goal agreement
Variable performance-related goals are value-adding.
They make a significant contribution to realising our corporate strategy.
Development planning
There is no substitute for knowledge and learning, creativity and innovation, competencies and capabilities. They need to be relentlessly pursued and focused in line with the organisation's current and long-term requirements.
Development planning takes into account
- Maintaining or increasing the level of job proficiency in the current role
- Employability
- Personal growth related aspects as well as
- Management of expectations.
