we want to further promote continuous exchange between
employees and their managers – across all sites, in a glob-
ally uniform way, and thus transparently for everyone involved.
To ensure full implementation of this new process, all employees
have access to e-learning and various user videos. In
addition, all managers in the company received special
training on this topic.
Women in Management Positions
To further increase the share of women in management positions,
we are continuing to implement the LEADING
WOMEN @ ALTANA initiative in Germany. The initiative includes
a mentoring program that prepares women who
have potential for a possible leadership role and accompanies
women who have taken on a leadership role for the
first time. The twelve-month program involves teams of two
consisting of a mentee and a mentor who meet at regu-
lar intervals. During the meetings, the male or female mentor
shares his or her knowledge and experience with the
mentee.
ALTANA’s medium- to long-term goal is to increase the
proportion of women in management positions through-
out the ALTANA Group to the percentage that corresponds to
the share of women in the worldwide workforce.
Virtual Employer Branding
Despite the pandemic-related restrictions, we continued
to push forward our external recruiting activities. With creativity
and the use of innovative technology, we designed
3D tours of our company and participated in several virtual
career fairs. Our commitment is even recognized outside
ALTANA. For example, we finished first in the overall ranking
in the BEST RECRUITER competition among more than
400 top employers in Germany. The award confirms that the
projects we initiated in recent years are bearing fruit and
that we are meeting applicants’ expectations.
