training
This training is held in German.
The shortage of skilled workers is here to stay. Even employees made redundant due to crises will not close the gaps, neither quantitatively nor qualitatively. Therefore, there is only one way to find and retain employees: Beyond the standard slogans superficially characterized by employer branding, companies must actually become more attractive at their core and at the same time more efficient in order to remain competitive. With innovative working time organization, it is possible to achieve both at the same time. This training shows how this works in both administrative and blue-collar areas.
