Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA as well as its four business segments pursue segment-specific ambitions. We want to build on the position of our business segments as drivers of innovation in the healthcare sector. Our aim in doing so is to attract new employees who contribute to the company’s success through their willingness to perform, their expertise, their experience, and their willingness to work together as a team.
Fresenius Medical Care set a global target of achieving an employee engagement score that is in line with the healthcare industry benchmark of 63% by 2027. The business segment identifies individual learning needs through development and career conversations. In 2023, Fresenius Medical Care intends to roll out a globally harmonized performance management process to over 50% of its employees via its global performance and development platform. The company plans to offer access to this process to the remainder of employees in early 2024.
Fresenius Kabi wants to be the employer of choice. With its Vision 2026 the business segment wants to make a cultural change and advance the company culture together, in the terms of how the company works together, what values it stands for, how it makes decisions, and how it develops the next generation of leaders. To achieve this, it is important to have continuous feedback.
Fresenius Helios has dedicated targets in Spain and Germany with regard to annual investments in the training and education of employees. In view of the ongoing digitalization and increased use of e-learning, whether these targets need to be adjusted should be examined. In 2022, there was no adjustment to the investment target of 0.4% of segment sales.
Fresenius Helios continued the development of training portfolio management, the aim of which is to evaluate and market employee training and further education options and services more effectively – internally and externally.
For Helios Germany, the priority in the reporting year was to create working that support the public image of the company as an attractive employer. The increasing shortage of skilled workers on the labor market made the search for suitable personnel even more difficult. Against this background, it is necessary for Helios to differentiate itself from competitors, as well as to create attractive working conditions for current and future employees.
Part of Helios Spain’s quality strategy is the fulfillment of various KPIs, including the implementation of two mandatory training courses for employees on the topics of patient satisfaction and patient safety. In addition, the training offering has been expanded to adapt it to the future generation of employees, to meet the challenges in the healthcare sector, and to promote patient care through the use of digitalization and technology.
Fresenius Vamed continually evaluates its own vocational training and development programs; where necessary, the business segment develops and implements adaptation or improvement measures. Fresenius Vamed also continually optimizes its HR development processes through additional digitalization. The objectives for training and further education at Fresenius Vamed are determined in the context of the Vamed personnel strategy and brought in line with ESG and sustainability targets. The business segment aims to strengthen its leadership culture by offering targeted training programs for managers and to expand the range of courses offered by the internal training and development platform Vamed Academy.
