Promote and challenge

We place great value on well-trained and highly motivated employees. That’s why we invest in their progress.

To help nurture our talents, LANXESS has put in place a multi-tiered, systematic process of global HR development conferences, which enable us to regularly review the potential managerial employees worldwide. The Development Centers implemented in Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore are additional instruments for assessing potential. We also use management workshops to analyze the potential of candidates for top management positions. The results yielded by these complex and proven tools form a key component of our standardized HR development measures, and also of our systematic succession planning. 

A core component of our approach to HR development involves offering employees the opportunity to undertake a suitable foreign assignment. In regional terms, foreign assignments have so far centered on the United States, China and India, with the functional focus lying in sales, marketing and productions management. 

The LANXESS Academy, which we founded in fiscal 2008, offers an international modular management development program. Additional tools aimed at supporting dialogue include local programs such as the LANXESS Forum and the Summer Academy, which offer a platform for presentations and discussions in the various regions and also address unique cultural characteristics.  

We reward achievement with a fair and attractive compensation system linked to our company´s success and employees´ individual performance. With a view to the future, the training of young people is a high priority. With a broad-based HR marketing concept, we also aim to enhance LANXESS´s position as an attractive employer.
