Are you already familiar with the BAUR Group's talent management? In this blog post, we want to tell you more about how we deal with talent and show you the opportunities we offer.
Let's start from the beginning: What actually is a talent?
We have defined the term "talent" for the BAUR Group as follows:
"ANY EMPLOYEE WHO IS ELIGIBLE AND/OR WILLING TO RECEIVE FUNDING IS A TALENT!"
We start from the assumption that every one of our employees is fundamentally "talented", otherwise we wouldn't have hired them in the first place. As a result, our talent management is not based on a purely exclusive approach, but focuses on all BAUR Group employees who want to develop themselves further.
Today we're showing you the talent pool, the Otto Group's "Your Next Move" initiative and our top talent support.
What exactly is behind the talent pool?
The Talent Pool System (TPS for short) is used to identify, retain and promote talent. With the help of the TPS, suitable internal and external talent can be found more quickly and accurately when filling vacancies and succession planning, as well as when filling temporary project positions. The TPS therefore has the potential to accelerate the filling of vacancies by internal employees or external applicants.
Can only internal employees be included in the talent pool system?
No, because there is talent not only in our company, but also among our applicants. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that we cannot hire every applicant despite many good applications or interviews. Here, too, it is possible to be included in the talent pool system.
Former interns and trainees can also be included in the talent pool. This is because it is not always possible for a trainee or intern to stay with us. It is therefore important for us to maintain contact in order to keep the option open for future employment.
At the beginning of October 2023, the Otto Group will launch the new Group-wide initiative for internal career opportunities under the motto "Your Next Move - Jobs within Otto Group".
This initiative restructures the processes involved in changing jobs to another Group company. In close cooperation with the HR departments of more than eleven Group companies and the holding company, the internal Otto Group Job Portal was optimized, a uniform Group-wide definition for Otto Group talents was developed and the role of talent brokers was introduced. They support the talents in their internal Group career.
Our top talents have important talents that are particularly critical to the success of the BAUR Group. In addition, they want to develop into another horizontal or vertical position in the short to medium term. They are characterized by performance and potential assessments that exceed the requirements of their current function. As part of our support, we provide our talented employees with individual, goal-oriented development planning, networking & visibility, job shadowing or mentoring.
What do we want to achieve with talent management?
We want to develop and support employees and accompany them on their development path with a focus on their strengths. This goal is also a key component of our management guidelines and therefore part of our company's CR strategy.
We want to give existing employees "new" perspectives and objective career planning. In addition, employee retention, faster recruiting and professional succession planning are also key points that guide us in the design and implementation of our talent management.
It is also important to us to maintain contact with external applicants in order to give them the opportunity to apply again if a vacancy arises.
