As public health interventions help combat the increase of infection rates, it has allowed the cautious loosening of pandemic controls and a reintroduction of face-to-face elements in our learning and development program. Bühler is adopting a hybrid approach while maintaining safety as our primary objective. The pandemic has shown that learning, collaboration, exchange of ideas, and networking can be effective using virtual technology. However, in some circumstances face-to-face contact is needed to fully leverage creativity and team collaboration and best achieve our goals.
Lifelong learning for all employees is a core principle for Bühler regardless of age, location, or career stage. The pandemic has taught us that employee versatility is integral to business resilience. Today’s employees need the skills and knowledge to quickly adapt to new technologies and economic drivers. To help achieve this, Bühler has continued to develop its Next Generation Learning Program designed to explore how innovation can shape employee learning. Flexible learning programs help employees choose the most appropriate learning medium at different life stages. Bühler continues to develop the B-Learning platform delivering a broad spectrum of learning opportunities through videos, e-learnings, classroom trainings, webinars, and a mobile app. This year Bühler launched a new learning commitment, accompanied by a series of skill-building webinars available to all employees on topics such as cultural awareness, collaborative mentoring, and the power of self-belief.
