Around 7,000 employees support our business on all continents. They are, so to speak, the face of Wincor Nixdorf to customers and partners. The sum total of their individual performance forms the basis for our business success. For that reason, we regard the development and growth of our employees as a key investment in our future.

High Emphasis on Professional Training.
Training of young people has traditionally been a high priority at Wincor Nixdorf. Alongside the social obligation of securing high-quality training places for young people, we also need to cover our own requirements for highly trained people with specialist skills. After finishing their training successfully, all our apprentice trainees are offered starts to their careers at Wincor Nixdorf. In addition to apprentices in the engineering and technical professions, we train people in IT and administrative functions. Moreover, Wincor Nixdorf assists dual-course students in technical and business management disciplines with grants.

Developing Potential.
Only attractive employers draw the best people. For this reason, we have a corporate culture that fosters experience, knowledge and creativity. We support the ongoing personal and professional development of individual staff members. For instance, we have expanded internationally our “Young Professionals” development program, which was introduced successfully last year. The program helps prepare staff over a period of three years for management positions that will become available across the Group in the medium term.

In the “Peer Group” program, employees have the opportunity to develop strategic knowledge and capabilities together with colleagues from other countries and other parts of the Company.

In order to increase the performance of our employees and strengthen their identification with the Company, we offer performance-related pay to reward them for their role in our business success.

Creative Ideas.
Through creative ideas, our employees also make an additional, concrete contribution to improving the performance and thus competitiveness of the Company. In the fiscal year, nearly 900 suggestions were submitted in Germany alone.

Many Different Opportunities to Acquire and Exchange Knowledge.
A key component of Wincor Nixdorf’s success is in-depth communication between management and employees, aided by regular encounters. In addition to internal communication, continuous in-depth customer contact is a major priority. Once a year, we hold larger individual events, which have meanwhile established themselves as important platforms for our customers to share knowledge and experience. The events include the international “Wincor World” exhibition, the “International Management Seminar” (IMS) and banking industry conferences such as the top-level International Retail Banking Conference, which we sponsor jointly with the German financial newspaper “Börsen-Zeitung.”

New Learning Concept Introduced.
We provide both professional and on-the-job training to expand the collective expert knowledge of our employees and advance their development opportunities. To improve our development training, we introduced an “eTraining” program in the fiscal year. With this initiative, participants from all countries come together in a virtual group and take part in online events such as training courses and conferences, which give them an opportunity to share knowledge as well as specific information and documents. As for the key benefits of this new program, training events become part of daily work routines, and more employees can be reached, and the company can reduce costs.
