TRAINING AND EDUCATION
LA9. Training and education
The extent of training and education during the year remained largely on the
same level as 2009. In total, 875 employees took part in one of the DB Schenker
centrally administered training programmes. Skills development can also be
regarded as including other forms of training, both external arrangements and
locally arranged courses. This information is not available on a central level
and is not reported here.
From the central training statistics, we note that female course participation,
both in operational training and management/leadership training, increased
significantly compared with the previous year. Almost half (47%) of the participants
in the leadership training programmes during the year were women,
compared with 30% the previous year. In other training programmes, female
participation totalled 43%.
The perception of the employees about their own skills development during
the past year did not indicate any major differences compared with the previous
year. Among white-collar workers, approximately half of the women and
just over half of the men state that they had two or more days of skills development
during 2010, which is identical to the results for 2009.
According to the blue-collar workers, the training days were fewer during 2010
compared to the previous year. 37% of the men and 46% of the women in
this personnel category state that they had received at least one day of skills
development.
(DB Schenker’s guidelines state at least one day for blue-collar workers and
two days for white-collar workers)
