Annual Report - Miba

One of the main pillars
of Miba’s success
As a corporation, Miba strives to be one of the most
attractive employers and is willing to make considerable
investments for that purpose. Traditionally, 1% of the
annual sales is invested in training and education for
employees. On the other hand, employees invest their
“human capital” in Miba. Our objective is to utilize, sustain
and expand Miba employees’ knowledge and skills in the
best possible manner. This agreement is codified in Miba’s
“Human Capital Charter”.
Employees
The importance attached to “Human Capital” in Miba is also expressed in the newlycreated
position of Vice President Human Capital, who is directly accountable to Miba
AG’s Management Board. Dr. Gabriele Gerach-Schwarzer has held this position since
August 2004. Miba’s Leadership@cademy is a central training and support program for
current and potential managers. This intensive and practice-oriented program is held in
English, the Group’s working language, and students have to submit a “master thesis” on
one of Miba’s future topics in order to complete their studies. The first graduates were
awarded their diplomas in October of the previous year.
The participants at Miba’s Leadership@cademy come from different countries and from
diverse business and functional units within Miba. This results in an international mix
which considerably contributes to the integration of Miba sites all over the world. The
Management Board directly selects the participants.
