Our employees and our human resources policy are our key strengths
“We know that the skills, commitment and motivation of our employees are the
keys to our corporate success. One of our main tasks is therefore to create tools that encourage
these qualities, in other words, performance-based systems that promote initiative and reward
achievement.”
Dr. Richard Pott, Labor Director and Member of Bayer’s Group Management Board
These principles have made Bayer a major international company. To build on our achievements, we
have geared our human resources policy to present-day needs.
Bayer deploys modern concepts to make sure that its human resources policy meets changing
market requirements. New ways of working, new organizational structures, new technologies and new
markets are catalysts for change. Established processes have to be reviewed and modified to reflect
the company’s success and international competitiveness, or replaced by completely new methods
geared to the future. Change management therefore plays a pivotal role in our activities. Our
managers and employees actively shape and support change. The cornerstones of our everyday work are
our
management ethos,
Responsible Care, flat
hierarchical structures,
constructive
cooperation and
value management. Those are
the roots of our success.
