Training and skills development
In today’s dynamic corporate environment, investing in employee develop-ment is a key element of success. Our company is fully aware of the importance of continuous learning and supports its employees in their personal and pro-fessional growth. With this commitment in mind, we offer a variety of training opportunities and innovative programs that go beyond the normal standards.
Seduo: an innovative platform for education
One of the key steps we have taken to promote continuous employee learning is our partnership with the Seduo learning platform. Employees have access to a wide range of online courses and trainings that contribute to their professio-nal development. This flexibility allows our employees to acquire new skills and knowledge at their own pace.
English workshops: improving language skills
Aware of the importance of international communication, we provide our em-ployees with the opportunity to participate in English workshops. These events not only promote the improvement of language skills, but also offer a space to deepen relationships between co-workers. Based on the needs of employees in a particular workplace, we provide the opportunity for individual English language training.
Czech workshops focused on soft skills development
These courses will help employees strengthen skills that are key to effective communication, teamwork and personal growth. These training courses are led by industry experts and provide concrete tools and techniques that em-ployees can immediately apply to their working lives.
We also have development programmes for individual groups of employees based on the needs of their job. Employees are nominated for these programs by their supervisors based on annual employee evaluations.
Development programme for managers
We created a dedicated programme for managers in 2023 that emphasised not only management and leadership skills, but also strategic thinking and an innovative approach. The training supports effective team management and the achievement of corporate goals.
Development programme for masters
Masters play a key role in the practical implementation of company processes. Our 2023 Master Development Program was designed to provide the technical and organizational skills needed to successfully lead work teams. Through training in effective communication and planning, foremen are able to lead their teams to optimal results.
Talent programme
In 2023, a talent program was also conducted, for which employees were selected based on their potential. This programme enables participants to undergo intensive personal and professional development under the guidance of industry experts.
Training programmes for trainees, officers and specialists will take place in 2024.
Flexibility in education: supporting individual development
We understand that each employee has unique needs and goals. That’s why we allow employees to request additional training activities outside of our standard offerings. We can accommodate such individual requests and provide a personalized training plan.
We believe that investing in the education and development of our employees brings long-term benefits not only for them, but also for the entire company. Open communication, support for diversity and an individual approach are key values that shape our company culture. We pride ourselves on seeing our employees as a key source of success and investing in their potential.
Workers in the value chain
At VÍTKOVICE STEEL, we emphasize respect for human rights and all related legal and ethical standards across the entire value chain. We apply this commitment not only to our own employees but also to our business partners.
We have introduced a Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which is an integral part of our Terms and Conditions of Purchase. By entering into a contract, our suppliers and partners explicitly commit to the principles of this Code, thereby jointly promoting responsible and ethically sustainable business.
