Development of key competencies, providing access to expert knowledge, implementing solutions to support staff educational ambitions –  these are just some of the measures supporting the lifelong learning culture. GAZ-SYSTEM has adopted a systemic approach to employee development. The principles for raising professional qualifications are set out in the „Regulations for Raising Employee Professional Qualifications”.

The Company places particular emphasis on ensuring continuous improvement of technical skills and broadening of the branch-specific, professional knowledge of its staff. Due to the specific nature of the Company, it is also crucial to maintain the validity of the qualifications already acquired by employees and to learn new ones in order to perform their tasks in a safe manner.

GAZ-SYSTEM offers its employees a range of training courses conducted by in-house trainers (senior employees). These are experts who deal with the subject matter of the training courses on a daily basis. As a result, the training offer is tailored to the specifics of the Company’s operations and meets the professional development needs of employees. The Company also offers an e-learning platform through which all employees have access to learning content. The courses available on the platform respond to the formal needs of the organisation (periodic training in occupational health and safety, cyber-security), develop soft skills, and present content on internal procedures or the operation of IT systems.

The internal training courses offered including the e-learning platform promote knowledge sharing culture and are part of the 'Knowledge Sharing Zone’.

Employees also have the opportunity to take part in external training, language courses, higher education, postgraduate or doctoral studies. Moreover, GAZ-SYSTEM's employees, including the management staff, regularly take part in symposia, conferences and discussion panels, thus enhancing the organisation's effectiveness and innovativeness.

An important aspect of employee upskilling is addressed in annual reviews on development with immediate superiors. This builds a culture of dialogue, supports conscious competence development planning, and contributes to increased employee engagement. The result of such reviews are individual development plans and set targets.
