Our HR strategy

The construction of river cruise ships and floating engine room units is highly complex and combines a whole range of new technologies. That’s why our employees always have to be up to date and highly qualified. That’s the secret to our success, and we can only survive in the demanding market thanks to our employees’ willingness to constantly expand their knowledge. 

We offer our staff a wide range of qualifications for their personal and professional development, including coaching, training courses and long-term development opportunities. We also promote our employees’ leadership and project management skills through programmes tailored especially to our needs. 

Further training is very important to us, because we know NEPTUN WERFT gets stronger with every additional qualification and training course. As part of our “Focus on Employees” philosophy, we hold regular staff meetings at NEPTUN WERFT to identify development paths and opportunities.

Investment in leadership and change management skills

The continuous development of our staff and managers is a key component of our corporate strategy. We therefore provide our managers with targeted training to enable them to successfully manage change processes.

The training courses ‘Leading Managers through Change’ and ‘Leading Line Managers and Staff through Change’ are funded by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), which covers 50 per cent of the eligible costs. Funding is provided in accordance with the ‘Guidelines on the Award of Grants for the In-Work Training of Employees in Companies (Training Guidelines)’.

The training courses are delivered by Profil M, a specialist provider of leadership development. As part of the training programme, managers from various areas of the company engage intensively with the topics of change management, dealing with resistance, and effectively supporting teams through change processes.

Through this training initiative, we are strengthening our company’s future viability and promoting a modern, appreciative leadership culture.
