Growing together

Good training takes time, as each person’s individual character and skills need dedi‑ cated support. Now, instructors and train‑ ing officers will spend 2.5 hours a week alone with trainees, allowing for individual consulta‑ tion, feedback, teach‑ ing and exchanging ideas. At DMK, training isn’t just a side line or a hobby. Excellent train‑ ing means taking an interest in the person you’re working with.

Training is something we are passionate about at DMK, and every employee is committed to helping trainees get a good start to their career. We give trainees more responsibility, develop and motivate every individual and treat each person as an equal, to better support the next generation’s innovative drive.

All of our 60 instructors took part in a review, completing online questionnaires, having feedback interviews and attending reflection workshops to explore the results. They found areas for improvement, and also where training at DMK needed more time, more freedom, better structures, clear guidelines and fundamental principles. Further workshops are planned involving plant managers, instructors and HR business part‑ ners to identify what we can do better.

Independently, a qualification program will be rolled out next year for all instructors.

We’re starting a new personnel marketing campaign „“Milk is more colorful than you thought” to make training more appealing and shine a light on the people in‑ volved in training. Milk is not just white but has many colors. It’s a metaphor for the company with its six different Business Units, broad range of products, more than 20 locations, modern technolgy, more than 15 different apprentice‑ ship trades, more than 7,700 employees and more than 6,000 farm‑ ers. It is milk that unifies us into one: the DMK Group. We’re proud to show that.
