Female Talents was developed from the Women@PPI initiative to connect women within the company and support their development. The programme combines professional and personal development: it begins with a strengths analysis and covers classic management topics through to specific skills such as conflict management or dealing with power and micro-politics.
Key components:
- Personal development: Focus on strengths, goals, and concrete career planning.
- Management content: Conflict management skills, leadership topics and practical methods.
- Mentoring: Each participant is assigned a mentor from senior management – deliberately both women and men – for confidential exchange and internal networking.
In our German video, three colleagues present the programme: Maida Uhlmann, co-responsible for Female Talents, as well as Sabine Neugebauer and Alexandra Metz, who have already completed the programme and report on their experiences.
