WE in Talent Management,

By determining our friends’ potentials for the future with talent management, we aim to train and keep them for upper positions with development planning in accordance with their competencies.

In order to reach this goal, we support these processes with backup planning and by creating candidate pools. We strive to determine our friends’ strong aspects and points where they need improvement, to increase their awareness, and to prepare development planning in accordance with the above-mentioned plans. With the goal of making our talents’ development sustainable and continuous, we put this process into practice by planning the internal development, coaching, and mentorship process.

We commenced our Game Changers program as a Talent Management program in 2019 and we have been keeping our program sustainable since then. With a long-lasting program consisting of training and workshops under different titles depending on the need, we focus on our participants’ development after a selection process intended for our employees at specialist and supervisor/manager positions, on a yearly basis.

We utilize our internal resources by announcing our manager and lower position needs within the Group. Our employees can continue their career in different departments and companies within the Group as we prioritize our relevant or interested employees for these positions.
