The first entry for the Automotive Logistics Awards has been shortlisted in the category "Logistics’ Got Talent Award"

The first entry for the Automotive Logistics Awards has been shortlisted in the category “Logistics’ Got Talent Award”.

It all began in November 2016… 

GEFCO University was created as a result of the Employee Engagement Survey conducted in November 2016. GEFCO received a low and below satisfactory rating within the section “Learning & Development and Career Opportunities” by its employees. To address this result, the platform was implemented to:

  • Target entire scope of learning (tactical – integrated – strategic) and beyond; the Corporate University embraces the vision of leadership, not just the skill required for the execution of the job
  • Articulate Group University with Country University. Some programs will be led by the group, others will be led by countries or Zones
  • Promote a culture of development and continue to explore ways of working with self-managed and self-directed learning. Ensure employee use GEFCO University extensively
  • Connect Corporate University with GEFCO worldwide project
  • Cover function mapping and career paths
  • Support employee on-boarding
  • Develop curriculum within Academies
  • Continue our effort heading to increase digital learning
  • Ensure we propose all possible development tools including the most innovative
