Johnson & Johnson Schaffhausen places great importance upon individual training and development opportunities for staff.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT. MAKE USE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES!

Johnson & Johnson offers its staff a broad spectrum of training and development opportunities. Training is usually in the form of “on-the-job” experience. We employ people who we believe possess knowledge or leadership qualities relevant to our future. But you don’t become that kind of leadership personality overnight.

This process of development begins on your first day and continues throughout your entire career with Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s philosophy is to encourage staff, and to improve their performance and skills throughout their career by regular participation in relevant training events – and not just when you are promoted or your responsibilities change. Johnson & Johnson Schaffhausen considers it important that its employees can carry out their duties to a high level and that they meet future as well as current requirements. We attach especial importance to maintaining and developing employees’ ability to learn and their flexibility.

Selection for training courses is made using performance appraisals and personal development plans (see Talent Management Process). This process enables you, together with your company as a whole, to gain a clear perspective on your work and further development.

Further training can come about through staff suggestions. This way, the process is advantageous not only for your company but also for you. The company supports its staff in this primarily through providing job-specific in-service and advanced training. Johnson & Johnson provides eUniversity, a worldwide common platform to support on-site training and e-learning.

TALENT MANAGEMENT. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR POTENTIAL!

In all Johnson & Johnson companies, a continuous process of evaluating and monitoring staff capabilities is in place. The Johnson & Johnson credo and global management principles are the basis of the evaluation process, which identifies and assesses the need and opportunity for training.

One of the particular advantages of the process is the ability to have regular one-on-one meetings with your managers in order to evaluate your progress and performance in a structured discussion. The performance evaluation and personal development process is there to ensure that individual employees and teams know what is expected of them. They should all know, too, that their performance is acknowledged and that ways to continually improve individual, team and whole company performance will be found. The performance evaluation process forms the basis of personal development within Johnson & Johnson Schaffhausen or the Johnson & Johnson Group respectively. It enables the individual’s efforts to be matched to the goals of the company.

It is of great importance that every member of staff knows the route that their company is taking, what role they are playing in meeting its goals, and that they are in a position to give their utmost. Furthermore, the process helps individuals and their managers to identify areas with training needs. That gives everybody the opportunity to make the most of his or her potential.

On an application you should leave nothing to chance. Prepare yourself as well as you can. We have put together a few useful tips for you.

THE APPROACH

A job application, besides a personal cover letter, should consist of a tabular CV and copies of your references.

Essentially you should work on the basis that human resources staff in businesses receive a stack of applications to look at every day. Your personal cover letter must therefore be all about being noticed and must be presented as well as possible – at the same time bearing in mind that inconsistencies and capabilities will be discussed by the interview stage, if not before.

It is important that the cover letter be directly related to the company and tells the company about your personal interests and skills. Show the company what you could bring to it and why you are important. Ask yourself:

Your professional goals and aspirations should also be clear. The cover letter should ideally be no longer than one page.

APPROACH VIA AN ONLINE APPLICATION
