We stress team work as a cultural value. Teams are the ABB way. Teams are essential to produce the complex lines which are our speciality. We have formal team work training for our people performed by outside trainers and some people with special training in our training department. A key part of our approach is mentoring.
All new employees have a mentor.
The mentor answers all the questions and is responsible for ensuring the growth of the individual as a valued team player. A Continuing education is a key corporate value. Everybody is expected to attend formal training every year. This includes training on our own new products, formal training on equipment we source from others, including PLC's, Systems training, leadership and management training. A Pay them well and give them outstanding opportunities for personal growth.
