HTI College at LEITNER: Employee Development Programs for Personal and Professional Growth

After celebrating our recent membership in the Climate Alliance Tyrol in our last #LEITfactsWednesday post, this week we focus on another critical aspect of our corporate culture - employee development. Introducing HTI College, our in-house training program designed to elevate both personal and professional skills of our workforce.

Why Employee Development Matters in Retaining Talent

Employee retention and development are key concerns at HTI College. Multiple studies suggest that employees often leave their jobs due to lack of career growth opportunities within their current roles. In contrast, a comprehensive employee development program, coupled with a supportive work environment and leadership recognition, can significantly strengthen employee engagement and loyalty.

13 Years of Empowering Employees Through Lifelong Learning

As a part of the HTI Group (High Technology Industries) and LEITNER, we've been offering a broad spectrum of educational opportunities for over 13 years, aimed at fostering both personal and professional development.

Twice a year, our "4YOU" booklet is published, detailing a diverse training curriculum. Courses range from physical well-being activities such as yoga and swimming to wellness and mental health seminars like cooking and nutrition, extending to skills development workshops in public speaking, language proficiency, and software literacy.

Collaborative Curriculum Planning: Tailoring Programs to Employee Needs

Our Human Resources department actively engages with departments and employees to compile suggestions for the training programs. Employees are also welcomed to bring forth their ideas on new trends or skill areas they are interested in. These suggestions are evaluated, and a tailored program is developed to meet the evolving needs of our team.

The programs are open and free of charge to all employees in our Italian and Austrian subsidiaries, and can be attended after coordinating with one's direct supervisor.
