Our People – A Culture of Innovation and Development

Training and Education

The METTLER TOLEDO workforce is highly trained and technically skilled. To foster continuous development of our capabilities, we have a strong history of training and development. We conduct internal and external training programs, job rotation, international assignments, project work, and “on the job coaching.” Our corporate culture is built on personal initiative and provides employees with the freedom to innovate and develop new ideas. 

Our group training and development approach complements local and business-specific training offerings with an increasing array of global opportunities. In addition to developing technical competencies, we offer many other development areas, which contribute to a holistic development of our workforce. Examples include sales skills, customer relationships, personal effectiveness, project management, change management, compliance, and leadership. In 2010 our employees took part in over 17,000 classroom, e-learning, and virtual training activities, and we are actively expanding the scope of our global Learning Management System, an electronic e-learning platform. 
 
In addition, we also provide trainings and seminars for customers and other interested parties.

Career Development

We have apprenticeship programs for young adults as well as trainee programs for young graduates across the world. In the United States, for example, our Initial Career Experience (ICE) Program offers recent engineering, marketing, and finance graduates the opportunity to experience multiple assignments throughout the METTLER TOLEDO organization, customized and tailored to a graduate’s specific skills and interests. This type of program builds loyalty amongst our employees, and allows us to cross-train employees in a variety of disciplines.
