The long-term success of a company hinges on successful personnel development. Therefore, strategic consistent Human Resources Management is one of ista's principles. We offer our employees a wide variety of opportunities of showing and developing their individuality and personal strengths to best advantage in their jobs.

Even before their first day at work all new colleagues receive a welcome folder with current information about the company and their job familiarisation period. We work out individual, structured job familiarisation plans for every new colleague. In addition, we place a mentor at your side. This way we can ensure that new colleagues get to know the organisation, workflows and their tasks in the shortest possible time. All new staff get to know each other and ista at the ista base camp; the job familiarisation phase is rounded off by regular feedback talks with the recruit's supervisor.

One focus of our personnel development work is specialised training courses for sales, service, billing and technical support staff. We offer training programmes for new recruits as well as further training courses specially designed to aid the use of new tools and processes. This way we ensure uniform quality standards and systematically enable qualify our employees to gain top qualifications.

Staff interviews are held regularly so as to give every employee the chance to develop individually. During these interviews, the employee and his/her supervisor give each other feedback and agree tasks and plans as well as how to achieve them.

In addition, we identify possible candidates as successors for managerial posts in extensive potential analysis processes. We then prepare these candidates for the new positions using a variety of development measures. This guarantees that they are optimally prepared to take on managerial tasks in future and ensures availability of in-house successors for managerial posts.

The further development of our managerial staff is also a central element of our personnel development work. Therefore, we offer our managers and candidates with the right development potential a wide range of programmes and individually tailored training courses.
