Success in New Markets With the Right Recipe

As one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of home appliances, we’re always on the move. Whether it’s innovative technologies, the latest work methods, exciting seminars or our involvement in the protection of natural resources. We have a lot of stories to tell. Here on our corporate blog these stories have their place. Have fun reading and discovering them!
Recently, we introduced BSH’s Global Graduate Accelerator – a program for young talents with learning opportunities, mentorship, a stay abroad and an unlimited contract with BSH. After Jennifer’s introduction of the program and Andrea’s experience abroad, we now want to share Oliver Glardon’s story. Having finished the program this year, Oliver gathered experience in his focus areas IT, Digital & Strategy and completed the GGA’s Business Challenge. Discover how Oliver mastered the challenge with his fellow Graduates and how mentorship and networking helped him hone his hard and soft skills further.
As Europe's No. 1 home appliances innovator, BSH tries to reduce the environmental footprint in all areas of the value chain. That includes the use of resources, emissions, and energy consumption because every aspect of business is worthy of a review of its environmental compatibility and improvement on our path to reaching new climate goals. This aim of course affects the technician service too, so when the diesel vans of BSH Sweden started to expire in the beginning of 2021, the service team got the chance to choose Toyota as a supplier for the technician service and electric vans suddenly became a reality.
Extraordinary learning opportunities, mentorship, a stay abroad and an unlimited contract with BSH – the 12-month-long Global Graduate Accelerator program aims to foster young talents. Working in diverse teams and different areas of BSH, the Graduates can collect a variety of impressions together with peers and their mentors. Today, we want to share Andrea García Aldrett’s experience with the program and how her Mexican heritage helped her to connect with the people and culture of Paris, France, where she absolved her stay abroad.
Finding solutions in teamwork can be hard without an established feedback culture. That’s why, lately, this term developed into a corporate buzzword; but what does it actually mean? BSH sees feedback culture as a strategy that incorporates not only dialog within a team, but also concerns other levels of interaction within the company. So, in which ways does BSH foster its feedback culture? We asked Christina Hilgers, Inmaculada Perez Muñoz and Keqing Lin, who are part of BSH’s Feedback Team within the Global HR department Employer of Choice, to share their insights and experiences with us.
Given the huge number of home appliances that are already available in all global markets, wanting to create an unprecedented appliance innovation, is quite a challenge. A challenge, which BSH’s Business Development Team mastered by thinking outside the box and thereby transforming the classic kitchen area. Learn more about the unique BSH innovation and find out how it came about!
To foster young talents, BSH offers opportunities like the Global Graduate Accelerator (short: GGA) – a 12-month program for recent graduates, designed to discover BSH and yourself with a focus on experience-based learning. To give them security, the participants also get an unlimited contract at BSH. By working in diverse teams and departments in Germany and abroad, BSH provides extraordinary learning and networking opportunities for young employees to discover their passions and talents. Today, we want to introduce Jennifer Deuber, who finished the program in the area of Business Administration one year ago. We asked her about the experiences she made in Germany and Stockholm during the program and how it helped ignite her passion for organizing and analyzing data.
People looking for ways to make their household routines a little more sustainable often end up going for the obvious: appliances that help save water and energy. But thanks to its new products and services, BSH now offers a host of other ways to help consumers reduce their carbon footprint. At IFA, we showcased the world of possibilities out there already.
Among the line-up of fantastic speakers of the Diversity Week at BSH is Maria Wünn who works in Site Communications in Traunreut, Germany and is a passionate stadium moderator and referee in biathlon. We savored the chance to talk with Maria about diversity in sports in comparison to diversity in the corporate world and what the people from these two worlds can learn from each other.
