The Hempel Talent Programme

At the start of Explorer I, you are asked to take a personality test. You then receive individual feedback from your talent programme coach. A few months later, you take part in an intensive training week at our headquarters in Denmark, covering the following topics:

• Financial understanding and accountabilit
• Company law, contracts and competition compliance
• Communication and cross-cultural awareness
• Change management
• Project management (intro)

On the last day of the week, you get information about a project assigned to you. This project will be your responsibility, and you are must present the results to regional management on a pre-defined date.

After the training, you will also take a 360 test, a test where you are assessed by your manager, colleagues, direct reports and/or customers as well as yourself on a specific set of competences . The results of this test, along  with the results of the personality test and observations during the training, form the basis for a number of individual Development Follow-up sessions with your coach.

Based on what we have seen on Explorer I, you’ll be invited to take part in Explorer II or asked to continue your development work in a more regional setting.

On Explorer II, you’ll take part in another week of training at our headquarters in Denmark, this time covering the following topics:

• Case study/project work: putting Explorer I into action
• Personal branding: selling your ideas and selling yourself
• Everyday innovations: mindset, environment, actions and tools
• Leadership styles: choosing the right style based on how you want to impact the organisation

On the last day, you’ll be divided into learning groups so you can continue your development work together.
