Morten Holpert, Plant Manager of Holcim Germany's Lägerdorf Plant
Morten Holpert, Plant Manager of Holcim Germany's Lägerdorf Plant

For Morten Holpert, like many other Holcim employees, it all began with the “cement course”. Such a technical flagship course on cement production brings together new recruits from all over the world. Apart from the training content, the most important aspect is “networking”.

"The fact that Holcim continuously defines transferable standards and tools for basic and advanced training is very useful. These learning programs develop a common understanding throughout the Group."

Morten Holpert, who is currently plant manager at Lägerdorf in North Germany, has already got to know the Holcim world in a wide range of countries. For example, in connection with the implementation of maintenance concepts in Lebanon and Egypt, or as a coach in the Czech Republic.

"I benefited a great deal from the Senior Management Program. My short period at IMD in Lausanne taught me a lot and was very interesting."

Contacts established at these events are often maintained over many years. Further meetings at other seminars and in many different stages in people’s careers sometimes occur by chance, but sometimes they are almost “planned in advance”. This is because Holcim backs teamwork throughout the Group.

"Later, at our regular engineers’ meetings at the Lägerdorf plant, I was in a very good position to pass on a few case studies from Lausanne. It was also very well received by our managerial staff."

Training content and training stages are discussed together. Personal location decisions mean that our employees can continuously expand their potential and redefine their areas of work. This always presupposes that they have a greater-than-average willingness to learn and the flexibility needed to spend time abroad.
