Career Development
APM Terminals’ will help you become the master of your own development. We offer some of the best learning tools and training programs within the industry. We also partner with leading professionals, run top talent programs and develop leaders to be role models.
APM Terminals “MyCareer” career framework is a system that creates clarity and transparency, it enables employees to make conscious career choices.
The framework, shared by all business units and Group functions, defines a long-term successful career as a match between what the employee is passionate about, what he or she is good at and what the business needs. The goal is to support every employee in building a successful career, while at the same time guaranteeing the talent pipeline within the Maersk Group.
“One of the advantages of being a conglomerate is that we can offer employees a career path that goes beyond their individual business units, and stretches into the wider spectrum of industries in which we operate,” says Group Head of HR Lucien Alziari. “The new job catalogue will help employees see all the opportunities listed.
MyCareer provides a shared career philosophy for all of the Group’s business units, aligned their job ranking systems and created an overview of opportunities across the Group. It also facilitated a structured approach to career discussions with managers. Alziari stresses the fact that it still is up to every single employee to manage his or her career.
“It is your career, and it is your responsibility to choose where to take it,” he says. “We provide you with the tools to make conscious career choices – but you are in the driver’s seat.”
International mobility
Our company has a culture and tradition of sending employees to different countries around the globe. We believe that it is beneficial for employees and our organization to share cross border experiences and therefore encourage employee mobility through expatriation.
We have a global job portal, which enables you to search current job openings around the world, across all of the companies with the Maersk Group.
Our Global Mobility Policy (GMP) has existed for more than a decade and is the governing policy for all expatriate assignments in APM Terminals. The aim of the GMP is to provide a structured framework around the expatriation process that facilitates healthy rotation, fair remuneration, and responsible investment in our resources. This, while also ensuring a positive international experience for the employee and accompanying family members.
Global Benefits
Under the Global Mobility Policy there are certain global benefits that apply to expatriates by way of medical insurance, savings plan, and spouse support. We also send people on Short-term Assignments (STA) for a period of between 1 and 6 months. These may be related to projects, but could also be for personal development purposes.
