Short description:

The project deals with the transfer of the scientific concept of cultural fit into corporate practice via the format of continuing education. In short, cultural fit describes the fit in terms of behavior and values between employers and employees. It is aimed specifically at company employees with personnel responsibility from the district of Görlitz in order to support them in building a foundation for long-term, sustainable and mutually satisfying employee relations. It has been scientifically proven that effects such as good employee retention, higher job satisfaction, lower fluctuation, lower sick leave and the promotion of an innovative climate are possible with this concept. The special added value for the participants lies in the accompanied experimental phase. In this phase, the participants apply what they have learned in their own company, accompanied by mentors. This ensures a successful transfer.
