𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋 As part of the annual Performance & Potential Process at KOSTAL, the Corporate Talent Development Team offers the so-called Empowerment Days. These provide an opportunity for people leaders, talents, and HR to network, learn about talent management at KOSTAL, and kick off their development plans. The pilot of this format was successfully launched last week at KBS in Budapest through the international collaboration of Márta Berzsenyi, Alina Serafimova and Anja Gollin. In addition to an information round with the HR team, the Empowerment Days included two full-day workshops for people leaders and for high potentials. Both groups could delve deeper into the ELI Talents process and the available development offers, as well as clarify open questions. The talents could reflect on their objectives, strengths, and blockers, while the people leaders focused on their role in the process and the next steps. And of course, we aimed to give the participants a fun experience with a chance to exchange experiences and network – in order to start the development phase full of energy! Thanks to everyone who made the Empowerment Days a success! #KOSTAL #development #ELI

Last week, we hosted our first Values & Wellbeing Days at KOSTAL Hungary, a special event dedicated to celebrating and reinforcing the core values that define who we are as a company. It was an enriching experience that brought us closer together, reminded us of our shared goals, and emphasized the importance of wellbeing in our workplace. Our company values are the cornerstone of our culture and operations. They guide our actions, shape our interactions, and drive our success. Over the course of Values & Wellbeing Days, we explored these values through a series of engaging activities and discussions designed to deepen our understanding and commitment. We started the event with a Townhall meeting on the values, where we also rewarded our colleagues who achieved extraordinary performance regarding our core values in the last months. Our colleagues could take part in a Value-Activity – the classic activity game spiced up with KOSTAL Values. We also launched our ’Thank you card’ system – a selection of thank you cards are available for the colleagues. These cards are intended to help us recognize and appreciate each other’s hard work and contributions. These cards are paper-based, so human touch can also come to the fore. In addition to celebrating our values, we dedicated time to wellbeing activities, acknowledging that a healthy, happy team is essential for our collective success. We have several colleagues who, in their free time, indulge in hobbies that they have now had the opportunity to show off, including office stretching, relaxation and chi-kung. These sessions were all held by our own colleagues for those interested. In addition, our staff also took part in various presentations and health screenings. Values & Wellbeing Days were a successful event, reinforcing our commitment to our core values and the wellbeing of our team. The insights gained and the bonds strengthened during this event will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on our workplace culture. #weareKOSTAL #KOSTAL #companyvalues
