"Knowledge and experience: ability to distinguish"
In today’s business the focus is more and more on solutions and not so much on mere products. Solutions which indeed combine different products, but for which additional service, knowledge and experience are at the very least equally important.
Besides quality and reliability, our knowledge and experience are the main factors which separate us from other providers. That means that you together with your colleagues form the basis for our ability to distinguish.
We want to fully utilize this ability. That means we invest in employees and in their working environment, but it also means merging different organizations. By joining organizations together we can make optimal use of knowledge, expertise and experience which enables us to optimize our services to our customers. Add the investments in new technologies and it will be clear that our portfolio will only become more complete.
An even more complete portfolio of services means higher expectations. At all times do we want to meet these expectations and if possible exceed them.
That can only be achieved by investing in you: by maintaining your level of knowledge and competences and even developing a higher level. Developing expertise and competences is a journey, but it always starts with the first step. Yokogawa will coach you with every step in your development. With training, education and a challenging career development program.

"Career Development becomes custom-made"
International, reliable and innovative - qualities which are characteristic for Yokogawa.
Qualities we strive for non-stop and which should also be the basis for our Human Resources Policy.
It means a challenge for our (European) HR Management; a challenge to offer career development to employees in such a way that one can follow their personal and individual career path. Or in short: Career Development becomes custom-made!
The fundament for this “career path-structure” has been laid. The end result will be a development program which will offer different career opportunities. Employees with managerial ambitions, a desire to become a specialist or international aspirations, which ambition it may be together we will make it concrete and make it happen.
These different career paths are not realized over night and the development will take place parallel with the internationalization of our job evaluation- and education methods.
Step by step your career development will take shape. Periodically there will be evaluation meetings to discuss your progress and which knowledge or competences should be further developed to realize your ambitions. And because of the international context of our development program it may well be anywhere in Europe where you will be given the opportunity to grow.
These new initiatives are of strategic importance for Yokogawa’s future. Yokogawa is one of the world leaders in industrial automation and control, test and measurement, information systems and industrial services. This position is not easily achieved and not easily kept. Coaching and development of our people will be a key factor not just today, but also in the future to maintain our position of a world leader and become number one!
