A new ‘Spin’ on mobility benefits

Employee benefits come in all shapes and sizes, generally conforming to the ‘take it or leave it’ option. Sometimes, however, this one size-fits-all approach fails to truly deliver, as people’s lives are shaped by individual priorities and interests. With this in mind, the Bruker team in Antwerp, Belgium, has designed a new sustainable mobility benefit like no other

Promoting Harmony and Confidence through Internal Leadership Training

Strong teams of experts comprising talented individuals armed with complex technical knowledge are valuable assets to any company. Managers, however, need more; they also need people skills if they are to manage effectively. When we at Bruker realized that we could do more to support our managers, we initiated a training program that would enable them to lead others with confidence.

Shaping the Outcome of Change

The COVID-19 pandemic has starkly demonstrated the world’s volatility and the ensuing havoc that can rapidly be caused. All too often, it takes a crisis or an unexpected disruption to the daily routine to highlight weaknesses lying just beneath the surface. A company’s strategy is no different. During such times of uncertainty and ambiguity, those business that can respond quickly and cohesively stand a stronger chance of surviving.

Bruker’s Apprenticeship Program – Learning by Doing

For some people, career choices are clear from an early age. Take Dominik Zehnder, one of the current crop of apprentices at our NMR Center of Excellence in Fällanden, Switzerland, for example. As a young teenager Dominik was building radio-controlled model cars, and a technical vocation was clearly calling.

Bruker’s Apprenticeship Program - A View from Within

Choosing a career is rarely a straightforward affair. Young people, who have little experience of the working world are expected to make a momentous decision based on very little knowledge. Unless they have a firm ‘calling’ to a certain profession, how can they really know whether the career they think they want will meet their expectations?

Bruker’s Apprenticeship Program - Designing for the Future

In Switzerland (as in Germany where Bruker also runs a successful apprenticeship program) the choice to move from school to an apprenticeship rather than progress into full-time study is a popular option. Most professions can be learned in this way - and completing an apprenticeship is an important stage in being considered a 'Meister' or master of your chosen career.
