Thanks to this, new employees find their way in a new environment more quickly. Training and implementation Store Managers play a key role in the process of introducing new employees.

  • PMC – manager performance management process – evaluation system for employees in managerial positions.
  • MDR (Management Development Review) – a cyclical process of reviewing the potential of talent in the organization, supporting the internal succession process. As part of the process, individual employee development paths are built. From this year, MDR is supported by artificial intelligence tools. In 2024, over 5,500 people were covered by the MDR process in Biedronka.

The overarching goal of this development program is to build an environment of continuous improvement.

  • In my daily work, I see during training what path each employee goes through – from fears, through moments of discouragement due to the vast amount of knowledge, to the desire to develop and the motivation of "I want more".
    This induction is the most important stage for a newly hired employee, as it influences their further development and willingness to stay with us.
    Hania, Training and Implementation Store Manager

  • What's great about working at Biedronka is that if you give something more of yourself, it will be noticed and appreciated. That's why I'm here. I can develop myself by implementing interesting projects for Biedronka employees, using new technology and trying things that have not been known before.

    Oskar, Senior Digital Communication Specialist

  • Training and constant acquisition of experience are an inseparable element of my work. Both internal and external training on behalf of the company are an ideal opportunity to expand my competences. Complex training on legislation, quality aspects or those based on building mental resilience contribute to spreading my wings.

    Konrad, Specialist in Quality Development and Own Brand Control on Foreign Markets
  • I started my job at Biedronka as a salesperson-cashier. I used the promotion opportunities at 100% and went through all the positions, to finally become a store manager. Each promotion was preceded by training at a training and implementation store. The knowledge gained during the training is perfectly complemented by EduAkcja - our "knowledge base", which I personally love to use - there is a huge amount of additional training there and all the information we need gathered "in one pill".
    Basia, Store Manager

  • 20 years in one company is a merit of great people, as well as development opportunities. Currently, I participate in creating development processes and training. The pressure on development in Biedronka has always been strong, and in recent years it has reached its peak. In accordance with our values, we improve training programs and constantly verify the needs of employees.
