Growth will also come with its set of challenges. In the next five years Bosch expects stiffer competition for its market lead position in all its business fields. It will rise to the challenge by continuing to invest in innovation and technology, and expanding its Malaysian footprint to tap on new segments in the now mature local market. With competitive labour within the country, Bosch is promoting initiatives such as work-life balance, training and career development and diversity at workplaces.

Bosch provides competitive employment packages which include staff benefits, career development programmes and training opportunities. Benefits include flexi hours, the possibility of working from home and/or in a new generation workplace, which allow associates to strike a work-life balance.

Bosch also has several training programmes which are tailor-made for associates who are striving to achieve their career aspirations. Human capacity development also ensures the provision of programmes for new graduates, such as internships and the Junior Manager’s Programme in which trainees will have the opportunity to work in various divisions and will be given at least one opportunity to work abroad.

Bosch believes that being an industry champion means a company can and must develop and launch innovative and high quality products and solutions. Industry champions need to cultivate an inclusive and long-term oriented company culture which hires and develops talent who then help to take joint responsibility of the community in which the company operates in.

As models of good governance, Bosch believes in process oriented management, continuous improvement of process, a strict compliance practice, and responsible and ethical business conduct.
