Internal career opportunities

Internal workforce mobility is an integral part of our HR strategy. We offer employees activities, tools, and resources to support vertical career growth and horizontal career moves. We listen to your needs and support you as you broaden and enrich your current skills and job scope, downshift into a position with less responsibility, or make a career change.

Individual development plan

Our tools help you target and structure your professional development aspirations. With GfK, you can define the pace and direction in alignment with your manager to reach your short and mid-term career goals, while strengthening your current job performance.
