Recruitment – only the best
Competent, motivated employees are among Scania’s most important success factors. For this reason it is essential that recruiting is carried out in a professional, target-oriented manner. An active internal recruiting policy stimulates current employees to develop skills needed for new tasks, and opening job opportunities for others who seek new challenges. External recruiting provides an opportunity for presenting the company to the surrounding world, thus functioning as an important factor in increasing Scania’s ability to attract new employees.

Development of job and business competence
Developing employee competence is a necessary condition for Scania's success, which reversely is an essential condition for employee competence development. Scania employees are trained and skilled in areas of management, finance, administrative systems, laws and regulations, customer care, marketing, sales, business, and technical.

Competence development is integrated with the short and long-term needs of the organisation. Planning and development discussions are one part of competence planning. Such discussions are carried out at least once a year and result in an individual development plan with well defined objectives. Scania views learning as a proactive process, rather than just some passive information intake.

Management Planning
Management planning aims at ensuring management supply. Qualified management has a decisive influence on the organisation and forms the basis for Scania's continued success and development. For this reason, managers at all levels are responsible for the development of leadership and of core competencies in their organisation. Scania is an international company with an essential need for qualified leaders in every segment, all acting in accordance with Scania's core values. Successful recruiting founded on analysed needs and continuous competence development forms the basis for all management planning.
