Development opportunities
Development opportunities
Strengthening strengths
At RATIONAL we believe in 'strengthening strengths', which is why we see every employee as a talent. Regular development meetings and a wide range of training opportunities are available to help you on your way to becoming a U.i.U. (entrepreneur within the company). Managers and the People team are on hand to provide advice and support.
Internal further training at the RATIONAL Campus
A company is only as good as its people. That's why we have RATIONAL Campus, which offers more than 190 freely bookable courses in up to seven languages. These include e-learning, webinars, live and online training and podcasts. The range is constantly growing and includes topics such as
- Project management
- Self-management and teamwork
- Personal development
- Product training
- Technical training
- Management training
External training
Regular assessments of your strengths and potential and a wide range of training and development opportunities are an integral part of our culture. Whether it's internal training, special programmes for managers or advanced professional qualifications, we can help you grow and take on new challenges. As part of our business strategy, we support your development through cost sharing, performance bonuses and/or flexible working arrangements.
At RATIONAL, customer benefit is our top priority. Everything we do serves a single purpose: To make work in professional kitchens easier and at the same time improve the results. This has been our recipe for success for over 50 years.
Focussing on the essentials
We believe that to be successful you have to concentrate on one thing. That is why RATIONAL has concentrated on hot food preparation and is only found in professional kitchens. This allows us to apply our expertise in a targeted manner.
Entrepreneur within the company
The principle of the entrepreneur within the company (U.i.U.): Everyone works hard in their own area, with an eye for the big picture and a strong sense of responsibility. This creates creative freedom.
Sustainability: Part of our DNA for 50 years.
Our sustainability strategy is based on the guiding principle 'We want to be a company that people want us to be'. And we have set our climate target: We will be greenhouse gas neutral by 2050. And what else? A lot is also happening on the ground.
Cooking with a combi-steamer is more environmentally friendly than preparing food with conventional kitchen appliances. An iVario, for example, saves up to 40% energy. And all iCombi Pro models have been awarded the EnergyStar, a globally recognised standard. Green electricity, photovoltaics, climate-friendly buildings and many other initiatives demonstrate our commitment to the environment.
RATIONAL is an open-minded company. This is reflected in the diverse composition of our workforce, in our work to integrate refugees and in the numerous awards we have received as an employer. Because for us, there is only one thing that counts: The desire to be part of the community.
Customer satisfaction surveys, the promotion of young talent and, above all, measurable sustainability targets and their consistent monitoring show that we take our responsibility to society seriously. And we do so willingly and with commitment. Whether it’s about healthy eating or human rights.
