Bayer Group is rolling out a transformative new operating model called "Dynamic Shared Ownership" (DSO) to significantly enhance agility and operational efficiency within the organization. Key aspects of this change include:
- Reduction of Hierarchies: DSO aims to streamline management layers, reducing bureaucracy and accelerating decision-making processes.
- Employee Security and Job Cuts: Despite the restructuring, which includes targeted job reductions primarily affecting managerial roles, Bayer has guaranteed no compulsory redundancies until the end of 2026. Employees affected by job cuts are offered severance packages and support to find new employment.
- Employee Involvement: The model promotes increased inclusivity in strategic decisions, ensuring all employees have a voice in shaping the company’s future.
- Future Skills Development: Initiatives like the “Future Skills Academy” are part of the plan to prepare employees for future demands by enhancing relevant skills.
