Talent cultivation as a top priority

As Porsche China has grown steadily since its entry into the Chinese mainland in 2001, the number of employees has been increasing over the past 20 years, reaching over 500 people. In 2021, the Individual Development Plan (IDP) was rolled out for emplyees to enhance the awareness of ‘You Drive Your Own Career Path’ and help them build solid career prospects. This is one of the most important functions of Porsche China’s human resource strategy which reflects the improvement of the talent cultivation mechanism and reinforces the achievements of current talent management.

People are the real engine

To further refine its corporate values, Porsche China has launched the Porsche Code to inspire the practices that truly reflect Porsche values, culture and behaviour, to implement the spirit of ‘People Are the Real Engine’ across four dimensions: Herzblut, Sportlichkeit, Pioniergeist, One Family. In addition, sustainability remains an integral part of Porsche's corporate development strategy. In October 2021, Porsche China led its employees to participate in the Porsche Virtual Run in Shanghai, joining Porsche colleagues around the world to raise funds for seriously ill children, in order to implement its future-oriented sustainability strategy and fulfil its social responsibility. The event is a strong embodiment of Porsche's advanced corporate culture as well as a demonstration of the social commitment required of a top employer.

After the milestone year of 2021, Porsche China is embarking on a new journey with all its employees in China. With the spirit of ‘People Are the Real Engine’ and commitment to becoming the most attractive employer, Porsche China will never cease in these efforts and will continue to take responsibility for providing a broad career path, while dedicating our passion to shaping a brighter future for both the company and the employees.
