Uniwebersity

Being an efficient learning company is key for the success of Weber. Training knowledge sharing and networking are strategic priorities: our products travel little but expertise and ideas can easily cross borders!

Our main source of competitive advantages is our international reach and all the knowledge accumulated by 10,000 people in almost 50 countries. Ideas coming from all over the world can generate innovations – in products as well as in services – that fuel our Leadership Engine, which in turn will help us climb the curve of The Double Reward.

Uniwebersity is a major pillar to achieve this goal of sharing and learning.
Our mission

Uniwebersity aims to increase the collective knowledge of Weber, spreading quickly good ideas and useful practices, through the organisation of training sessions linked to the specific features of our business.
Our Goals

Unearth The Buried Treasure lying under our feet, make it available to the others and actively look into it in order to ensure The Winning Handover which is the sign of our collective success;

Offer to Weber managers a training programme to help them improve their competences and share good practices to develop our business;

Enable participants to:

identify processes and tools to help them implement new solutions when back to the office
enhance experience sharing and exchange of new ideas in successful business situations
build their own network of colleagues with whom they will be able to share in the future

Our Commitments

tackle very pragmatic Weber topics, well balanced between theory and experience;

use friendly and interactive pedagogic methods that allow an easy learning;

practise the use of key tools to favour a quick implementation;

create an environment that allows the active participation and easy integration of all people;

support the dissemination of the key contents of the Weber Development Model and the local implementation of our four routes to leadership.
Uniwebersity participants (UPs)

Uniwebersity courses are built for Weber managers or future managers from all business areas. When enrolled to a course, they commit to look for contacts with their colleagues, to listen to them, to ask questions and to bring their own experience.

All sessions are in English language to favour diversity and boost experience sharing between countries. As a consequence, in order to take full benefit of the sessions, UPs should be fluent in English.
Uniwebersity trainers (UTs)

The trainers are mainly members of the Weber federal team, with practical knowledge and real experience on the presented topics. In some cases, we also invite experienced Weber local managers or, exceptionally external experts.
Training design

very special attention is made to the balance between theory and real Weber situations. As a general rule, the distribution is as follows: 20% of concepts, 40% of Weber examples and 40% of experience sharing and networking.

The conception of each course is done by an ad hoc group of Weber people with real experience on the addressed topic.
