Ich bin seit 2015 bei Z und bei uns im Haus für alle Themen rund um die Z-Akademie zuständig.
Neben der Organisation unterschiedlichster Seminare, Workshops und Events, ist die stetige Weiterentwicklung unseres Akademie-Angebots ein wesentliches Thema.
So zum Beispiel auch die Erweiterung unseres Programmes rund um die Themen Gesundheit, Fitness und persönliches Coaching.
Daneben betreue ich den Onboarding-Prozess für unsere neuen Kolleginnen und Kollegen in der Verwaltung, ***um ihnen den Einstieg bei Z bestmöglich zu gestalten***.
How would you translate the part in asterisks into American English?
