Burning entertainment - training event 2022
Company, training, employees | | Created by Redaktion23 trainees are currently working at Loibl. In addition to construction and industrial mechanics, the company trains technical product designers, cutting machine operators and industrial clerks. The annual training event is all about bringing the first through fourth years together to form a community, a team. Without the usual competitive pressure or exclusion. The trainees receive support from the Loibl staff. But instead of just watching, the employees are actively involved in what's going on. "That's what it's all about, after all," says Tom Wagner, training manager at Loibl. "We're there for each other. We have each other's backs."
Friday at the bowling center. Just under thirty people enter the large arcade. Everyone makes a name tag - so as not to forget their own name in the excitement. "You might not have expected this," Arnd Benninghoff (Managing Director/CSO) begins the event, "but I started with an apprenticeship back then." His career path led him from an apprenticeship as a locksmith to a degree in engineering. "My training taught me to be diligent and to work consistently on the topics that are important to me."
Richard Stoiber (Managing Director/CFO) adds that the safety of the trainees is particularly close to his heart. "At Loibl, we work with heavy equipment. Our equipment is massive and is used all over the world. Therefore, always pay attention to what you are doing and what is happening around you." Franz Böhm, occupational safety specialist, gives a thumbs-up. He couldn't have said it better.
What am I like? Anyone can rattle off their name, age, educational background and hobbies. Not at Loibl. While the trainees wait for their food, they think of an adjective that best describes them. "Courageous" comes from Maurice, "tolerant" from Thomas. Training manager Tom Wagner introduces himself as "loyal," because he always stands by those who need him. Roman, on the other hand, makes everyone laugh: "I chose romantic because it contains my name and describes me pretty well."
Get up, fix your crown and let's go. After refreshments, everyone is fit for bowling. The groups are drawn by lot. Employees and trainees from all grades are thrown together in a colorful mix. After borrowing the shoes, it's time to hit the lanes. Everyone is nervous. The bowling shoes make it difficult to get started. Their soles are smooth and the floor is polished. More than once, someone slips and can barely keep their balance. But instead of laughing it off, they laugh with each other. With growing self-confidence, the trainees achieve more and more strikes. Competitive fever breaks out. Which group is better? Who will win? Everyone wants to improve. The employees give tips on the right swing technique.
A fiery match. "What's going on?" someone suddenly shouts. Smoke rises from one of the bowling machines. The volume level rises. "Is that thing on fire?" It does smell like burnt rubber. The owner of the machine hurries to put out the developing fire. "A bullet got caught," he growls. After a few minutes, the spit is over. "Not the first time," he adds, and he signals that play can continue. After the initial shock, no one cares about the score. First-year trainees high-five their fourth-year colleagues as if they've known each other forever. At the end of the event, Marketing Manager Lea Pfingsten hands out a small gift for all the participants and comments on their success with, "We were pretty hot on that one, weren't we?"
