The Regional Talent Programme (RTP) runs its 5th year and more than 350 participants across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) have completed their development journey successfully. The mission is to aspire to cultivate local talents within a regional network and foster a strong customer perspective, enabling them to effectively lead and inspire our ever-evolving organisation.
What makes Kuehne+Nagel a unique place to work, is the progress and opportunities you will have to enhance and accelerate your career. We are committed to developing our employees. Your development is paramount to us, and we will empower you to own your career.
What is the EMEA Regional Talent Programme?
The programme is an international development opportunity for our key employees, which focuses on providing a set of transformational leadership skills and working on the delivery of strategic-related goals. The programme lasts 10 months during which participants have an opportunity to participate in 4 learning modules with a focus on Employee and Customer Experience which is in line with our Roadmap 2026, upskilling Finance background, and of course work on project assignments within smaller teams on the company-related goals for Market Potential and Living ESG.
What are benefits of joining this programme?
The programme is beneficial for both sides since it covers needs in the constant development of our employees and provides the opportunity to grow internal experts/leaders with a strong knowledge of the Kuehne+Nagel business. Also, we can define the following benefits of the programme: • Involve more levels of experts and leaders in our organisation in the implementation and execution of the Roadmap 2026. • Develop new skills which are essential for the future. • Build bridges and promote collaboration across units, borders, and cultures within one strong European and Middle East African network. • Further progress in your career in your country's organisation. Past participants have shown pride in being part of such a prestigious development programme. They highlighted that they already started to use knowledge and skills received during the learning journey and changed the approach to some processes. We have received positive feedbacks, and we are happy to share some of them with you.

“Being part of RTP gave me the opportunity to connect and learn more about our own people. Seeing how each one of us brought a different background and perspective but also how we reacted differently to the proposed challenges was a master class to me. The highlight of the programme, besides presenting our project in Berlin, was really seeing my own self development in terms of engagement and communication, noticing the change in my behavior and realizing is not just for the best but also the outcome of it (as closing a business) improved my confidence and made me feel even more prepared for the next steps!”

“The RTP let me get to know another part of the Kuehne+Nagel world. Especially as a member of IT, it is always helpful to meet and understand the other divisions of the company. It makes me even more a part of Kuehne+Nagel. Getting to know colleagues who are far away from my daily work and yet pursue the same goal, use the same tools but everyone brings their own perspective and a different focus - that's fascinating and reminds you of how diverse we are at our company. It is a very good way to familiarise oneself with a new subject and to realise that everyone in the team has strengths that help to achieve the common goal.”

“Want to broaden your network, run a project outside of your day-to-day tasks and personally and professionally grow? Then the RTP EMEA is for you. I grew much closer to so many diverse colleagues, giving me more access to the knowledge within Kuehne+Nagel and potential future career opportunities! I loved the project work- I learned something completely new and our results gathered wide-spread interest. Assessments & trainings taught me my strengths and development areas- as a leader and as a person. And finally, the organisation of the RTP is top-notch, due to a dedicated and wonderful HR team. Thanks Team!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend taking part in the RTP programme to further your growth and success at Kuehne+Nagel. It truly is a fantastic opportunity to interact and network with colleagues from various regions. This programme is not an easy ride; it requires effort and dedication on your part. However, the rewards, both in terms of professional and personal development, make it all worthwhile. Personally, the highlight of the programme for me was the opportunity to build and develop a highly functioning project team. The programme emphasized the importance of leveraging individual strengths within a team and how the collective effort is greater than the sum of its parts. This approach gave me the confidence that our team could tackle even the most challenging projects and succeed.”
