Besides this, the AGCO provides its employees with programs that aid their professional and personal development so that they can progress in their careers as well as their well-being.
The AGCO CEO and Registrar, Dr. Karin Schnarr, stated the following about their people-first approach.
“A people-first organization involves being innovative, proactive, inclusive and socially responsible. It’s making sure people feel comfortable here so they can voice their opinions and thrive with excellence.”
