At Lidl we give our employees the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. One way to do so is expanding your knowledge on an international level. Therefore, we at Lidl have established global development and deployment opportunities as international Job rotations or expert secondments for our employees. 

International Job Rotation

With our international growth, it is becoming more and more important for our employees to gain deeper insights into other countries and cultures and to build a strong international network. In the future, we don't just want to grow individually, we want to grow together, as one big team. To develop our talents internationally in the best possible way is essential to us. Therefore our International Job Rotation is a great opportunity for our employees to experience Lidl from a different perspective and to expand their knowledge. 

Our International Job Rotation Program is designed for employees that match specific criteria.

Another international development program at Lidl is the Expert Secondment. Within this Program employees are given the opportunity to work abroad for a limited period of time and then return to their home country. Depending on the objective of the assignment, the focus may be on the personal or professional development of the employee, the support of a project or the temporary filling of a vacant position.
