Global Talent Hub

Networking and career development at Group level

headcount

The Global Talent Hub serves as a platform for high potentials at Deutsche Telekom which helps them develop into a leadership role or toward the next level – directly or with a step in between. It is both an incubator as well as a launchpad that gives talents visibility at the Group level, connects them with relevant business leaders across segments, and helps accelerate their careers to become key players in the future. To join the Global Talent Hub the high potentials have to meet certain criteria – the four As (achievements, ability, attitude, and ambition). They should also be ready and willing to immediately broaden their horizons with their next career move, for example by transferring to another segment, country, or business area, as well as proving their ability to express themselves fluently in English on business topics.

In 2024, the Global Talent Hub placed over 110 talents in new positions, 69 of which were leadership positions. This corresponds to 25 percent of all leadership roles that were filled. Deutsche Telekom’s fundamental USP is that it is a global company, irrespective of segment locations. This is reflected by the fact that 31 percent of leadership roles that were filled were cross-segment. To help the talents network and increase their visibility among each other and within the company, Deutsche Telekom organized a one-day in-person conference for global talents and business leaders, giving them the opportunity to get to know each other better and to network. In Spring 2024, Deutsche Telekom hosted the first cross-company Magenta exchange program with global talents from Deutsche Telekom and leaders from T‑Mobile US.
