1. Is there a standardised onboarding process?

Your onboarding process is individual and tailored to the role and requirements of the RWE company in which you work. This is how we ensure that you can find into your role easily and take on responsibility as soon as possible.

2. Do I have some work or preparation to do before my first day?

You will receive all the information you need before your first day of work by email and/or in a telephone call.

3. Who should I contact if I have any questions?

In addition to your onboarding buddy, your manager and your team colleagues are available to answer any questions you may have – don't hesitate to contact them. For anything else, you can always contact the colleagues in the HR department.

4. What equipment will I get?

You will receive your equipment on your first day at work. The equipment you get is individual and therefore depends on your role and your tasks.

5. What does RWE expect of me during the onboarding process?

Be open, curious, communicative and, above all, be yourself. Dare to ask questions, get to know your new colleagues and their focus areas, and get an overview of the topics that make up your area of work.

6. What happens when the onboarding is complete?

We see the onboarding process as a continuous process with no predetermined end. Often, the buddy relationship continues beyond the first few months. Continue to connect with colleagues and find networks within RWE in which you feel comfortable.

“I couldn’t be happier with the onboarding process at RWE. From the outset I had the full support of HR and my team, which gave me a lot of confidence going forwards. My manager and colleagues established a strong pattern of communication that is still in place now and has shaped my onboarding process so far! I’m also looking forwards to the further insights I’ll gain into the company through the internal courses I have booked on how my team fits into the wider business, thanks guys!”
