About Siemens Mobility:

Siemens Mobility has been a leader in seamless, sustainable, reliable, and secure transport solutions for more than 160 years.

“As a leader in transport solutions, we shape connected mobility. The mobility environment is being shaped by three megatrends: climate change, population growth, and digitalization.

These trends demand seamless, sustainable, reliable, and secure mobility solutions to ensure a high quality of life for 9.6 billion people worldwide by 2050. And those people will aspire for seamless transportation from the first to the last mile. 

Digitalization is helping us to master these trends and continuously transform the way we travel. Therefore, we are constantly innovating our portfolio in our core areas: rolling stock, rail automation and electrification, intelligent traffic systems, related services, and turnkey projects – to shape the future of mobility.”

Key Takeaways:

• How Siemens Mobility has transitioned to the “New Normal”
• Establishing a culture of inclusivity and innovation 
• Attracting talent by making a global impact 
• Upskilling internally to fill future roles 

Quote:

“We truly do believe that resilience and relevance for the future is critical, because I honestly believe that the roles we have now are not the roles we're going to have in the future. And as more automation comes into our manufacturing processes, the employees who are administering or facilitating or making that process happen are going to have to have more skills to do that as well. So again, let's build the expectation now that you're required to learn and that it's going to be good and it's going to be beneficial, and hopefully that'll catch, but we're on that journey like others as well.” - Tami Wolownik
