A high degree of importance is attached to regular compliance seminars for employees, which are conducted as on-site events, as well as via web-based training courses. By presenting various training topics, in particular on corruption, antitrust and competition law, health care compliance and the Code of Conduct, they serve to sensitize employees and management to the consequences of compliance violations and to show ways to avoid them. In the reporting period, numerous on-site events and around 11,000 and 33,000 web-based training courses were held worldwide in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
