Investing in our people
Whether you join us as a trainee, a
senior director or anything in between, we’re committed to your
development before you even start. That’s why we invite you to a
number of corporate induction days to introduce you to our business
and to meet the team of senior managers.
Your line manager will work with you to design
your unique Personal Development Plan, and with regular 1:2:1
meetings we work together to look at your progress every four to
six weeks. In addition, 80 per cent of people here say they
regularly attend team meetings and are kept well informed of the
business matters at hand.
Across the organisation, we invest half a
million pounds a year in training. We run our own very successful
management development programme, to harness the full potential of
prospective leaders. We also run a mentoring scheme to provide
guidance, encouragement and inspiration at every stage of our
employees’ careers. As part of our commitment to investing in our
people, each vacancy is advertised internally across the business.
40 per cent of those jobs go to existing employees; some moves
are internal promotions, whilst others are a chance to try
something new, and because we’re committed to growing our own we’ll
support you every step of the way.
