We encourage our employees to actively engage in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities to facilitate lifelong learning and career growth. This includes attending industry conferences to stay updated with the latest trends, participating in one-on-one or team mentorship programmes to share and gain knowledge, and attending internal workshops designed to enhance skills and competencies. By embracing CPD, our employees can continually develop their expertise, stay competitive in their fields, and contribute to our organisation’s success.
Every year, you will be set meaningful objectives that directly link to your development and learning goals. This process is complemented by career-enhancing conversations with your manager, where you can discuss your progress, identify areas for growth, and align your career aspirations with the organisation’s goals. These reviews not only help in setting clear, actionable objectives but also provide an opportunity to receive valuable feedback and support, ensuring you have a structured path to achieve your professional development.
