Talent and skills
To better recruit, retain and develop talented people, we endeavour to engage our employees and to achieve a more inclusive workplace and diverse workforce, reflecting the composition of the communities in which we operate. Our goal is to be seen as an employer of choice across all communities.
Talent development continues to be a critical lever for successful business performance. During the past year, we completed the development of our leadership transitions strategy. In 2008, 'Developing Future Leaders' was created for senior leaders, in 2009, 'Foudations of Leadership' was created for front line or first time leaders and in 2010, we launched two programmes targeted at middle level leaders focused on their leadership style and business acumen. Middle managers also have access to a suite of solutions that can be used to customise a curriculum for their unique needs.
To accommodate year on year growth in technical training needs in both the UK and US, significant investments have been made in expanding the Eakring, Nottinghamshire and Millbury, Massachusetts learning centres.
We have incorporated cutting edge technology into our learning strategy to accommodate diverse learning styles and manage costs. This includes 3D technology, eLearning modules, online assessments, SmartBoards and virtual classrooms.
