Learning and professional development
We conducted a major review of our learning and development program over the reporting period. The project was established to review our approach to learning and development and to make recommendations about how to improve the coordination, effectiveness and strategic focus of training activities currently delivered by each of our functional areas. It is planned to implement the new arrangements in the coming year.
Personal Development Scheme
ThePersonal Development Scheme is an element of our performance management regime and provides a structured process for staff and their supervisors to engage in an annual discussion about each staff member’s personal development needs. Identified training and development needs are incorporated into annual Individual Development Plans and form the basis of the core and non-core courses contained in the Learning and Development Calendar.
Other professional development opportunities
Staff are encouraged and supported to take responsibility for their own professional development through opportunities that are tailored to meet their specific training needs.
