Training and development
We recognise that getting the right start is crucial to building a successful career. That's why we developed the Management Trainee Programme. During the Programme we take a constant interest in your progress, give regular feedback, support and resources you need, as well as review your performance to ensure you are on the right track.
We believe that our programme is one of the most comprehensive around. You’ll be provided with challenges to stretch your potential and learn. We give you an opportunity early in your career to show your best, bring your difference and make a positive impact on our business. You’ll be working in truly international matrix environment with virtual and diverse teams to help you to gain necessary skills.
The Management Trainee Programme is structured around the following components:
| Induction | Functional Development | Leadership & Managerial Development | Business Awareness | Performance Appraisal | Coaching & Mentoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Induction gives you an opportunity to learn about our company, objectives and products. | Developing a base of excellence in the function into which you have been recruited. | Developing leadership & managerial competencies essential to progress to senior roles. | Gaining an understanding of the overall business and the role played by each function in the company. | Giving you regular and constructive feedback, both formally and informally to ensure that you achieve your objective and are on the right track. | Helping you to achieve your best by bringing in new perspectives and challenges. |
Induction gives you an opportunity to learn about our Group objectives, products and markets. It introduces you to our corporate guiding principles and culture, as well as to the role of each function in the company.
Your functional development is a base of excellence in your chosen function. We will clearly explain what we expect from you and provide you with different exposures across the function to ensure you’ll get robust understanding of the basics. With support from your coach and your mentor, you’ll set your objectives and work towards achieving them in order to meet the needs of the business and your personal development objectives.
During the programme your development will be focused not only on functional but also on leadership & managerial skills necessary for your success. We’ll provide you with formal training, you’ll take part in functional or cross-functional projects. And you’ll have the opportunity to put these skills to practice in preparation for the move into your first management role.
We also expect you to develop business awareness, an understanding of the overall business and the role played by each function. In other words, we want you to understand the business beyond your own functional and geographical area of responsibility. We want you to challenge our existing ways of working and to bring positive change to our business.
We monitor your success through regular performance appraisal. We give you regular and constructive feedback, formally every 6 months and informally every 6 weeks. This ensures that you’re aware of the standards you should aim for, and also that we can tailor your development to your needs.
On your way through the programme you’ll be supported by your coach and mentor, who will be helping you unlock your potential and achieve your best. They will encourage you to take charge of your own development and also to bring in new perspective and add your difference.
