A commitment to talent development
We are dedicated to recruiting and nurturing talent from diverse communities, investing in a learning and development program for our people that balance technical and behavioural training to foster business growth, enhance customer service and bolster our competitive edge.
We recruit and nurture talent from diverse communities, offering progression routes that allow all our people to realise their potential. This commitment to diversity and inclusion is not just a statement; it’s a core value we live by.
Our commitment to talent development is not just a short-term investment; it’s a testament to our dedication to long-term success. Over the past three years, we have invested substantially in a Group-wide learning and development program to work towards closing the automotive sector skills gap.
This program provides a balanced mix of technical and behavioural training, fosters business growth, enhances customer service, and bolsters our competitive edge.
We engage with our people to develop a personalised learning and skill development approach. This gives dedicated attention to their personal growth and builds the right skills at the right time to meet organisational objectives.
In-house training
Most of our training is conducted in-house by our trainers. This is more cost-effective and offers many benefits, including customising training according to our needs. We believe that training in-house brings our people together, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation.
144 courses to support self-directed learning
34 short courses facilitated by internal trainers
87,000 hours of training provided in FY2024
We run an annual employee engagement survey to evaluate our approach’s success and identify improvement opportunities. In this annual engagement survey, our people recognised our investment in a company-wide learning and development program. 74% of our people now believe their manager encourages and supports their personal development and career aspirations, an increase of 4ppt from 2022.
