We offer our people fantastic opportunities to be personally stretched and challenged. Yes, it's a big investment, but the business case is indisputable. If we are to continue our success and maintain our reputation in the market place our people must have outstanding skills.
We believe that we have developed one of the strongest learning and development packages you will find anywhere – a powerful combination of technical training, mentoring, skills-building programmes, development centres and milestone events which focus on celebrating promotions like becoming a new manager.
Whatever level you join KPMG at you can be sure of our superb learning and development opportunities, from graduate inductions to our Chairman's 25 programme for more senior high fliers. Also, as you pursue your goals, you can monitor your progress and obtain regular feedback with 'Dialogue', our global performance management system. It all adds up to the support you need to feel challenged and inspired at every stage of your career whether you're a graduate trainee, a new manager or a senior manager looking to become a partner.
What we offer is not only traditional classroom learning and experiential workshops, but also learning processes like self study, e-learning courses and last but not least on-the-job training by working with experienced KPMG professionals on tackling real client issues, in order to support the embedding of learnt skills and behaviours.
A few of our initiatives to help you meet your goals:
Dialogue is a global performance appraisal system to help you set your personal goals, plan and conduct ongoing performance reviews and manage your career.
Our global competence framework defines the responsibilities and personal attributes of our people at different levels of seniority. This means that your skills are measured in line with international standards, keeping you globally marketable.
Performance managers provide regular advice and support to help you meet your career objectives.
Mentors will be there to support you throughout your career and will be a valuable source of information on your pathway to success.
Continuous assessments will help to ensure that your personal progress is on track. Your performance partner will meet with you every six months to discuss and assess your on-the-job performance.
Our approach means that we don’t just grow well balanced professional – we build KPMG people for life. It is only through the growth and development of our people that we will realise our goals both as an organisation and as an individual.
