Training and Development

Aberdeen staff receive continual training to boost their expertise and reach their full potential

Training and development benefits our business and our people. That’s why we’re committed to creating training and development opportunities for all staff at Aberdeen, and making sure everyone has an equal chance to access them.

As well as encouraging team spirit, training helps staff:

• Improve their performance
• Share ideas and disseminate good practice
• Gain an advanced understanding of Aberdeen’s business
• Improve motivation through job satisfaction

Our approach to training and development

We believe training and development is a continuous process. Our staff take part in development activities throughout their working lives, and pro-actively keep up with developments in their own area of expertise.

Senior management are responsible for encouraging training and development, and we monitor and evaluate what’s available regularly so we can provide first-class training at all times.

Evaluating our staff

We operate a group-wide performance appraisal system in which all areas of the business participate. This is made up of four main elements:

• Job descriptions
• Appraisals
• Competencies
• CPD

Our staff can also use their appraisal meetings to make suggestions for development.
