In the modern competitive environment, we know that you need to freshen up your knowledge and acquire new skills to do your job better. We want you to feel confident about improving efficiency and productivity, as well as finding new ways towards personal development and success.
Team members and managers should all collaborate to build a continuous professional development culture. It’s, therefore, a team member’s responsibility to seek new learning opportunities, but it’s also a manager’s responsibility to coach their teams and identify their team members’ development needs.
As we all have different interests and skills to develop: how to offer a solution that fits everyone?
We all have different constraints and realities. So why not offer time?
That's our solution: time allocated for your continuous improvement. No approval required, no limitation on topics. We trust you. We want to keep it in our image: flexible. Obviously, it must be for the development of professional skills. We're not talking about taking scuba diving lessons here. 😉
The reasoning behind this is to ensure that improvement is 'continuous', that it is aligned with people's interests, so that as many people as possible benefit from it and above all that it lasts. This contributes directly to the need for competence and the need for autonomy.
