Our ability to deliver top quality products and services to
customers depends on the quality and skills of our staff. We are
therefore committed to providing extensive training and development
opportunities for our staff to equip them with the skills to
operate professionally and efficiently wherever they work in the
group.
Induction
All new staff on joining the group are offered an induction
programme to help them get to know the business, find their way
around the organisation and understand where they, and their role,
fits in the wider organisation.
Job related
Training for specific tasks and acquiring skills and competencies
is a continuous process. This is done through a combination of
on-the-job experience, formal training courses (both internal and
external), involvement in project work and rotation between
different types of work. As teamwork is important in our
organisation staff are also involved in out-door team training and
team building courses to develop inter-personal skills.
Study Support
Staff are encouraged to pursue further studies relevant to their
career in financial services. Course and exam fees for recognised
qualifications are paid for and study assistance provided.
Refundable staff loans are available to pursue relevant third level
qualifications.
Professional Trainee Schemes
The group operates a number of special trainee programmes for
Accountancy and Actuarial. These programmes are open to school
leavers and graduates. Successful applicants combine on-the-job
experience in a relevant area with study for their professional
qualification. They enjoy full salary, generous study leave and
exam fees and associated costs are paid for.
