We have a very active and extremely comprehensive staff training programme. We know from the Healthcare Communications Association annual benchmarking exercise, which compares agencies across a number of different parameters, that we spend at least double per head of staff on training.
We have a robust personal development process called STEPs; a bespoke and self-driven, competency-based personal development programme against which every member of staff monitors their development and which is used in every line manager meeting. The STEPs programme clearly outlines competencies that need to be achieved to gain promotion and our line managers are always there to help you achieve these.
There is always some kind of training happening at Packer Forbes. Whether it’s a quick one hour ‘Lunch and Learn’ with a senior team member, attendance at an external training course or simply on-the-job learning; we are totally committed to a learning culture.
New recruits have a thorough and tailored induction programme, which will quickly set-out any early training needs to support you in your probationary three months, after which formal objectives will be set and regularly reviewed.
