Future-fit Capability Building: Talent Development Strategy
Our global talent strategy is designed to build a lasting legacy of leaders. We focus on boosting performance and sharpening leadership skills to help our people unlock their full potential. This happens through the right job experiences, opportunities to learn from others, and access to our global learning and development programs.
We strongly believe in fostering a coaching culture. Training and development work best when they’re tied closely to everyday tasks. Coaching is our key approach to growing leaders at all levels, sharing knowledge, and creating smarter business solutions.
