Our ongoing training programmes offer employees the opportunity to build ‘soft’ skills, such as creativity, innovation, agile thinking, communication and collaboration, alongside technical and job-specific skills. From the start, our induction programme sets new joiners up for a successful journey. Covering the required protocols, processes and role-specific training, it also aims to immerse our new employees in our culture and values. To this end, in 2020 we added mandatory modules covering sustainability, and diversity and inclusion. The changes in our working patterns through 2020 prompted us to rethink our learning and development programme, transitioning to a suite of engaging online training and tools. We also took the opportunity to provide additional training, linked to individual technical competencies for each job role, supporting our programme of individual development plans and career development plans. In 2020, remote working made the completion of training an individual’s choice. We’re delighted that, in addition to our mandatory training, our employees undertook numerous courses and modules provided by LinkedIn Learning. Given the extreme challenges that remote working raised in blurring the lines between their professional and private lives, this was a great reflection of how Aldar’s learning and development ethos permeates our business. Our people’s learning and development journey is strengthened by additional systems and platforms, including Talent Analytics and a Talent Management platform, driven by our Digital Transformation Strategy. These cutting-edge platforms enable us to deliver tailored training recommendations to support personal development and performance, along with the ability to identify any areas for improvement.
