Training and development
Empowering our colleagues to identify career paths and access training and development opportunities is vital for us to succeed as a business. We offer a wide range of technical training at all levels as well as management development programmes for our more senior employees. All employees can request additional training alongside anything that’s been agreed upon within their performance reviews, while coaching and mentoring are also encouraged.
Support is provided for employees studying for professional qualifications via bespoke technical programmes across all areas of our business. We continued to support early career talent through our graduate and apprenticeship programmes. This was recognised by XPS winning the Best Organisation for Supporting Development at the Professional Pensions Rising Start Awards.
