Chapter 3: Performance, Learning & Development

learning or the acquisition of skills that may or may not be related specifically to your current duties.

Types of Development

Your development activities can be categorised according to the needs they meet:

● Organisational needs: inducting new team members, promoting links between team members in different locations, recognising excellent team members, preparing team members for change, training team members for new duties and positions, learning from external experts, legislative requirements, and preparing team members to carry out more complex levels of responsibility in Branded Group.

● Occupational needs: skills and knowledge connected with performing the duties of a specific position, maintaining professional expertise in the relevant occupation or discipline, extending professional expertise to encompass new developments in the area, and maintaining current professional registration.

● Individual needs: job satisfaction, skill development and professional career paths.

Branded Group aims to always provide quality service to our clients. Due to the nature of our industry, you may need to attend regular and compulsory training.

If training is considered mandatory for the successful completion of your role, then this time will be counted as time worked. If training is considered optional or for personal development needs only, then you have the choice of whether to attend the training, and any attendance will be unpaid.

Your development needs will be identified as part of the Performance Review process. As part of this process, you and your Manager will discuss whether attending training or development is mandatory for the effective performance of your roles and responsibilities (and therefore attendance is paid), or desirable (and therefore unpaid).
