At ERGO, we believe that continuous learning and development keeps employees motivated and helps each individual, and the organisation as a whole to grow. We've created a variety of learning opportunities to ensure that everyone finds the right format for them: in-house training, development programmes, external conferences and seminars, the ERGO Group Digital Academy and the work shadowing. But the key is a person's desire to learn and to find ways to develop. There are so many different ways to do this nowadays - from e-learning platforms and books to YouTube, and TikTok.
In order to support employee development, regular one-to-one meetings with the team leader have become a good routine for us over the years. The purpose of these meetings is to talk through the focus, successes and give feedback to the employee, to ask how things are going and how the manager can support the employee. Together with the manager, the employee can identify the topics and development opportunities that are right for him or her.
