The Manager's Toolkit

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP OUR PEOPLE?

Within Chivas Brothers we recognise the importance of developing our people to be the best they can be. Training and development helps to ensure employees’ productivity. Spending time and money investing in our employees helps increase employee engagement and commitment to our business . Training can help employees understand how their work fits into our company's structure, mission, goals and achievements. As a result, employees can become more motivated about their work as they understand how what they do matters to the success of the organisation . Providing opportunities for continuous development is one of the best employee motivators . Continuous development will not always take the form of a training session . When considering how to support your employee’s development gaps it’s important to consider the right mechanism for their need - and for them as an individual. Learning options within CBL take the form of; soft skills training courses, technical training, Health & Safety courses, e-learning, leadership programmes, Pernod Ricard University programmes, on-the-job coaching & assessment, career placements, mentoring, conferences & seminars, further education, languages, qualifications etc. The best method – is the one which suits the need - and this may be a combination of several activities over a period of time .

It may be the case that attendance on a course = competency for the individual. However it’s much more likely that a course will just be the beginning – as the learning is then complimented by additional activities such as coaching and reviews . The Employee Development Team is always on hand to discuss your team’s needs. They can help you to consider the best options to support your team members, taking into account their current role, future career aspirations and the needs of your business area.
