Training and Development
Continual career progression and growth are achieved through ongoing performance feedback and training, networking programmes and mobility opportunities. Let's look at those in more detail:
Ongoing Performance Feedback and Training
We believe that the best way to improve performance continually is through feedback and coaching – from the people you work with most closely.
Our performance review process and tools are designed to help you manage your career and meet your career aspirations. They provide a framework within which you can discuss all aspects of your performance openly and honestly, as well as understand how you’re doing compared with expectations.
We'll also provide you with a wide range of training opportunities, both classroom and online.
L@B (Learning At Barclays Capital) is a web-based Learning Management System for scheduling, launching and managing all instructor-led and online training offered to Barclays Capital employees. Employees can launch and manage courses that are pre-selected by Human Resources, Compliance or your Business Area via “Your assigned training”.
Networking Programmes and Mobility
As we place so much value on individual initiative at Barclay's Capital, we give our employees every opportunity to flourish and prosper within the firm. Our policy of encouraging people to seek career growth and challenges internally has been designed to support, promote and proactively manage internal mobility, while maintaining transparency.
To help build a culture of inclusion, as well as attract, retain and develop a diverse workforce, we've formed five Employee Network Groups. They are open to all employees who wish to participate in the firm's diversity efforts and are recognised by the firm for their support in accomplishing our goals of increasing our diversity representation and creating a culture of inclusion. These forums support business and diversity goals through their focus on raising awareness, providing networking and professional development opportunities to their membership, and partnering with external organisations on community outreach initiatives. Networks are sponsored by senior managers across the business.
