Development
It’s not the hours you put in, but what you put into the hours that counts.
At any one time, up to 7% of our employees are on international assignments. So wherever your individual talents lie, we have the scope to enable you to develop them to the full - wherever in the world that may lead you.
Career development at Man is not about climbing a fixed ladder. We give you the opportunity to take responsibility for setting your own goals and your own route, and developing the skills you need along the way.
The performance we deliver to investors is directly linked to the performance of our people, we take care to recognise and give accelerated development to our key performers at all levels.
From graduate-entry level to senior management, training programmes are structured to ensure that everyone is fully able to realise their potential.
To support professional and technical learning we provide an Educational Assistance Programme, offering full or partial funding and / or time off to study. This is our commitment to developing our employees to reach their full potential.
Below are some comments from employees who have participated in our Advanced Managers Programme (AMP):
"I don't think a course can teach you how to be a leader - I think that a leader possesses those qualities naturally but are often underdeveloped. What the AMP does is draw attention to the skills that are used subconsciously and helps to hone and mature them. It provides up and coming leaders with the tool set to be truly effective and successful. Communication is an example - we do it daily but do we do it effectively? AMP is a hands-on course - it takes real examples to drive messages home and forces participants to examine and asses their current behaviour and its effectiveness. The tools are useful - we heavily utilised the communication and stakeholder plan in our project but the value comes from enhancing the softer skills. Coaching the team to find their own solutions motivates and empowers them and in addition, knowing how to effectively persuade someone can often be helpful!
AMP is not about taking notes, it's about developing skills and your mindset to be truly effective." Helen, ITO Team Leader, AMP Programme
"It's been the focus on the individual and nurturing the individual that I have found most valuable. Learning how to use various management tools is all well and good however developing the individual to help them uncover their leadership values and methods has been the key for me. I found the 1-2-1 coaching on the leadership skills programme particularly stimulating, guiding me to understanding my brand and focussing on what I can offer as a leader. Beyond the comprehensive toolset to equip me for the challenges ahead, the stand out feature of the programme for me has been the opportunity to work with the programme facilitators, with many years of commercial experience, to 'find my swing'." Chris, TG Project Manager, AMP Programme
Below are some comments from employees who have participated in our Essentials of Management Programme (EMP):
"Perfect for my new position and new team. Practically tailor made"
"Excellent! I would recommend it to anyone within the business; even ones that don't manage a team. It is all about managing stakeholders, dealing and managing relationships within and across the company"
"Out of all the management courses I have attended previously, this by far was the best"
"Books are great for knowledge but this course demonstrates the need for training. Good way of looking further than your team."
