Wescot Credit
Services
seeks to give employees opportunities for learning and development. To
accomplish this, the company offers opportunities for learning and development
that are consistent with company objectives. It believes its employees, in
company vernacular “its 'people',” deserve “lifelong learning” opportunities. Wescot Credit Services does this
because the company believes that the promotion of a learning and development
culture is important. Wescot Credit
Services work towards making sure employees have the ability to pursue
learning and development opportunities so that they have the tools and ability
to carry out necessary functions of their positions. According to Wescot Credit Services, the company is conscious
that short term and long term company goals are met when employees pursue
learning opportunities. This, then, becomes a wise investment for any company, Wescot Credit Services not excluded.
During
the course of all employees' employment, Wescot
Credit Services says that it will provide employees with opportunities for
learning and development, whether that entails training on the job or off the
job. This improves levels of performance, WescotCredit Services believes, as well as providing opportunities for career
progression by learning new skills.
In
addition to the learning and development opportunities for the necessary
function and improvement of satisfying the needs mandated by all positions
within the company, Wescot Credit
Services also allows employees to seek out supplemental learning activities
that the employee arranges themselves. Wescot
Credit Services policy around this is another way they make room to allow
employees to achieve training to satisfy their career goals. Wescot Credit Services has instituted the
ability for employees to receive time off for these activities within the week
as a matter of company policy dating back to 2010.
An
employee can demonstrate that the training or education they wish to undertake
could improve their effectiveness as an employee of Wescot Credit Services and receive time off. They can also show
that they wish to gain recognised accreditation, which would also not only
improve their abilities, but also the performance of the company as a whole.
Unaccredited training to improve skills relevant to their position, as a means
to improve their overall performance is also relevant criteria that the company
will consider as to whether to grant employees time off.
In
this way Wescot Credit Services assures
continued learning and development of its employees.
