Learning and career opportunities
We want to support our colleagues by helping to prepare them for their roles today and tomorrow. In 2022 our parent company Quintet we introduced learning week. Over a period of five days, over 28 workshops were organised to promote a learning culture. Sessions were based on various themes, including: presenting like a pro, building collaboration, managing upwards, turning stress into an ally, lightening your mental load, understanding how your brain works and managing as a coach. While certain sessions could appeal to specific audiences (e.g. managerial roles), the sessions were open to all employees.
Mental health training programme
The Mental health training programme was designed for employees who wished to deal more calmly with the challenges of everyday life. The training provided the opportunity to better know and understand different reactions to stress, thus identifying the possible appropriate and positive responses. Attendees acquired tools to manage reactions to stress with serenity and anchor practices in everyday life.
Quintet group graduate programme
The Quintet Group Graduate programme has been in place since 2020, with four to five graduates joining the programme each year. Through a two-year rotation based programme, graduates can experience four different areas of Quintet’s business, while being trained and developing professional competences. During the programme, graduates can be based in any Quintet location. International mobility is encouraged to share experience, explore the corporate culture and local specificities, building a strong network across the group. We seek diversity within our graduate community and have accordingly recruited from a variety of academic backgrounds.
