People Development Support Case Study

“I’ve been with Skipton now for 28 years. So you could say I enjoy what I do. And the most enjoyable part is supporting people in their development. It really is fantastic to see those you’ve helped progress through the business. The fact that I’m part of a dedicated, friendly and fun-loving team is also an important factor in why I’ve been here so long.

“It’s a team that’s always on hand to guide and encourage staff through workshops and all the other forms of learning the business provides. Acting as an internal consultant throughout the organisation, it’s my job to design and deliver a range of training programmes. To do this well, you have to have outstanding interpersonal skills, plus the ability to influence people. As we’re often quite busy, good organisational and time management skills are important too.

“As for my own development, I’m currently completing a BA in Professional Training and Development at Leeds Met University, and I’ve been actively encouraged and supported by the Business to follow this particular path.”
