Learning & development

At Standard Chartered, our learning philosophy is simple. We believe:

• Continuous learning offers a distinctive advantage for the Bank.
• Only by maximising the strengths of our people will we fully realise the growth potential of our business.
• With the right support and encouragement people thrive by taking ownership of their development.

Nurturing our talent

Through our global learning function, we encourage each employee to take responsibility for their own development, creating a culture in which everyone has opportunities to learn and grow. We also have a number of Learning Centres around the world that offers every employee greater access to latest thinking, tools and programmes. These provide a blended approach to classroom and online learning methods to support personal and professional development. Many employees have benefited from identifying their strengths using an online self-assessment tool. This is supported by in-house Strengths Coaches who are trained to help people develop action plans to enhance their personal effectiveness. We also have learning roadmaps that highlight the recommended development for people in key roles.

Management and Executive Development

We develop our leaders in a number of ways, from building strengths to identifying learning opportunities and mentoring. All of the programmes integrate cutting-edge research, latest Standard Chartered business metrics with innovative training, assessment and action learning to create proven benefit for managers. We also provide individual coaching to improve performance and encourage personal and professional development apart from sponsoring executive development programmes with leading academic institutions.

Coaching for high performance

We believe in providing learning in a range of styles that best suit individual needs and preferences. The global learning function aims to leverage the collective knowledge and experience of the Bank to drive greater business performance. The key to high performance is ensuring our employees know what's expected of them. Through our performance management system, we aim to provide an objective view of an employee's performance along with their contribution to business performance and their personal development goals.
