Career progression
We support our colleagues to forge the career path they want to follow. We know that development can mean moving sideways as well as upwards.
You'll have regular conversations with your line manager to discuss your performance and career aspirations. You'll have twice yearly performance reviews and quarterly career performance conversations. We also have a range of coaching and mentoring programmes available.
Performance and development
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed at Standard Life.
Our performance management framework applies to all colleagues, regardless of working pattern or contractual arrangement, including full-time, part-time and fixed-term colleagues. Throughout the year, colleagues work with their leaders to agree quarterly priority goals (objectives) which make expectations clear, discuss development priorities, review progress and seek regular feedback.
Performance and development conversations are an important part of how we support growth, recognise contribution and help colleagues achieve their potential. We consider both what people deliver and how they behave, alongside the impact they have for our customers, colleagues and the wider business.
With access to learning opportunities, on-the-job experience and support from leaders and colleagues, you'll be encouraged to keep developing throughout your career.
