We are committed to support our staff in both their personal and professional development. To do this we have a range of opportunities available in addition to the statutory training that is required by law.
We value vocational learning as much as academic learning and encourage our staff to share their knowledge with others. We believe that all staff should have equal access to learning and development opportunities and we are committed to developing our staff through the performance management process.
Horder Healthcare provides a comprehensive induction course, to ensure that new employees are introduced to the key personnel from the organisation who discuss their roles and their department’s objectives. The new recruit will gain an understanding into the management structure, the organisations vision and values and understand future plans and developments.
By the end of the induction period new employees will recognise how their role is a key component in the success of our organisation. This will also provide a foundation to assist with the essential process of integration into their team.
At Horder Healthcare there is a strong commitment to support and train staff to fulfill their true potential. We provide opportunities to increase their skills, knowledge and recognise experience and achievement; our commitment to their professional development is a priority.
We encourage skills based training through on the job coaching across the organisation. We support and promote individuals who demonstrate capability, drive and determination. Succession planning and a clear career progression pathway also plays a key component of the culture of Horder Healthcare. All staff have clear job descriptions and person specifications.
Empowering our managers is essential. This creates a culture which encourages effective communication; promotes positive working relationships and ultimately strives for an engaged, capable and motivated workforce.
