Supporting
Organisations are facing constant
changes and employees are expected to
be more and more flexible. Flatter and
more 'supportive' organisations are able
to implement decisions faster and with
more client focus. This implies confidence,
autonomy and accountability, as well as
recognition!
Improving
The new world of work requires creative
and innovative approaches to the
development of people and products.
IiP expects companies to make its motto
'Being better tomorrow than we are today'
theirs.
The bar is set (very) high to obtain the
Gold-level label, but we have been fully
committed to it since 2015, i.e. the last
time we were awarded the label.
OUR CONTINUING EDUCATION
POLICY FOR EMPLOYEES AND
TEAM LEADERS
We offer to all our employees the same
training and development opportunities,
and do not discriminate in any way
whatsoever.
We are motivated by our desire to ensure
that each person is ready at all times
for a new position within Cofinimmo
or elsewhere and that their expertise
aligns with market requirements. We also
promote from inside whenever possible.
Five areas of training are emphasised:
business-related technical skills,
sustainable development, languages, IT
and personal development.
Training courses are selected jointly by
the employee, their manager and Human
Resources. They take into account the
advances made by the competition and
the sector, the development needs of
the teams, new trends and the potential
for assuming a higher-level position. We
encourage all employees with potential
to train in leadership and people
management skills.
During the slower summer period,
employees can attend a Summer
Academy to refresh or improve their Word,
Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access and
LinkedIn skills.
In 2017, we launched the 'Language
Academy' simultaneously with an external
partner. It provides employees at the
same level with the opportunity to spend
three days in an intensive course, in
groups of three or four, improving their
Dutch, French, English or German.
