Training and Development

The new Pentacademy offers a suite of interactive e-learning courses and modules covering a wide range of essential recruitment and business skills to enable new and existing consultants to accelerate their own learning. This learning and development hub, which offers up to 50 days of training per year, is visual and interactive providing clear career mapping by showing the competencies and criteria necessary to get to the next level within the business.  Individuals can access the training in their own time dramatically improving the development of employees working in our satellite offices.

• We offer a structured induction programme followed by ongoing technical training with master classes delivered by our in-house experts and external contacts.
• We offer full funding and support such as paid study leave to enable our employees to complete relevant professional qualifications.
• We have an impressive track record of promoting from within and ongoing coaching, mentoring and internal management development programmes are all offered to ensure that everyone fulfils their potential and long term career development aspirations are achieved.

There is a high emphasis on formal training but we recognise the importance of informal training too; the open and friendly culture that exists within Penta encourages a learning environment where ideas and innovation are encouraged and everyone has something to contribute.

The Penta Performance Review Process

Our interactive web based self assessment appraisal system, geared to individual and team needs has transformed performance throughout the business. 

• Appraisals are an every day part of the way Penta operates not just a once a month, once a quarter or once a year activity
  MPRs are flexible, accessible, easy to use and inspirational
  MPRs help to pinpoint individual and team motivations
  Individual and team training and coaching needs are pinpointed every month
  Personal development areas are identified
  Financial rewards are highlighted

As a result Penta staff feel in control of their day to day destiny and can develop their own personal business plan.  Finally, our commitment to continuous business improvement means that training evaluation is an integral aspect of our business review process; establishing the link between training, learning and service delivery means we can measure the impact of our training and development strategy to ensure we deliver on our promises to both our clients and employees.
