Development & training
People achieve more when they are supported and motivated to develop their careers and acquire new skills.
Continual learning
WPP the parent company and our operating companies are committed to creating an environment in which our people will flourish and grow, running a wide range of training programs covering all aspects of agency business and creative skills.
Communications workshops
We run an internal programme of behavioural workshops that polish communications and presentational skills. Led by professionals from the performing arts, the programs refresh daily working habits and injects creative spark.
Leadership training
In 2004, WPP invested £25.1 million in training and well-being initiatives across the Group. We have introduced courses aimed at developing creative leadership, client leadership and personal leadership. Our client leadership course has been extended across all our largest companies.
Performance management
Our goal is for our people to receive regular performance appraisals. CEOs from our operating companies lead annual development-focused reviews of their executive talent with the key objectives of cultivating the capabilities of our leaders while assuring responsible succession planning.
Coaching, mentoring and deliberate job moves are essential by-products of these talent reviews.
