Career development
Whether you join us as a graduate or come to us from another company, at Standard Life we recognise that your career is your future - and our future depends on the development of your career. That's why working here isn't simply a job. It's a way of life that could last you a lifetime.
| Development |
| From your career development to your social life and hobbies, joining Standard Life will make a big difference to the way you work. We are very focused on training, and we will actively support you as you continue to learn. Equally, we encourage you to get involved in your community, in volunteering and fundraising, so that we can all give something back. And of course we want you to have fun, so we've built a staff community that promotes interaction, socialising and personal growth.
So your career here isn't dependent on your job. It's about what you put in, and what you will get back - and creating a future to look forward to. |
| Performance |
| Our performance management framework is designed to help you give your best and realise your full potential by playing to your strengths, while at the same time delivering our strategic business goals.

It provides ongoing opportunities to give and receive meaningful feedback, and to review and recognise successes and outcomes. |
| Learning |
| We believe you learn and develop best with a 70-20-10 approach - so 70% comes from informal learning, such as real-life and on-the-job experiences, tasks and problem solving, secondments and so on, 20% comes from feedback and from observing and working with role models, and 10% comes from formal training. |
