Ipsen is committed to the training and development of all of its employees, to meet business goals, whilst achieving job satisfaction and career advancement.
The commitment to employee development begins at recruitment and continues throughout their time at Ipsen. All new recruits are introduced to the nature and diversity of the Ipsen Group, in addition – more... to the specific elements of their business unit. Regular Global Management Inductions help newly appointed managers to gain an overall understanding of Ipsen, its Vision, Mission, Values and business focus. This forum also allows managers to develop networks throughout the organisation.
A new Group-wide framework of core corporate programmes, the Ipsen Development and Education Academy (IDEA) has been implemented during 2006. IDEA has evolved to support the philosophy of corporate culture, people management and development. The portfolio of IDEA events will continue to expand throughout 2007 to provide development opportunities in management, continuous improvement and project management and the quality of these programmes will be further enriched by utilising a network of trainers from all areas of the business.
IDEA is orientated toward six principal goals:
core competencies, to facilitate the development and advancement of a corporate culture;
integration of new employees, using a common standard at local site level and geographical region, complemented by a specific programme for managers and e-integration via the intranet;
young professionals development programme, to attract, secure loyalty and accelerate the development of high-potential graduates, who will be involved in key roles within the Group's various divisions;
the Managers college, to raise the performance of supervisors and managers to guarantee consistency of management practices within the Group;
the Leaders college, to hone the leadership skills of senior executives in long-term strategic areas;
the Group's image, to provide a clear communication of the Group's human resources practices and management initiatives.
In addition to IDEA, specific technical skills and professional development are addressed within each business unit. This ensures a holistic approach to maintaining and developing the skill base and managerial expertise of Ipsen employees.
A significant mechanism for the identification of training and development needs is the Ipsen Performance Appraisal Process (IPAP), which facilitates regular discussions between employees and their managers, regarding personal objectives and development needs. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
