Learning & development
For us, it is about your personal and professional development so that you can make impact on our customers, PDM, and yourself. We work with the 70:20:10 model to achieve this, enhanced with the deep learning of conscious development.
‘Learning is always in the doing’ as we put it. That is what the 70% is about. Becoming aware of the importance of attitude, and the development of knowledge and skills. Practicing and cultivating your capabilities, gaining insight, and learning to understand how to act and work in various situations. Becoming effective and efficient. During this process of personal growth, you will develop awareness and self-confidence under the guidance of PDM development coaches. With great know-how!
The 20% happens on the job, with your operational leaders and development coach playing a crucial role. Asking and receiving feedback, on a daily basis. Having frequent 1:1 deep dives with your operational leader, and regular sessions with your development coach. Teaming up with colleagues in development and innovation programs – our daily way of life! So we are all in this together; getting to know each other for real and learn together.
The last 10% is the training that we offer. These trainings are organized by our coaches! Your colleagues, probably you as well in the future. An example is our PDM Identity Training, a four-day outdoor together with fifteen colleagues and five coaches. Six workshops, working hard and having a lot of fun. Engaging you in what our company is driven by and the how and why behind this drive. So that you, as a person, find inspiration and challenge for your contribution and future at PDM.
That is who we are. We grow because of you, and that is why you are in charge. You contribute personally to the future of our business and our customers’ growth and exceed your expectations for personal growth.
Conscious development
Conscious Development enhances the 70:20:10 model; it’s an enrichment. It entails attention to a continuously developing a ‘free’ mind and healthy body, so we organize initiatives that contribute to exactly that. Within PDM, you have the possibility to become a member of multiple sports communities, like the padel or soccer community. Besides that, we regularly organize social gatherings and events, during which you can celebrate your success with your colleagues!
