NCC Group plc Annual Report 2021

Investing in personal development Our ambition is to be known as a hub for cyber talent, a place where people can come and develop personally and professionally. In FY21 we: • Launched a sales academy pilot in our UK and APAC Assurance division, which provides structured training to support sales colleagues at every stage of their career – from joining NCC Group through to advance sales techniques • Began to build leadership development, with 40 North American leaders undertaking the Stanford Leadership Development programme with over 180 managers globally attending our Manager Essentials programme • Extended investment in developing our next generation managers and 22 colleagues in the UK and North America due to graduate in September 2021. All colleagues from the pilot cohort in FY20 went on to be promoted to managerial roles In addition, listening to feedback from our colleague forums and engagement survey, we launched our career framework pilot in March 2021.

The initial focus for the pilot is our technical community in our Global Professional Services in the UK and APAC region. The aim is to clarify how colleagues can progress from junior through to senior levels and how to move across specialist and management roles, with a view to empowering them to manage their own career. The career framework will include: • A toolkit to help colleagues plan potential career steps/paths across the role options • A learning catalogue linked to roles, with details of how to access learning • Optional career development workshops for colleagues • Regular career development discussions as part of our performance management process • Clarity on our approach to promotions The pilot will extend to other parts of the business including our Global Software Resilience, Global Managed Services and Sales colleagues over the coming year.
