U AND YOUR CAREER: HOWA UNIFYING CULTURE HELPS YOU SUCCEED CHAPTER FIVE
BE INSPIRED AND CHALLENGED Your personal career plans at BDO are designed to inspire and challenge at all stages of your career. We expect you to shape your career according to your strengths, skills and personality. We have introduced a new Career Pathways programme. A Career Pathway is an organised and structured approach to career planning and development. There are a number of different routes for career progression and everyone’s journey will be unique, as ‘success’ is different for each individual. Through a number of different activities, it seeks to develop all employees throughout their career life-cycle, as well as identify and support high-potential performers within the business. The world is moving at a fast pace, and we all need to keep up with the latest trends and changes in our own areas of work, as well as further developing our skills and competencies. We hire quality people to deliver great results. Being challenged and inspired in the work each of us does is vital to a healthy and fulfilling career. We recognise this and encourage working beyond our immediate BDO goals, considering wider societal dilemmas and problems, and encourage our people to give back to the wider community in which we work.
ANDREA HUNT Global Outsourcing Partner in Bristol, Core Purpose Champion, keen skier and wildlife enthusiast We truly care about our people, helping everyone to be themselves and to have the flexibility and encouragement to add value in what matters to them the most. Our clients see this commitment and enthusiasm and enjoy working with a motivated team who want to provide a high-quality service and help them to develop their business and be successful.” LISA CLAMPIN Lead Partner in East Anglia, Head of Public Sector Assurance, photography fan and keeper of Schnauzers Imagine how proud I felt when one of our senior managers, Emma Smith, let me know that she had – voluntarily – just nominated BDO as ‘Best Employer’ in the Suffolk Business Awards. We made it through to the final shortlist: all because of how Emma herself articulated what she thought was great about the firm. It was a heart-warming moment that reassured me why the time we spend preserving and celebrating our Unifying Culture is time well spent.”
BDO is placed in The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers.
