Penta Consulting (www.pentaconsultancy.com) has launched Pentacademy, a unique blend of face to face training with a suite of interactive web based tools and products, providing all Penta staff free access to a range of cutting edge recruitment training and personal development programmes. This training initiative will deliver up to 50 days training per head per year with much of this being tailored entirely to an individual’s specific requirements and available at the touch of a button.
Commenting on this major investment Kris England Smith, Head of Training & Development at Penta said. “We are very excited by this innovation which supports our strategic business goals. Our new training provides Penta staff with the best platform to develop their professional and personal credentials in order to become successful recruiters and fulfil their career potential. It also provides consistent high quality support for our overseas staff which in turn raises recruitment standards.”
A key feature of Pentacademy is the new leadership training currently being delivered to Penta’s management team. This six month programme to identify and equip Penta leaders of the future with the best possible skills is already delivering tangible outcomes relating directly to Penta’s profitability. Other key features include clear succession planning as well as identifying fast track and growth opportunities.
The Pentacademy has been developed in conjunction with James Osborne, Director of award winning business and training consultancy Innergy, who undertook a detailed assessment of the business to understand its key drivers and processes and says. “I have been very impressed by the level of engagement and commitment to the implementation of the initiatives and very pleased that they are delivering some significant new areas of growth and positive change across Penta.”
