At Eastgate, we care about our employees’ individual growth and career advancement. We believe that investing in our team members’ development is a way of investing in the success of our company. That’s why we offer a total rewards policy that includes various opportunities for our employees’ personal and professional growth, including supporting tuition fees of enrolling courses, building courses on our company’s Moole LMS, and allowing for day offs to attend exciting technical webinars. In this blog post, we’ll dive deeper into our commitment to employee development, and how these opportunities can enhance our team members’ skills and experiences.
Supporting Tuition Fees for Enrolling Courses
We understand that higher education can be costly, and not everyone has the financial resources to pursue it. That’s why we’ve developed a policy to support our employees’ higher education aspirations. We provide full support for tuition fees for courses that our employees may want to enroll in. This includes courses from accredited universities and colleges, as well as technical certifications and training programs. Our employees can pursue a degree or certification program that will enhance their skills and equip them with knowledge essential to their role. A strong emphasis on education and development also benefits our company in the long run, as it means we’re continuously upskilling and diversifying our talent pool.
Building Courses on Our Company’s Moole LMS
In addition to supporting external courses and certifications, we’ve also developed our own internal learning management system (LMS) on Moodle. Moodle is a platform that provides our employees with access to various learning resources such as e-learning modules. We use Moole to deliver training on a range of topics, including technical skills, leadership development, communication, and more. Our employees can complete courses at their own pace, in their own time, and from any device. The flexibility that Moole provides fosters a culture of continuous learning, reducing the skills gap across our organization.
Allowing for Day Offs to Attend Technical Webinars
In the fast-paced world of technology, attending and keeping up with technical webinars can be essential to any professional’s growth. At Eastgate, we understand that some of our employees may want to attend such webinars but may not be able to do so due to their workload. That’s why we’ve developed a policy that allows our employees to take a day off to attend technical webinars without hampering their work responsibilities. This policy applies to webinars that can help our employees enhance their technical skills and is a testament to the importance we place on the growth of our employees.
Monthly Lunch & Learn
Lunch & Learn is a program that provides our employees with an opportunity to learn and grow during their lunch hour. During these sessions, our staff members come together in a supportive environment, and each selected team share their knowledge and expertise on various topics. From digital marketing to project management, topics vary based on the needs of the organization and its employees. Employees who participate in the program gain new insights, become more knowledgeable, and receive the necessary tools to deliver optimum results. You will be able to network with your colleagues, develop new skills and expertise, and share ideas. This program is available to all employees, regardless of where you are on the organizational ladder. Furthermore, it offers a safe and relaxed environment that encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration, further fueling the Eastgate culture of continuous improvement and learning.
Other Development Opportunities
Besides the above opportunities, we also offer other development opportunities to our employees. These include coaching and mentoring programs to help our employees learn and grow from experienced professionals in their field and cross-functional opportunities to enable them to gain diverse experiences within the company.
At Eastgate, we’re passionate about investing in our employees’ personal and professional development. Providing them with the necessary tools and opportunities to learn and grow not only benefits them, but it also benefits our organization. Our robust total rewards policy tells prospective hires that we’re committed to creating an environment that supports their growth, encouraging them to join our team. We’re proud of the opportunities we provide our employees and will continue to expand and improve our development offerings as we move forward.
