This year we ran our first leadership programme at Paladone for 16 of our seniors and managers across the business. We designed The Paladone Leadership Programme in order to support the skills required of our Leaders at Paladone. It combines our ambitions for the future and our passion for developing our talented team. We designed materials for a seven module leadership programme and ran a successful pilot.
Feedback from our Leaders who took part in the programme
- I understood in a ‘gut feel’ kind of way what it takes to lead, and I believe I have been successful at it. This course has helped me define some of those behaviours, understand some methods to refine them, and some opportunities for growing the leadership practices that I undertake.
- I found the course highly interesting and enjoyable!
- I loved the course and it’s been so valuable and easy to apply day-to-day.
We provided a grounding in leadership best practices so that our leaders gained support for developing their teams. Our Leaders are now recognised by an external and credible awarding body.
Why we chose the ILM
We chose ILM, who are part of City & Guilds, to support our programme because they are passionate about harnessing the power of leadership to transform people and businesses. They are the UK’s top leadership and management qualification specialists. They work with highly talented leaders and equip them with the skills to make a real difference in their industry. 93,000 people take an ILM qualification every year!
The ILM and City & Guilds came to visit Paladone to assess our programme. It was following this visit that the Paladone Leadership Programme achieved Assured Status. Our leadership programme meets the high standards of leadership and management development best practice!
As a result of attending the programme, leaders who completed the course will receive a certificate from the ILM and City & Guilds.
What is means to us
Nina Mansell, Paladone’s Learning and Development Manager, said:
It’s been a hugely busy time. I cannot wait to see our team of leaders rewarded for their hard work!
Over the last nine months, a lot of work has gone into having conversations, designing and delivering the course, but it’s been such a worthwhile project.
Getting the ILM assured status has been a great win for Paladone, and me personally because I now get to see those who successfully completed the programme recognised through the ILM and City & Guilds.
Well done to all our team who attended and completed the programme!
Our HR Director, Nicky Calladine, added:
We are incredibly proud to have achieved this status from the ILM and City & Guilds, as we believe it echoes the investment and support that we want to provide to our Leaders at Paladone. We are so pleased that our team will be recognised for their hard work, and we look forward to recognising them at a small ceremony at the end of November.
Going forward, we are also able to run the Paladone Leadership Programme across our global offices!
