Take control of your career
At GSK, we offer everyone the opportunity to work with outstanding colleagues. Our culture inspires people to do things better and faster - so we can all thrive while doing our best work.
We are empowered to take charge of our own development throughout our career. We do this through a blend of on-the-job experience and formal and informal learning. This includes coaching, mentoring, and training programmes.
We also encourage our colleagues to take responsibility for their objectives, make agile decisions, take smart risks, and listen and act on constructive feedback. These actions consistently improve our performance and help us be conscious of the impact we create for better flow.
All of our people have access to our 'Keep growing campus', a development portal with resources that match their roles, development needs and interests. It means that they can choose the right tools and resources to help them achieve their ambitions.
Talent management and the role of learning and development
GSK has developed several in-house competencies to meet the diverse learning needs of our employees. There are learning and development (L&D) activities that are undertaken to ensure that both long-term and short-term organisational objectives are met, a synergistic talent pipeline gets created and employees’ career progression ambitions also get addressed.
A crucial aspect of talent management and accountable leadership is the creation of a leadership pipeline that is well-prepared to take on priority roles that affect organisational profitability and stability.
Developing leaders
We have a strong focus on developing the effectiveness of managers, including their ability to help people maximise their potential. Managers can access leadership development programmes to support them at each stage of their careers.
Our One80 reviews help them improve based on feedback from their teams.
Taking care of our people
Our culture is about giving everyone space and support to succeed, learn and grow so we can achieve our ambition. It’s about providing everything you need to be and perform at your best – both mentally and physically.
Whether in laboratories, manufacturing sites or offices, we make sure every space is a safe, inclusive and caring environment. By encouraging our colleagues to take personal responsibility to do the right thing, everyone in the room plays an active role in being inclusive.
Our range of health and wellbeing programmes and support services will help you be healthier, inspired and energised both at work and at home. It’s important to us that each of our colleagues is truly well, happy and have the confidence to be themselves.
