Induction
Our induction programme starts with an action-packed week where you learn
all about our company, our culture, our clients and how we operate as a business.
You will then start getting to grips with the fundamentals of coding, our technology and how our product (Alfa Systems) works and is used by clients.
After this you’ll move away from training in the traditional sense and into a more dynamic learning environment which is a safe space to put into practice all we have to teach you. With a minimum length of six weeks, our technical bootcamp phase of induction will get you up to speed with the coding skills you will need to get started in an Engineering team or on an Implementation project.
We see the induction as the foundation of your career and, once this has been established, how you choose to develop professionally is up to you and your manager. Our Learning and Development team provides a wide-ranging suite of learning opportunities for all employees to learn at a pace they are comfortable with.
Throughout training, you’ll get to meet lots of faces across the company - from previous graduate joiners, project managers, technical architects, Client Account Directors right up to our CEO and members of our Company Leadership Team (CLT).
Your Performance and Development
Your performance and development process will give you formal feedback about your work and identify development needs. The process lets you know how you are progressing, where you are particularly strong, and where you should be channeling your efforts. This enables you to manage the pace and direction of your own career.
As well as receiving regular feedback, you’ll receive a formal evaluation annually from your evaluator who will usually be the person directly supervising you. Part of every evaluation is the opportunity to comment privately on your work - and your manager - after the meeting takes place.
Throughout your career, your manager will provide support and advice to help you realise your potential, and be the best you can be.
Ongoing Feedback
We want you to achieve your full potential at Alfa, and we make sure that you keep developing new skills and improving those you already have. Regular, two-way feedback is an important part of this. We encourage managers to meet with employees on a regular basis, and there is also the opportunity to get involved with 360-degree feedback. We also want to use everyone’s talents to make Alfa even better together, so we make sure we share our ideas on how to improve our company, product and services.
