Mentoring and learning
on-the-job

experienced staff and new team members. Mentors help and guide our new
starters and job movers with structured opportunities to share knowledge and
experiences whilst learning on the job. Formal training programmes also
support career progression and development right across the business.
24/7 Learning Online
‘My Learning’ is the home to a range of education, information, and training
resources for all BUUK colleagues. It is an online platform hosting internal and
external resources aligned with our business goals and core values. From articles
and blogs to webinars and eLearning, there is a method of delivery to suit
everyone, with resources to upskill and learn.

The Institute of Leadership
and Management

Guilds of London Institute. The programme enables colleagues at a team-leader
level to share a common leadership language and develop effective
management behaviours. The topics covered reflect those of our higher-level
leadership programmes, and all BUUK people in a role with direct reports have
the chance to study for the ILM.
