Main findings
The survey Training and development opportunities indicates that this employment condition is currently not sufficiently set up. ING says it provides a large budget. But unfortunately, the reaction of many employees is that they cannot follow the training that they themselves consider necessary. Employees indicate that they want to develop themselves. But there are many obstacles: administrative challenges at ING, there does not seem to be a budget for everyone, the workload is high. This can and must be improved.
Conclusions
De Unie draws the following conclusion from this research into training and development:
- The learning account is not sufficient. The credit on the learning account is money from employees, if they cannot spend it usefully, the collective labor agreement should offer another instrument. Budget that is not used for five years is returned to ING by the learning account.
- The My learning offer focuses too much on e-learning and offers insufficient opportunities for in-depth knowledge acquisition. The survey shows that there is a need for physical training and more specialized training.
- The availability of budget for training and development is insufficiently transparent.
- Employees lack guidance. This task is assigned to the managers. De Unie wants to investigate how managers are trained to perform this task well. Because in the survey we see that the stimulation and motivation is appreciated by managers. In addition, we see that employees who want to focus on a training aimed at a career step outside ING, do not always want to discuss this with their own lead.
