Dedicated to your Development and Success

Learning and development are essential to maintaining the organisational capacity needed to achieve our business goals. Therefore Borealis encourages employees to develop knowledge and skills relevant to the business.

The Borealis Business Academy provides a wide range of training programmes that cater for individual competency development needs that are identified at the yearly performance and interim performance dialogues.

There is a broad catalogue of training opportunities in areas such as:

• Senior leaders’ programmes;
• Managers’ programmes;
• Generic skills programmes – skills that are not specific to any particular Business Group, function or profession;
• Functional/operational training

We also recognise that not all learning happens through training courses – most are achieved through on-the-job training.

Nurturing the continuous development of our people

Career and development plans are discussed and agreed through the yearly performance dialogues and, for senior leaders and individuals with identified potential for leadership positions, at the People Day sessions which address:

• Succession planning for key positions
• Development planning for this group of people

Borealis is a company with a cross-cultural and cross-geographical profile and therefore it is natural that employees are encouraged to gain international experience through foreign assignments in various countries.

Leadership Development takes its platform from the Leadership Profile, which indicates the characteristics we specifically assess leadership potential against:

• Deliver
• Envision
• Innovate
• Commercialise
• Lead

Living up to Borealis' values is in this respect condition sine qua non.
