Employee Views on Training
"When people talk about training, it often conjures
up an image of an on-site classroom. And, of course, that's
where much of it takes place. But not all. For instance, I
went to California to learn about a new product, spending
three weeks with the project team. And I've since been on
other training courses abroad when that's been judged the
best way to get the full picture. Definitely one of the benefits
of working for a company as large and diverse as Agilent."

"I've had access to a lot of courses to help build
up my management skills. Team Building. Management Styles.
Social Styles. And, probably the most interesting of all,
a fascinating one on Building Customer Focused Organisations.
The aim there was to encourage a lateral thinking approach
to managing customer relationships. It's all about seeing
beyond what they're telling you, about anticipating possible
problems and - of course - coming up with solutions. At the
moment, I'm talking to my manager about doing some Advanced
Management training. Like new graduates, I'll have a mentor
- the difference being that mine will be from an external
organisation. I think it will be good for me - now all I have
to do is make the case for it."
