At HelloBetter, we have Training Plans that define the individual requirements for all employees, as well as for specific teams and roles. The purpose of our Training Plans is to raise awareness and ensure understanding of the regulatory obligations related to the business we operate in. Moreover, our Training Plans ensure that role- specific competencies are developed and maintained, as well as being able to adapt seamlessly to role changes.
Here are some examples of the topics covered by our Training Plans: Code of Conduct, Information Security, Data Protection, Introduction to Medical devices & QMS, SOPs, Risk Management, leadership essentials.
Through our People Tool Leapsome, we are happy to offer interactive learning journeys to our team members. The learning journeys consist of self-study micro learning (short articles, videos), and mini quizzes to be completed.
We already cover a variety of topics ranging from learning materials designed to foster your knowledge gained from the onboarding workshops, as well as guiding you through diverse people processes such as 1on1s, Development Reviews etc. Additionally, we offer optional soft-skills trainings, such as “Giving and Receiving Feedback”, along with other training modules which are part of our training plans outlined above. This initiative is a work in progress, as we continually expand this library with more learning opportunities.
Beyond our internal learning initiatives, we value your unique learning needs. To promote your personal growth and development we allocate an annual budget of 1000 Euro for your development. Working students, interns, and positions with a 520€ salary also receive 500 Euro if they stay with HB for more than 6 months. This allocation is not transferable to the following year.
