Our Learning Approach

Our approach to continuous professional and personal growth is based on a three-strand learning approach:

70%

We strongly believe in learning by doing. 70 per cent of development comes from engaging on-the-job activities, cross-functional teamwork, and challenging projects.

20%

Social learning makes up around 20 percent of one’s personal development. We encourage social learning through networking, coaching, and mentoring and through mutually supportive relationships with colleagues.

10%

The remaining 10 percent of our professional development time comes in formal course programmes or online learning. We also encourage team members to attend events and conferences.

My STADA Executive Committee colleagues and I make individual growth and leadership development a priority. Building and growing the best team in the industry is key to deliver our growth ambitions.
