Learning and Development
At Fonterra, we want to attract, retain and develop people of the highest calibre to help us achieve our vision to Lead in Dairy.
We want our people to be united, to challenge and to be challenged, and to be proud of their performance and of Fonterra. To do this, we have a people management process called PERFORMplus and a commitment to use it to achieve our business goals.
We believe that:
- Learning is an integral part of each employees role
- Learning and development are most effective when they are done on the job, working with real business issues, challenging assignments and goals
- Identification and accelerated development of our key talent is critical to our success.
Our performance and development strategies are designed to turn our aspirations into goals that translate into clear accountabilities for individuals. Each employee understands how they contribute to Fonterra’s success and what rewards and development opportunities are available to them.
We believe in both functional excellence and inspirational leadership to deliver results and we want the experience of working at Fonterra to build employees capabilities and a sense of personal development.
To help achieve this, we have the PERFORMplus framework for managing performance and development. PERFORMplus runs across all of our salaried employees and drives our performance, development, succession, talent management and recruitment processes. It incorporates our values and performance objectives and links through to remuneration. The outcomes of PERFORMplus create opportunities for our people to develop both as individuals and in their careers.
