Your Development – At Westernacher you are in charge

We don’t try to retrofit people to set career tracks. When you start out with us,we look at you as an individual. We sit down and discuss your interests and assess your strengths over the first month. We don’t try to make you earn your place here with a rigid system of hoops and pre-requisites. You are an individual with your personal set of qualities. At Westernacher, we want to focus on leveraging and developing your strengths. While applying a rigorous set of learning targets and skill acquisition goals, we try to match your ambitions with ours. To achieve this, we will assign you a buddy and mentor to accompany you as you find your feet.

Learning & Training

When you start out, the most important learning is done ‘on the job’. To prepare you for this we will provide you with some structured technical and non-technical training in the first few months. As you progress, we offer a range of structured and unstructured training possibilities – on and off the job or project. As part of your annual personal development review, we will explore what learning opportunities might be best for your progress. Development isn’t just about learning, it’s about personal growth. We encourage even our junior associates to take the lead on certain project tasks and to get involved in creating and providing training for others or to act as a buddy to the next generation of new recruits.

Coaching

When you start, we will assign you a coach and a buddy to help you navigate your way within Westernacher and your practice or functional area. They will help ensure that you get the information and guidance you need in order to get off to a great start. In addition, we look at every performance review, whether it is on a project or your annual review, as an opportunity to provide meaningful feedback, counseling and coaching. These conversations should challenge you to explore your individual interests and strengths in the context of your long-term career development.
