Training complements on-the-job learning

 
Alma Media offers its employees a wide range of opportunities for renewal and professional growth. The Group uses the 70-20-10 model for competence development, under which 70% of all learning takes place on the job, for example through new projects and job rotation.
 
According to the model, 20% of learning takes place through other people, for example in the form of development discussions. Annually, approximately 85% of Alma Media's employees have a performance discussion. The company has adopted a development and renewal tool known as KehU, which has further improved the practices related to performance discussions and is expected to result in an increase in the number of performance discussions conducted. The tool helps to ensure that all of Alma Media's people have a performance discussion and that the matters agreed upon are documented in a consistent manner, which is also helpful if the employee's supervisor changes. KehU will also improve transparency and openness in goal setting.
 
Active learning, for example training, constitutes 10% of competence development, where the Jokeri 2011 -programme is the focal point. It is a multi-year personnel development programme aimed at coaching selected employees for more demanding positions and to take advantage of their expertise in various business development undertakings.
