Performance and Growth Cycle: training and support

Please be aware that bLearning will be unavailable from 8am on Monday 20 May to 5pm on the Friday 24 May as the IT and Learning and Development teams will be performing upgrades to the system.

Please ensure that by Monday 20 May you complete any courses you have started but not finished. You may not be able to resume the course and may be required to start the course again. For the Performance and Growth Training, you have until 30 June to complete, so if you haven't started by 20 May, you will still have time to complete once bLearning is up and running again.

This upgrade is necessary so we can integrate bLearning with our internal systems and Microsoft. We apologise for any inconvenience.

All colleagues have access to the guidance materials below and are encouraged to complete the training to support the Performance and Growth Cycle. 

The training is available on b-learning and has been designed to be simple and short, offering bite-sized videos which you can use at your own pace, starting and stopping the module when you need. The training will be made available at different touchpoints throughout the year, which means you can access the training at a time that suits you, and it will remain fresh in your mind for the relevant part of the Cycle.  

• April 2024 - Module 1: Goal setting, colleague conversations, feedback  

• September 2024 - Module 2: Mid-year review 

• January 2025 - Module 3: Alignment (line managers only) 

• March 2025 - Module 4: Performance and Growth Review (PGR) and Outcome 

Information about each module will be added to this page closer to the time. 

This training is for all colleagues and line managers, with some modules including additional training for line managers only. If you completed training as part of the pilot last year, you may not feel the need to do it again, however, there have been a number of changes since the pilot training so it may be useful if you need a recap and update.

Colleagues in Retail and Trading will also be sent training and guidance for the offline version of the new Cycle – please keep an eye on Retail Hub for updates.
