Eight colleagues from Monmouthshire Building Society have graduated from the Amplify course – a programme designed to encourage continuous improvement and collaboration between key functions in the business.
Amplify graduates who work in Business Change, Saving and Customer Contact , Retail, Quality Assurance, Products, Mortgage Servicing, Operational Resilience and IT departments celebrated their success after completing the six-month programme, which also aims to support colleagues’ understanding of career pathways, share best practice, and develop a structured mentorship approach within the Society.
Participants in the programme took part in a variety of modules, had the opportunity to shadow colleagues during the course and were also allocated a mentor to help them develop their skills and careers.
Katrina Stewart, who heads up the programme for the Building Society, said:
“The Amplify programme helps colleagues to gain a breadth of experience across the Society, giving insight into the business and how it works.
“Our commitment to continuous learning means we’re always looking to support colleagues in their development, building capability and helping us to move towards a high-performance culture in which we can all thrive.
“We’re really proud of the eight colleagues who have completed this year’s programme. They’ve all shown amazing talent, determination and a commitment to learning that we hope they carry with them as their career progresses.”
Lexi-Louise Evans, Savings and Customer Contact Associate took part in this year’s programme, said:
“I think the programme has been fantastic. It has pushed me to become a better version of myself and understand my strengths and weaknesses, which is half the battle whilst thinking about career opportunities.
“It has really brought me out of my shell, making me feel empowered and encouraged me to jump on any opportunities that become available. I am not scared of putting myself forward and I have started making the uncomfortable, comfortable.”
