“PDG invested in my growth and development. The senior staff took the time to teach and train me to be a better consultant and provide my clients with advice in a clear and meaningful way.”

“Prioritises continuous learning and upgrading of skills”

“PDG is committed to advancing employee career development, especially for young consultants. Through the learning and development, I was able to significantly expand my professional skills.”

“I appreciate that there’s a budget for learning and development, even for interns! In most cases this is restricted to permanent staff. So to have that and being encouraged to pursue your own learning and development.”

“Access to many training and individual growth opportunities, including mentorship and coaching programmes”

“I valued the opportunity for growth and upward mobility, which is fostered through supervisor relationships and Personal Development Plans. “

“I valued that PDG invests in its employees by providing opportunities for training and skills development”

“PDG provides as much support as a consultant needs to develop their skills while continuously encouraging and providing the opportunities for rapid advancement in your field and in the organisation. A robust personal development, mentorship and constructive performance management system as well as frequent check-ins with directors support your professional growth and ensure you are on track to achieving your goals.”

“I’ve seen performance management gone so badly wrong in other places. At PDG, I am incentivised to do what I do well, and to get better at it. Our “Value Drivers” approach to performance assessment and promotion is clear enough but also flexible enough and has been facilitating my professional development and growth over seasons of just entering the profession; new parenthood; studying part-time (with PDG funding); stepping into junior management; and serving in a leadership role in my profession nationally. While not all PDGers find the performance structure to be such a “natural fit”, on the whole I think it produces corporate outcomes that are healthier than almost anywhere else that I am aware of.”
