IV. Training and Professional<br />

Development<br />

<strong>The</strong> Finance Department supports staff<br />

development within our budget. Clearly,<br />

Finance Department employees have a<br />

responsibility to keep up-to-date with<br />

developments through private study. Where<br />

formal training is appropriate, we will provide<br />

training courses from our own resources.<br />

We can provide managerial and organizational<br />

training for courses like Supervisory Skills,<br />

Presentation Skills, Time & Stress Management,<br />

Creative Problem Solving & Decision Making,<br />

Leadership & Team Building, Effective<br />

Project Management, Developing Emotional<br />

Intelligence for the Workplace, Mastering<br />

Business & Financial Modeling.<br />

We have also created a cumulative training<br />

plan for our staff as follows:<br />

Step 1: Professional Development Program<br />

(PDP): Qualified senior staff members<br />

nominated by the department manager are<br />

selected to coach and train staff members,<br />

and each coach has one trainee. <strong>The</strong> selected<br />

coaches carry out training session and<br />

evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of<br />

their students. Based on any weaknesses,<br />

they can schedule external training courses in<br />

coordination with the Development & Training<br />

Section.<br />

Step 2: External Training: the Development &<br />

Training Section handles communication with<br />

external training sources to schedule external<br />

training.<br />

PDP coaches, the Development & Training<br />

Section and the external training institution<br />

are integrated to form a comprehensive<br />

development program so that staff members<br />

can reach their full potential.<br />
