Learning and Organisational Development Programme

Mentoring Programme

We have our own internal Mentoring Programme available for all colleagues. Mentoring is a relationship between two people with the goal of professional and personal development. The mentors are our very own Heads Of and Directors sharing their experience and knowledge to help colleagues (mentees) grow and learn in the areas they want to develop in.

Onboarding Programme

It’s important to introduce all new starters to the business, so we lay on a variety of activities within your first six weeks of joining. You will learn and hear from our CEO about our strategy and vision and receive a warm welcome from HR, who will detail our extensive benefits programme and more. You’ll also be invited to a workshop all about building healthy digital habits. This programme aims to make sure that all new starters will feel prepared to start their role at Catalyst. We want new colleagues to the business to feel included, valued and motivated.

This can be either; volunteering or a fun team building activity.
