Development tools

What works for some people, doesn't necessarily work for others, so we've created a range of development options and tools that allow you to choose the ways in which you learn best. We are committed to providing personally tailored training to every one of our employees.


Access2Learning

Access2Learning (A2L) is the Group's online learning portal, providing employees with access to their training and personal learning information.


Group Education Sponsorship Policy

We provide financial assistance to staff undertaking professional or vocational qualifications when the qualifications provide a clear business benefit and ensure an improved level of individual performance.

MBA Sponsorship

The Group may offer sponsorship to those staff meeting the criteria for MBA programmes. Decisions to offer sponsorship are held at Managing Director level within the business.

Performance Management Cycle

Every employee at The Royal Bank of Scotland Group should have at least one formal review during the year. During this review, you will discuss and agree your objectives for the year, and identify the tools and processes that will help you to achieve these objectives. During the year your performance should be developed and measured against these objectives. Not only does this give you a clear idea of what you should be striving for, but it allows both of us to easily measure your performance.
