People at the heart of the development

At Premier Tech, we value human potential. It has been at the heart of our Values, along with teamwork, since day one.

It is with that in mind and following the implementation of our strategic plan VISION 2017 that we have created, in 2015, our own training centre, the University of Premier Tech (UPT). which features a team focused on the development and training of team members.

As part of VISION 2027, we wanted to strengthen the scope and alignment of our commitment to team members’ development. We have therefore developed a three-year strategy considering both Premier Tech and team members’ ambitions.

“We gathered the key elements of VISION 2027 and initiated conversations with our teams, which gave us various perspectives. We analyzed the conversations from the collaborative platform used in the strategic planning process. We also collected responses to a development and training survey from some 900 team members. Moreover, the annual survey allowed team members across the world to share their experience on various aspects, including workplace wellness,” says Sylvie Massé, vice-president organizational development.

These conversations have deepened our reflection and our strategy toward 2025. We have built our strategy on this solid foundation, focusing on four key areas.

Visibility on our talents

The visibility on our talents is essential as it gives us an overview of the potential and talent diversity of our team members. It also ensures that our strategic orientations align with the knowledge and skills required to meet those goals.

Knowledge management

Knowledge management is important within a company with roles as diverse and specialized as ours. We have implemented initiatives to better identify fundamental knowledge related to our industries and, most importantly, to transfer it to the next generation of team members, securing it for the long term.

Career opportunities

Career opportunities must be visible. By supporting our team members in better identifying and understanding their interests, as well as their professional goals, and offering them visibility into career and development opportunities at Premier Tech, we will help them to better align with their aspirations.« X ».

Team member empowerment

Team member empowerment is fundamental at Premier Tech. Every team member is accountable for their own professional development. Premier Tech is committed to providing everyone with an overview of the learning ecosystem, as well as the tools and resources available, empowering team members in that process. Each team member is then responsible for seizing opportunities that align with both their professional ambitions and the strategic objectives of the company.

“These key areas have all been identified as promising, supported by action plans either already implemented this year or planned for the year ahead. We are confident that this strategy will support the growth and ambitions of the company, while contributing to the professional fulfillment of the members of the Premier Tech Team.”— Sylvie Massé.

Launch of sustainability training courses

This year, Premier Tech expanded the digital offer of UPT with two new sustainability training courses, namely “Sustainability” and “Planet”. Two other trainings, “People” and “Prosperity”, will be launched in the near future. The sustainability training path offers insights into our three sustainability spheres and our main impact areas. The Planet training focuses on specific environmental aspects such as green house gas, ecodesign and residual material management. These interactive trainings are designed to strengthen understanding, foster engagement and provide team members with a shared vocabulary on sustainability.
