From day one, you will join our induction programme, known as the Puratos Welcome Journey. Over the first 6 months of this programme, we will introduce you to our company history, culture, products, and customer approach, as well as teaching you about our commitments to you and future generations. You will also meet key stakeholders, and will be supported by an experienced mentor along the way.
At Puratos, we believe in long-term goals even more than quick wins. As such, once your welcome journey has come to an end, you will benefit from the continued support of our internal and external networks, where all our employees can share their combined knowledge. Applying best practices and making the most of our innovations and capabilities along the way will also help you succeed.
Our in-house Puratos University allows all employees to build their own signature learning experience, which covers both technical competencies and “soft” skills. We want to enable our future leaders to develop into passionate ambassadors of the Puratos culture. We understand the importance of diversity along your career path, which is why we developed a model that enables you to choose to further develop your skills in either an expert or managerial capacity. All our employees can therefore take on more responsibility and continue to grow their careers in the direction they choose.
