Competency Framework & Key Account Manager (KAM) development programme

Built by our teams for our teams, we have a bespoke set of competencies that define what good looks like in Ferring UK and Ireland. These competencies are specific to roles across the organisation and describe in detail the skill level to help our people understand where they are and how to they get to that next level.

We measure these competencies three times a year, to ensure our people have regular training, coaching and development.

Our competency specific trainings are a blend of classroom trainings and digital content, coaching and other development to help our people develop their skills and build their careers as they take the transferable competencies across roles, functions and from country, region and global perspectives
