Training and Development
We hire the best people, and we invest in their continued development. We offer our employees opportunities to learn and grow their talents. Our training and development programs reflect our business priorities and give employees the skills they need to advance at Motorola Mobility. In 2012, we invested $1 million globally on internal training and development with programs such as instructor-led training, e-learning and online instructor-led classes. We also launched a successful First Line Manager workshop using a Blended Learning approach. Outside suppliers deliver most of our learning programs.
ONGOING DEVELOPMENT
Our Integrated Talent Management approach provides a critical link between performance, dialogue, development and rewards. It provides a framework for employees and managers to discuss performance as well as development opportunities.
DEVELOPING LEADERS
In 2012, we introduced a new development program for line managers, equipping them with the skills to manage people effectively. We are also reviewing our entire leadership development curriculum. The aim is for the program to continue to tie in closely with our business needs, while developing employees’ skills consistently across the company.
While we offer resources to help employees develop leadership skills, we also want them to take initiative for their own professional development. Employees can access an online leadership portal that contains podcasts of leadership stories, management videos, success case studies and links to useful websites.
FINANCIAL REWARDS
We reward employees for their hard work through compensation programs tied to individual and business goals. Our programs and practices reward superior performance on an individual, business segment and overall Company level and provide long-term incentives to employees in roles critical to our future. Our Equity awards recognize strategic potential and criticality of the role to the Company
Annual reviews of compensation packages keep them in line with market rates. For more information on how we distribute resources equitably among stockholders, the business and employees, please see our annual report. annual report.
