Professional and Personal Growth
One of our Nokia values is renewal. Employees at Nokia have a willingness to change and develop. The environment in which we do business is evolving continuously. To succeed, we must have the passion and courage to look for new ideas beyond existing products, services and ways of working.
Only with truly innovative ideas will we be able to define the future development of our industry and profoundly shape the way in which people understand and use mobility in their everyday lives.
Commitment to Self-development
People at Nokia continuously look for ways to improve their performance in order to stay at the forefront of technology and to develop their own competencies. Employees are encouraged to create their own development plan and take advantage of the variety of available learning solutions and methods. On-the-job learning is also heavily encouraged.
Coaching
Coaching is regarded as a vital part of continuous learning. Highly skilled colleagues at Nokia provide our employees with rich sources of experience and knowledge. Receiving coaching and participating in different teams will fuel employees' development as well as give them the opportunity, every day, to share ideas and goals with innovators and industry leaders.
Learning Solutions and Training
Our employees have access to a wide variety of training activities. Through our global network of Learning Centers, we aim to offer a consistent standard of training and development to all our people. The Learning Market Place Intranet contains information on all Nokia's learning solutions including e-learning as well as classroom training.
Management Training
At Nokia, we place particular focus on developing managers in management and leadership skills. It is one of the key areas in competence development. There is a full range of training available from new managers' programs to senior programs for our more experienced people.
Internal Job Market
All of our employees are invited to look at the job opportunities available inside Nokia. All vacancies, with the exception of very senior positions, are advertised internally. Employees are encouraged to improve their competencies through changing their positions. Internal job opportunities, the possibility to register to our internal candidate pool and other services for job-seeking inside the company are available through the Internal Job Market Intranet. The aim is to give Nokia people the opportunity to manage their own careers.
Performance Management
Nokia has created a successful perfomance management system across the whole company called Investing In People (IIP). This system is closely aligned to the company strategy and planning processes and involves biannual formalized discussions between employees and their managers.
Employees are encouraged to be active and to "own" their IIP. In this way, employees always understand what is expected from them, how their individual achievements support the Nokia overall strategy, and how they are rewarded.
