We grow talents

It is better to train people and risk they leave – than do nothing and they stay.'

- Michael Holm, President & CEO of Systematic

People are the lifeblood of Systematic, and their talents and commitment are our most important asset. Our employees don’t just make a difference; they make the difference between failure and success for Systematic.
 
This is why we want to give you the opportunity to grow your talent and become even better at what you do. And also to become an even more valuable member of a team dedicated to developing software solutions and products that make a difference to our customers by simplifying critical decision making.

Investing in developing competences

Every employee is an individual talent with unique competences, and it’s vital that our employees thrive, at the same time as evolving professionally as well as personally. In 2008/09, our training expenditure amounted to 6% of Systematic’s overall salary costs.

Two annual appraisals

Every employee participates in two annual appraisal interviews. These provide opportunities for mutual feedback on recent performance as well as for discussing career development wishes with a view to a personal development plan.

We encourage talent development

We encourage our employees to acquire new skills as well as formal certification of their capabilities. Our structure for doing this includes a well-structured incentive programme featuring one-off bonuses, pay supplements and reductions in work hours in conjunction with training and certification programmes.

New employees often achieve one or more certifications within their first three months at Systematic – most being related to Microsoft, Java and Oracle technologies. These allow them to participate in a wide range of projects.

Maintaining skill sets

The majority of Systematic employees have a higher education, but know-how has to be updated and refreshed on a continuous basis if it is to remain useful.

We value a high standard of professional excellence via public-sector training as well as specialist courses held both in-house and externally. In conjunction with training that takes place in the public sector, Systematic pays the necessary fees and purchases the course materials and literature relevant for each employee’s use.
