The Bespoke Project Management Challenge<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sotheby\u2019s were looking for a bespoke project management programme that would enable them to invest their Levy funds into nurturing and developing their in-house talent. They approached various different training providers and universities, but it was The Growth Company and Training Byte Size that provided the right fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Us?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Anna McCafferty, Senior HR Officer, Sotheby\u2019s, explains,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA key requirement was the ability to hold training on-site to maximise programme retention. Our staff work incredibly hard, and we needed a programme that would minimise disruption and deliver the best outcomes for employees and the business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She added,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the very first meeting, the team really listened to what we needed and we felt confident they were the right fit for us. They invested a significant amount of their time and expertise in understanding Sotheby\u2019s and adapting the programme to accommodate our specific business requirements and timescales.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We were also reassured by their proven track record and expertise in working with the Levy system. As an employer that hasn\u2019t navigated the Levy system before, it was important for us to get this right. GC\u2019s personalised, flexible approach, combined with their extensive Levy knowledge and ambition to grow their offer, convinced us that GC was the right company for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased to say that engagement and interest in the programme from Sotheby\u2019s employees has been so high that the course is over-subscribed \u2013 with a waiting list in place for any future cohorts. The current 13-strong cohort were inducted in March and initial feedback is positive, the course will run for the next 12-18 months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Importance Of Employee Development<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sotheby\u2019s pride themselves on the learning and development opportunities that they offer their employees. Anna McCafferty Senior HR Officer, Sotheby\u2019s, thinks that Levy payers shouldn\u2019t let their funds go to waste. Her views echo our own insights, which conclude that there are \u2018real benefits\u2019 on offer to companies who utilise the Levy \u2013 especially to up-skill existing employees through higher-level training programmes. Anna said,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an element of confusion about the system and how to navigate it, but my advice to other Levy\u2013payers is that it is definitely worth pursuing. Our employees are delighted we\u2019ve been able to offer them this opportunity.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If all goes well we hope to roll-out the programme annually, and we wouldn\u2019t hesitate in working with The Growth Company and Training Byte Size in the future on this and our other training needs\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
