People in my team go out of their way to help me

I feel that my manager talks openly and honestly with me
In the last year, it has introduced a managers' development programme for all managers. This was delivered across six months in bitesize modules; these covered key topics such as managing teams, coaching conversations, and managing change. Key contemporary themes such as hybrid working and individuals' SDI profiles ran through each of the sessions.

I am at the start of my AAT journey and it’s already very clear to me that our people are central to our success, and their engagement is one of my top priorities. Through listening to colleagues, responding to feedback and having a shared purpose, we will continue to build on our strong inclusive culture and make AAT an even greater place to work.
