Portal Training, founded in 2010, is much more than a bilingual training provider with a proven track record across the education, business, sport, and charity sectors. Supporting over 500 professionals, the organisation delivers high-impact training that drives real and lasting change. Crucially, Portal Training’s dedication to its own people is truly inspirational, a commitment that has earned them the Investors in People Platinum and We Invest in Wellbeing Gold Accreditations.

Its employee engagement strategy is built on the core values of striving to be brilliant, having fun as a great team, showing respect, and being open and honest. This is actively cultivated through clear and open communication, exemplified by monthly wellbeing updates and the regular all-staff internal communications, Pick Me Up & Round Up, which cover health, fitness, and financial wellbeing. The commitment to holistic employee support is evident in the organisation’s comprehensive approach to physical, psychological, and social health, driven by the volunteer Wellbeing Working Group.

Initiatives are specific and impactful. Employees benefit from the Healthcare cash plan scheme and My Healthy Advantage App for personalised tools. Furthermore, the commitment to open dialogue is institutionalised through Gender-Specific Talking Groups—safe spaces for empathetic discussion. Portal Training also backs up its dedication to work-life balance with a significant 60.7% increase to statutory annual leave and a day off on your birthday. With annual Learning and Development Days and the Portal Leader programme developing future talent, this organisation ensures every colleague is not only supported but empowered to thrive.

Quote from the top...
There are a few quotes that drive our motivations and actions at Portal, one of them being 'You should always look after those who look after you'.We’ve tried to embody this saying, as we know the quality of what we deliver and the warmth of the company emanate from the team. We need to look after them just as passionately as they look after the company. Life throws a few hurdles in the road for us all, and we need to support everyone with empathy and compassion.
