TALENT ACQUISITION

‘ One Company, Many Experiences’ is the philosophy at the heart of Cisco’ s training strategy, providing an individualised, worker-centric framework. In doing so, the company empowers employees to co-design their daily roles and to utilise a proprietary data platform, Team Space. The system works by prompting weekly check-ins where team employees can express their specific weekly priorities, share their personal breakthroughs and raise any immediate support needs. By providing a focus on individual perspectives, managers are able to curate unique responsibilities based on an employee’ s intrinsic strengths rather than their job title. Cisco also has its own internal marketplace to allow employees to allocate parts of their weekly working hours to projects that interest them. By giving its workforce control over their continuous learning, project selection and daily workplace flexibility, Cisco regularly ranks at the apex of global employee experience indices. By taking this approach, Cisco highlights that scale doesn’ t require standardisation, allowing thousands of global workers to experience a unique work environment tailored to their personal lives and shifting career aspirations.
