"We recognised quickly that the Stairway
Interactive programme provided us with a great
framework to identify quickly and accurately
the activities that our associates undertake and how
these impact on our overall business performance. Stairway Interactive allowed us to view our people development from a different perspective and inspire our leaders and associates to view people development as a tool to increased business performance."

"In Royal Mail we are committed
to developing our people and are
always looking at tools that will
ease this process.

As a business we have performance management
systems and learning platforms but we needed something that went over and above the current capability. We specifically wanted something that could be used by the individuals as a career mapping and development tool as well as for the business that could show at a glance where people currently are, where their aspirations lie and use this to inform intelligent succession planning data and training needs requirements

When were first presented with Stairway Interactive we were immediately impressed and excited by the scope of its functionality and have worked closely with Skills for Logistics in turning this into a workable model that suits the needs of both the Royal Mail business and our individuals. We are now ready to trial the product in our learning community of approx 200 people with the view to rolling it out to the rest of the business in due course, eventually aiming to give access to 180,00 colleagues"

"Our interest in Stairway Interactive was initially
due to the clarity it provided in displaying a
defined and progressive career framework within
the logistics sector.

Whilst our company does not have positions at every step in the Stairway, it allows staff and managers to define where a job role lies, the key skills required for that role and how the skills gap may be addressed. In addition to identifying skills gaps there is a positive effect in terms of showing staff the skills and qualifications required to make the next step in their career."
