Professional Development Plans
Start maximising human performance
When it comes to firm growth, it’s seldom a question of “how”. Far more often, it’s a question of “who”. Who are the people with the ambition to turn orders into action? Have they been given the skills? Or, more importantly, the motivation to keep working under your wing? Because today, over 70% of high-retention-risk employees will leave to further their careers, meaning that the disruption of onboarding is sure to repeat. And repeat again.
The solution: Start upskilling.
Companies with strong learning cultures experience between a 30-50% increase in team retention. This means that giving employees the tools to leave is, counterintuitively, the best way to make them stay. But career growth isn’t a one-size-fits-all affair – neither for your firm nor the individuals who man it. That’s why we at Ab2 have curated comprehensive, often ground-breaking suites of Professional Development Plans (PDPs) that aim to bring your team up to the very best of their abilities. Because when firm owners invest in their teams, they invest back into the firm twice-, thrice-, infinite-fold through maximised human performance that’s keen on the long-term.
Founded on four pillars, our PDPs cover technical, compliance, leadership, and success skills to upscale your team’s professional capabilities, boost retention and cultivate profitable company cultures.
We tailor packages to fit your firm needs by taking the time to understand your business, its roadblocks, and the best way forward through:
Leadership
Grow confidence and build on pre-established skills for greater team autonomy, from regional managers to the CEO.
Success
So often the day-to-day essentials are undervalued. Success skills train critical employee abilities, from communications to capacity management.
Compliance
A deeper dive in adherence to firm mandates, tax, and regulating authority law.
Technical
Start a new chapter in your team member’s career with foundational and advanced certified accounting and software courses, 100% made for the industry.
So, what do you get?
Total access to our PDP offering, tailored by real industry professionals to your team’s individual upskilling needs, that cover an array of professional topics (many of which can only be found at Ab2). Courses within this professional development offering will contribute towards achieving your annual CPD requirement. Plus, all the benefits of bespoke onboarding with none of the heavy lifting.
Let’s look at the 3-step process
- Discovery Call
Here we come to you to run through a detailed diagnostic of your firm. Looking at your people and their capabilities; your leadership and firm culture; plus your client experience and growth, we’ll explore your business objectives, pain points and any gaps together. - Peak Performance Plan
Results from the Discovery Call are analysed and crafted into a custom-built Peak Performance Plan (PPP). This shows you where you are and where you could be, with the steps mapped out to get you there. - Professional Development
And as people are the lifeblood of all you do, we focus on developing role-aligned and firm-specific training solutions for each key role. Individual assessments are carried out with your firm members – ascertaining their career goals and any training needs they have.
Combining these three steps can truly change the trajectory of your business.
