Learning at Equifax
Like in most organisations, much of what helps us develop our skills, capabilities and behaviours, is learnt ‘on the job’. This approach to development is commonly known as the 70/20/10 principle. In real terms, this means you gain 70 percent of your learning and knowledge from job-related experiences, 20 percent from interactions with others, and 10 percent from formal learning events.
Once you’ve completed your induction, you will have access to a range of learning opportunities including our learning portal which contains videos, courses and reading for you to undertake as and when you need, as well as formal workshops and virtual sessions scheduled throughout the year.
- Exposure to projects, new types of work or clients, collaborating, problem solving, self-directed learning or even on projects, can all provide valuable opportunities to learn, stretch and challenge yourself. This contributes to the 70%.
- Learning from colleagues, managers, role models, mentors or coaches makes up the 20%.
- The last 10% is acquired through the traditional and formal structured learning that you may find in workshops, virtual sessions or formal coaching and mentoring programs.
