Professional Development
At Arcaplanet, we are convinced that every individual contribution actively supports business growth.
Every day, we support our people in their professional development through dedicated growth programmes based on individual ambitions and career paths, built around three key pillars:
- Career journey: we structure career paths around clear and achievable objectives and personalised incentives, enabling people to develop new skills.
- Academy: we have always organised training courses to develop our employees’ soft and hard skills.
- Communication: we give all our people a voice, encouraging everyone to propose new ideas and projects. To support this, we have created an internal community platform for sharing ideas, opinions and experiences.
We have specific tools to accelerate career paths:
- Retail programme: we train our employees on all products, their characteristics and customer service through our e-learning platform.
- Management training: we organise courses dedicated to developing the skills required for coordination roles.
- Talent development programmes: we offer programmes dedicated to developing skills and capabilities, supporting career progression across both retail and corporate functions.
- Personalised training: we support our employees through on-the-job training and specific courses to develop their knowledge and skills, including in preparation for cross-functional career paths.
- Mentoring/coaching: we create programmes to help and support our people in their professional choices.
- Days in store: we continue to organise and implement days spent alongside colleagues in the field to support business development.
- Shadowing/cross-functional activities: we organise opportunities for colleagues from different business units to exchange ideas and experiences, improving communication and organisational awareness.
For us, teamwork is extremely important: this is why our Pet Specialists enjoy working as a team, interacting with colleagues and working together to enhance the well-being of pets and their Pet Parents, while respecting the communities and territories in which we operate.
