10 to Grow: how TOPdesk invests in your personal development
This is fun, so let’s get straight down to business! 10 to Grow means that at TOPdesk you can spend 10% of your contract hours plus 10% of your full-time gross annual salary on personal development. So, you have the time and budget for training courses, masterclasses, books, seminars, and the like. In short – everything you need to let your talent grow and flourish.
10 to Grow: from software knowledge to coaching
Generous revisions to TOPdesk’s personal development budget were announced at the Annual Meeting NL 2022. And boy, are we happy about it! We asked several TOPdeskers about the skills they were keen to explore or develop further using 10 to Grow.
While in the marketing department, colleagues want to learn how to write better or study photography or Photoshop, our Developers are often dreaming of brushing up their knowledge of new software and technologies. Or what about a course that teaches our team coordinators how to successfully coach their team? In a few extra hours a week, you follow exactly the training that will not only help you but also your colleagues. And thus TOPdesk!
Your epic journey starts here
Why is TOPdesk investing in 10 to Grow? Because it’s totally TOPdesk! At TOPdesk, we encourage each other to get the best out of ourselves.
