Learning and development

Maintaining and developing our competitive edge means constantly supporting, coaching and developing our people. We’ve invested heavily in our dedicated Learning and Development team to do exactly this.

It’s our goal to create a culture of learning, action, innovation and autonomy through a diverse range of learning opportunities, performance management and new initiatives. Regular performance development reviews combined with ongoing training and a commitment to promoting internally deliver the right career solutions to our ambitious people.

Elsevier strives to hire talented people - it is the talent that you bring with you to our business that we want to tap into. We want to help you unleash your potential and talent by providing opportunities to hone skills learnt through previous experiences, along with developing new knowledge and skills for your career.

Coaching - by peers, managers and external coaches - assists you in discovering for yourself what you can do and achieve.

Informal mentoring - from managers in other parts of the global business - may provide you with information and advice on a particular project or objective you are striving to achieve.

Workplace training - knowledge and skills that you develop whilst doing your job – is very valuable, whether it be through the team, wider networks or self-learning.

Through formal training - whether centrally driven, bespoke Elsevier courses, management programmes or external classes - we aim to always find the best fit of development intervention that matches the individual’s requirement.

Dedicated Learning & Development individuals within the business act as a resource for all employees, to advise and support on specific needs. Whilst the global Talent Management team works with the business and Human Resources in identifying the key enterprise talent that will keep the business succesful, developing and managing both roles and people.

We appreciate that the skills, knowledge and attitudes that you learn during your career at Elsevier are transferable into future jobs and other parts of your life. We aim to help you continually develop, no matter what role you are in or how long you maintain your career with Elsevier.
