Learning at GSK

We believe self development is everyone's personal responsibility and we ensure that employees have at their disposal, various tools and opportunities to realise their development plans.

Development of soft skills

On-the-job training

This is in the form of rotation and assignments. GSK is committed to making a considerable investment into your development in terms of practical and interpersonal growth, through on-the-job training.

Learning sessions

These are sessions where GSK employees enrol for courses focused on the development of technical and management skills. Our goal is to offer powerful and effective intervention with an organized infrastructure that opens a fast and efficient channel for training staff with materials that are updated periodically as learning needs change.

Library

There is a wide collection of books and other information sources on various subjects available at our in house library with the goal of supporting the development needs of GlaxoSmithKline employees. Topics include best management practice, marketing, communications, current affairs and other organization development topics.

Self-paced learning

Mylearning is an internet based portal where you can enrol into courses. It includes learning courses and resources that are conveyed by electronic means and is self paced whereby employees can develop at their own pace. It permits the instant and continuous transfer of information and instruction to thousands of staff members at the same time.

Sales training

GSK is constantly striving to develop people both professionally and personally.

To achieve this goal, an Initial Training Course (ITC) is held for the newly inducted field force.

Objectives of the ITC are:

1. To help new inductees understand the complete product portfolio
2. To understand the mission, vision and spirit of GSK.

The new inductees are trained on:

1. Business and microbiology foundation.
2. Product knowledge.
3. Excellence in Selling (EIS) competencies which include excelling and territory management.

Once the business and microbiology foundation and product knowledge session is complete, the inductees are assessed.
