Our Development 

Just as Goodwood the business aspires to be the ‘World’s leading luxury experience’ for our customers, we aspire to be the ‘World’s best place to work...’ for our people.

As we are dedicated to achieving this, we participate in the Best Companies Sunday Times list for their accreditation. We first registered in 2013 and received an encouraging ‘One to Watch’ status in the 2014 and 2015 lists. Our team are surveyed annually by Best Companies to honestly appraise what it is like to work for Goodwood and we use this information to focus our efforts going forward, to help realise our bold aspiration.

Your Development

We take learning and development seriously and want our team to be the best they can be, whatever their role, skills or background. 

We understand that some people wish to further their careers, and others simply want to do a good job. Whatever the aspiration, we have the following range of activities to develop our team of engaged and talented people.

• Group induction and personalised induction programme
• Annual performance reviews
• Development plans
• Department visits
• Internal department secondments
• External experiences
• Buddy coaching and mentoring
• Team development
• On the job training
• Educational sponsorship
• Internal and external training courses
• Management and Leadership Development programmes

We also have a competency framework, the Goodwood Framework, which is closely linked to our vision and values. The framework offers a structure, plus clarity and guidance as to what is expected from our people in order to make them successful - as well as providing a tool for proactive personal development. Every role has a framework level assigned to each competency so that everyone knows what is expected from them.
