We aim to have a learning culture based on a growth mindset and curiosity among our leaders and employees, where learning is embedded in your daily work.

Learning happens continuously through experience, exposure and education. What you do on the job is most important for your learning and development, but knowledge sharing with your colleagues, formal learning programs and sources of self-exploration also support your learning journey. In Hydro we want to make sure that you have a variety of learning methods to choose from that fit your individual learning needs.

Whether you’re an operator, specialist or leader, you get the opportunity to develop your career and build and enhance your skillset. 

Through our ONE Learning system, you can browse through our course catalog to discover courses that are relevant to your development needs, including a vast learning library of high quality external learning content, local and global classroom training, webinars, e-learning, access Leadership library, and more. 

Continuous learning and development through involvement and empowerment 

Your learning and development will be followed up by your leader during the ONE dialogue. The aim is to make sure you can reach your full potential and perform at your best – today and in the future. Through a structured dialogue between you and your leader the following questions will be covered:

• What is expected of me? 
• How am I doing? 
• How can I develop my skills further?  
  

We believe that employees who feel included, have ownership and feel empowered are more content and perform better.
