Personal development

We encourage our people to take advantage of the many opportunities for personal development and advancement. We provide processes, tools and culture to help you drive your personal and professional development and reach your full potential.

Those who take responsibility for their own advancement are supported with the personal attention you might expect to find in a small company, as well as the resources and commitment available in a large company.

To supplement on-the-job development, we offer extensive, easily accessible training and development resources. You and your manager can draw on these resources to prepare your personal development plan. Offerings include:

Global Leadership Profile
The Johnson & Johnson Global Leadership Profile defines the critical behaviors that characterise and establish effective leadership at all levels of our organisations. This framework serves as a means for self-assessment and supports effective discussion between employees and their managers.

The Global Leadership Profile, with our shared values at its core, promotes a consistent approach to selecting and developing leaders. As the basis of succession and development planning, it provides a pipeline of exceptional talent within and across the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies.
