We did it again! For the second year in a row, Wellington College China has received HR Asia's 'Best Companies to Work for in Asia' Award. This further underscores our commitment to providing a workplace that cultivates talent and inspires all employees to develop and excel professionally.
"This award is testament to our team's commitment to make Wellington College China a fantastic place to work," said Wellington College China Founder and Chairman Joy Qiao. "We are proud to have built a vibrant community where pupils and staff alike strive to achieve excellence and well-roundedness in everything they do. We will celebrate the success today. And we will continue to stride forward and make it a better place to work for everyone."
The 'Best Companies to Work for in Asia' Award is different from other HR awards. HR Asia is the region's most authoritative publication for senior HR professionals. It is the culmination of a thorough survey that assesses several important factors, such as employee engagement level and satisfaction rate; talent recruitment, retainment, training and development; work-life balance; and employee communication.
We believe that HR Asia has recognised us once again because people are our number one asset. We invest in their success and recognise their contributions with annual awards for performance and long-term service.
We also nurture success. Our continuing professional development programmes provide paths for middle, senior and high-potential leaders. 60% of all participants have identified clear career trajectories at Wellington and are being developed into these future leadership roles. Additionally, we offer a world-class range of programmes that promote professional development in anything from academics and teaching methodologies to team building and cultural awareness. Our senior leaders benefit from a professional coach who works closely with them to support their professional development goals. We also place great value on employee wellbeing, offering access to counseling for staff and their families.
Of course, there is no better endorsement of a Wellington career than words of our own employees.
Cathy Hu, Huili School Nantong
As a founding team member, I was given the opportunity to be involved in various projects to open the new school. I had no prior school experience, so I benefitted immensely from my first year here and learned a lot about how a school operates.
Martin O'Brien,
Wellington College International Shanghai
Being new to a senior management position, I have found it useful to continue with one-on-one coaching by an experienced leader within the group, and this is an element of the programme that has provided me with the necessary tools and experience to fulfil my role to the full potential.
Dragana Popovic,
Wellington College China, Huili Institute of Learning
I was fortunate to be provided consistent support throughout, which led me to where I am now as a leader. In the early days as Head of Senior School, I was assigned a mentor who himself was an excellent leader and experienced educator. He, along with my coach, assisted me in establishing standards and developing the Senior Schools while guiding me on my leadership journey.
Angela Zhou,
Huili Nursery Hangzhou
I was well looked after during this learning journey. All the courses were very carefully chosen for me, relevant to my personal development and readily applicable to my work. The CPD opportunities have made me a better leader. I have greater empathy for my colleagues and am better equipped to identify my team's strengths and weaknesses.
