The best in the business

We enable you to develop the behaviours and skills to help everyone achieve more.

Behaviours are the foundation of leadership in Jackson

 We invest in developing employees’ awareness, understanding, and advocacy of business behaviours to enable them to develop rewarding and successful careers that contribute to our team’s success.

We implement a business-wide behavioural programme for all employees that also helps to identify potential future leaders of the business. It’s an important part of day-to-day life here but it has a management and career value too.

We provide all employees with insights profiling and feedback within six months of starting with us. Team and individual behaviours are also actively tracked through regular performance reviews and the HR team provide ‘Behaviours in Action’ sessions to bring the Jackson behavioural blueprint to life.

For all projects over £5m we also run behaviours start-up sessions to embed the approach from day one and align the team with the project goals.

Great leaders keep learning.

Leadership aspirations

Our Aspiring Leaders programme identifies the leaders of the future, giving you the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for taking the business further.

The programme comprises a series of workshops exploring themes and skills in leadership. It combines support for those new to managerial positions and development for more experienced people managing teams and developing the business culture.

Aspiring leaders learn how to adopt strategic attitudes and manage in a focussed and productive way. They also learn how to develop leadership styles, how to manage for performance and how to develop and implement plans that will contribute toward the company’s growth.

Developing high performance

The next stage on the journey, our leadership development programme broadens developing leaders’ skills enabling them to build high performance teams in the business.

Through additional workshops with follow-up sessions, it explores specific leadership development skills including increased definition of leadership style, developing team behaviours, increasing team engagement and the stakeholder collaboration needed for success.

Senior Leadership Team development and coaching

Our senior leadership team meets throughout the year – both onsite and offsite – to review progress, share challenges, and support ongoing development. We also invite our behavioural specialist to selected sessions to deepen our leadership capability and ensure our growth aligns with both individual needs and the wider goals of the business.

Sessions go in depth to uncover and address development needs and coach everyone on the team on their continued leadership of the business.

At Jackson we are truly committed to investing in our staff to provide them the best opportunities to develop with the business. This is not just a strap line but something we truly believe in. I joined Jackson as a Site Agent in 2001 and gained the right balance of experience and responsibility that allowed me to progress through the ranks to Managing Director in 2019.

Brian Crofton – Managing Director

The business is agile and has moved into different industry sectors over the years. This, in turn, has presented opportunities to staff and, importantly, provided time to support career development - fully utilising people’s skills and ensuring we maximise benefits to our clients.

Richard Barnes – Strategic Client Director

Introducing Senior Leadership Team coaching has helped us build a more reflective, inclusive, and connected leadership team in which I feel a valued member. We use our differences as a strength to lead Jackson with clarity and confidence.
