Career development

The key to development

The key to growth is collaboration, not internal competition. Sparke Helmore's focus on collaboration means individual heroics are discouraged and development and client opportunities are shared.

At Sparke Helmore:

  • We value each individual as highly as our clients and give them opportunities to be challenged, stretch and grow;
  • Our practice groups work as national teams, sharing knowledge and opportunities;
  • Our experts pass on their skills and experience to help others succeed.

Our career management principles

Each of these principles underpin our commitment to the career growth of our employees:

  • Your career success matters

Our commitment to supporting you in reaching your career goals will help you grow as an individual and strengthen our Firm as you find new ways to contribute to the business.

  • Career diversity is important

You have your own definition of career success. We value such career diversity and support your efforts to explore and manage your career in different ways, recognizing that the approach and the results will be unique to you.

  • Career growth is broad

Career growth may encompass developing a critical skill, enhancing a current job, making a lateral job change, reducing or changing current responsibilities, or seeking a promotion. We are open and committed to exploring all of these directions and more.

  • Career management is a shared responsibility

Career management will only succeed if it is a partnership between employees, their manager, and the Firm. This partnership is the critical foundation underlying all the steps, processes, tools, and decisions guiding careers at Sparke Helmore. While each of us must take a leadership role in managing our own career, it is critical that we work together to provide a supportive environment in which we can all reach our full potential.
