At Tech Data, we believe that our people are our competitive advantage and the organization’s biggest asset. As such, we are committed to, first, bringing in the right talent, and second, giving them every opportunity to develop and grow into organizational leaders. We believe that by doing this, we can improve Tech Data’s performance and provide value to all of our stakeholders.
As our business continues to grow, we are establishing more processes and procedures for colleague recognition, leadership development and continued learning. To help drive advancements in these areas, Tech Data instituted a Global Integrated Talent Management Framework to create a culture of learning, driven by colleagues and supported in our overall business strategy.
Talent Attraction
In order to stay competitive in the market, we hire talented individuals who support our shared values and align with our corporate culture. In addition to providing competitive benefits and compensation, we believe that our culture sets us apart. We strive to foster a culture of servant leadership in which organizational success is achieved through the growth and development of our colleagues. One way we attract the best talent is through our award-winning internship program. Interns are part of the team and provide hands-on, educational and practical experiences that make a real impact on our business.
Talent Development
Tech Data’s talent development practices are rooted in our business strategy, shared values and culture. We believe that these elements need to work together in order to form a strong organization. We are augmenting our talent development process through new programs with leadership training and colleague recognition. Recently we’ve instituted the following to help support our ongoing development efforts:
- New global colleague recognition programs centered on peer-to-peer appreciation, real-time recognition and our organization’s shared values
- Leadership Academy programs to build a culture of “servant leadership”
- A training and development platform with courses, audiobooks and videos for continued learning, available for all colleagues
