Your manager
Your manager is there to support, advise, and guide you on what is best for you and for the business. He or she will help determine your best next role and identify development opportunities.

Individual Development Plan
Your individual development plan is something you prepare and share with your manager. You and your manager review this quarterly to help you identify any skills you need to improve or develop and to meet your current work commitment and future career aspirations. During these reviews your manager can help you formulate a plan to progress your career with the Company.

Mentoring
Baker Hughes encourages all employees to have mentors as it is great way to learn from others. In fact, most people benefit from having several mentors in different areas such as career growth, technical knowledge, and enhancing business and client awareness.

Communities of Practice
If you ever face any professional challenges, an excellent source of support is a Communities of Practice. Members are made up of professionals and managers who are involved in similar projects. In a Community of Practice, you'll find existing resources on a wide range of issues and best practices, as well as be able to ask the community questions on specific topics or business issues through online technology.

Training Centers
We believe in Learning – it’s one of our Core Values. It’s important to get the right training for your job and for successful career advancement. Learning is a value engrained in the fabric of this Company, and so, we offer dedicated, state-of-the art facilities designed to meet your training needs. These facilities are located in various locations throughout the world. Baker Hughes has a new center opening in the UAE in 2007.

On-demand learning
Continuing education is essential to our success, allowing us to develop new initiatives, re-skill our workforce, and address key industry issues. But, we recognize that it is challenging to find time for formal face-to-face learning. That's why we created LearnLink – an on-demand, online learning system, which enables employees to learn according to their schedules and priorities. It also enables us to recommend learning to employees based on their individual needs or development plan.
