Broadlake Development Framework

At the heart of our success is our people. To support their growth, we’ve embedded a bespoke Talent Development Framework, designed in partnership with Harvest, across our group of companies. This framework empowers over 400 leaders and managers with the skills and confidence to realise their potential and seize career opportunities within the group. 

Grounded in our S.W.A.F. principle (skill, will, ambition, fit), the framework meets individuals where they are, offering tailored development through 10 interactive modules focused on collaboration, practical tools, and real-world application.

The result is consistent development, clear career pathways, and strong succession planning, ensuring our people grow as we grow. Their journey is further supported by our Group Talent Mobility Framework, which opens up career opportunities across the full Broadlake portfolio.
