Investing in employee growth and success
We recognize that each IBMer plays a vital role in our collective success, and we are dedicated to providing the resources, training and feedback necessary for personal and professional growth. We believe that by investing in our employees, we not only enhance individual performance but also strengthen our entire team and achieve our shared goals.
Together, we cultivate a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We believe that sharing candid feedback is essential to helping our employees develop their skills and elevate their performance, which is critical to our ability to transform and evolve. Our Performance Development strategy establishes a clear framework for performance so every IBMer knows what is expected of them, how they are performing against those expectations and what they need to do to improve, ensuring consistency and transparency.
We are continuously transforming and developing our talent through a combination of skill-based hiring and advanced learning to build an AI-first enterprise. In 2025, we focused on adding skills in key areas such as consulting and technical expertise, while also scaling our capacity in strategically important markets and workflows. We’re committed to upskilling and reskilling our workforce, with a strong emphasis on AI skilling, and our digital learning and career platforms are designed to provide employees with the resources they need to build strategic skills and advance their careers. We strive to help all employees build new capabilities and create career mobility along their professional journeys.
