C-academy – talent development
Launched in 2022, the C-academy is a specialised training platform facilitating internal and external training for employees at all levels with the aim of promoting lifelong learning and fostering the growth of our workforce’s talents.
In 2024, we plan to take our commitment to lifelong learning to the next level by implementing a new learning management system and having a dedicated team whose role it is to make sure that our employees can participate in the training to help them advance in their careers.
Talent development
“Be better every day” is one of our values we’re acting upon with high priority. Talent Development is one of the key levers to live up to this value.
In 2023 we were able to report on these KPI’s for almost all entities of the group.
While the number of total training hours increased, the average number of training hours per employee decreased.
This is linked to adding more entities and countries to the scope of reporting.
When comparing the 2022 and 2023 KPI’s for the same scope (majority of Belgian entities), we end up at the same result as last year: 11.4 h/ employee.

Career development
At Cordeel, there are continuous – more informal – feedback moments throughout the year.
It’s also our ambition that all employees receive one formal performance review annually.
In 2023 we changed from evaluations written on paper to a digital format. 63% of employees* received a formal annual performance review.
For 2024 we slightly adapted the process to increase the user experience. We expect that this will lead to an increased percentage of formal evaluations.
We also prefer internal promotions over new hires, so before publishing new vacancies, we always check whether there’s a good fit within our own organisation.
*scope: most Belgian entities (1465 employees) –> coverage: 76.2% of total employees
