Network Rail is one of the UKs best known national brands, their mission to run a safe, reliable and efficient railway, serving customers and communities across Britain. That means running, repairing and developing 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations across England, Scotland and Wales. They also manage 20 of the country’s largest stations.
We caught up with Tamarra Taylor (Tam), Discipline Manager in the CFO Directorate to understand why Network Rail have chosen to use comaea for their competency management and how they have found the experience. Network Rail’s immediate need was to build skills frameworks for their Project Management community, enabling them to identify career steps and development areas. They quickly saw that it was useful for other functions to
do the same, enabling them to conduct workforce assessments and analytics. They have since continued to successfully expand the use of comaea across Finance, Controls, Sponsorship, Document & Information Management, Risk and Value Management, and Planning professions.
