Unleashing Career Potential: A Journey with Sophia Kadar

Sophia's voyage within Takeda has been marked by a series of purposeful moves, with her current role representing a lateral shift that she wholeheartedly embraced. In her own words, this change, coupled with an intercontinental move, unfolded doors to exceptional learning experiences. For Sophia, prioritizing learning has been a cornerstone of her approach to career growth. She firmly believes that continuous learning paves the way for extensive growth prospects and unexpected opportunities. 

The pillars of Sophia's growth strategy encompass three key elements: business acumen, problem-solving and networking. Despite being in an HR role, Sophia emphasizes the importance of understanding and contributing to business challenges. This keen awareness allows her to effectively support colleagues by offering creative solutions within learning and development. 

Our Commitment to Employee Development

Sophia's 2 1/2 years with us have been a testament to our commitment to employee development. Working with multiple leaders who consistently prioritize her growth, Sophia has been empowered to make decisions, present to senior leadership and enhance her visibility and skills. Such unwavering support from mentors and leaders has played a pivotal role in her professional journey. 

The practical support provided by Takeda's leaders is exemplified by Sophia's experience during her interview for her current role. One of her managers actively assisted her in practicing interview skills, showcasing the hands-on guidance that sets us apart as an employer invested in our employees' success.

Career Development Beyond the Job

Sophia has also actively participated in Takeda's mentoring program, where she gained valuable insights from her mentor, and availed herself of the numerous learning resources available on Bloom, our learning platform. She underscores a crucial point — the ultimate responsibility for one's development lies in their hands. 

While we provide many opportunities, Sophia acknowledges the common struggle of finding time for non-urgent matters. Her advice is to focus on the 'why' behind investing time in courses on Bloom or joining project teams beyond one's role. This focus, she believes, acts as a driving force, helping individuals prioritize their development, reach their goals and fulfill their dreams. 

Sophia's journey reflects our commitment to providing a conducive environment for individuals to explore their potential, learn continuously and chart their own course toward success. As we continue to champion a culture of perpetual advancement, stories like Sophia's serve as a testament to the transformative power of investing in personal and professional development.
