💬 Employee Growth Chart Introduction Guide
Growth charts are one of the essential tools we utilize to build and adjust our personal and professional development goals, so we can clearly see our progress and ensure growth. This guide includes information and tips for outlining our thoughts and plans so we can think big.
Why is my Growth Chart important?
One of the core values of our firm is continuous growth and progression. We believe it is important to constantly challenge ourselves, fail, learn and try again with adjustments. It’s also very rewarding to look back on your goals and plans to see everything you have achieved. “Remember when you wished for what you have now.” We plan to revisit everyone’s growth chart and adjust as necessary semi-annually.
- Personal Growth
- Values
- Family
- Life Goals
- Professional Growth
- Skills (Hard and Soft)
- Career Path
What’s the point?
Getting thoughts out of our heads and on paper allows us to organize and simplify our goals for clearer focus. This also ensures we are all on the same page in terms of our team member’s current skill sets, plans, strengths, and weaknesses.
