Through yearly performance reviews and a leveling system, Carbon encourages a growth mindset where employees receive regular feedback from their managers and peers on their strengths and areas for improvement. Through this process, employees work with their managers to identify focus areas and goals. With this consistent feedback, employees are regularly learning how to strengthen their impact at Carbon.Last year, I participated in a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) strategy group, where one main goal was to “amplify access to opportunities”. One of the major things that was suggested and implemented was Carbon’s internal job board. I’ve been thrilled to see that in the last year, there have been many employees, especially women, that have internally transitioned into new roles and thrived, often offering great new perspectives from their diverse experiences and former roles.
Why is it important to offer growth opportunities to employees?
Growth opportunities benefit not only employees and their careers, but the team and company as well. I talk to my employees about where they can improve and grow because I want to see them succeed and feel satisfaction in their day-to-day work. Happy employees create more productive teams and also set an atmosphere where people, including myself, are happy to come to work and collaborate.I think it’s important to recognize that different growth opportunities are important to different people. For some, it might mean an increase in responsibilities and scope, a promotion, more leadership opportunities.For others, it may mean exploring different areas of work, learning a new skill, scaling back in a certain area, or having the opportunity to work with different people. Others might be satisfied with where they are in their current role and just want to ensure their work is interesting and that it’s fun to come to work everyday. Companies should make sure to offer a diverse set of opportunities, and managers should try to pinpoint or steer employees towards areas that will offer employees the most happiness and fulfillment.
