Good-Loop’s Career Progression Framework (in a nutshell)

<aside> 🥜 Our Career Progression Framework is designed to give you…

• Clarity: Give clarity on your possible role progression at Good-Loop and help you identify how to get there.
• Transparency: Gives transparency on what great looks like, so you know what’s expected of you and the steps you need to take to achieve your career goals.
• Shared language: For managers to discuss your performance, development and progression in a more meaningful and structured way. For you to understand what the standards are and what’s expected of you. </aside>

🤔 How does it work?

We have two career tracks at Good-Loop:

Individual Contributor

“Do I want to build bigger and better systems and processes?”

“Do I want to become a specialist in my role?”

People Leader

“Do I want to manage bigger and better teams?”

“Do I want to focus on hiring, team organisation, and helping people develop?”

The framework provides a summary and level of accountability (scope) that a level typically has. It then breaks down expectations per level into 6 competencies:

Knowledge / Impact / Decision making / Collaboration / Communication / Leadership

<aside> 🔏 The framework, full guidance notes and FAQ are available once you join us!

Your Learning Budget - £1k per year!

You’re great. Don’t forget that. But to be even better, we all need to be looking at how we can grow. We use iHASCO, an e-learning platform for training.

Chances are, you already know what some of your weaknesses are. That’s good. If you find a course/event that you think would be an excellent opportunity for growth, let your manager and the Head of People know. Every member of the team has access to up to £1k per year to spend on their professional development.

<aside> 🚨 We’ll also cover the cost of renewing professional memberships!

Find a mentor

<aside> 🤝 We work in an industry that’s surprisingly friendly! Everyone can benefit from having someone to turn to, whether that’s a senior person at another company, or a similar-level team member elsewhere. If you can’t find someone, get in touch with the Head of People who will be happy to help.
