Promega takes an innovative approach to employee development, as featured in Chip Conley’s book “Peak”, that focuses on a series of conversations to recognize employee strengths and encourage growth based on employee passions. More and more departments use a conversational approach between managers and employees that facilitates individual development plans, personalized growth goals and a listening session to understand what our talent needs to keep them with Promega.
Leadership Training and Employee Development
Professional development programs like Coaching for Leaders, Leadership Forum, Transformational Leadership, Leadership Conversations and Manager Roundtable programs support managers at all levels. Individually targeted leadership development is available either in person or virtually. Employees have access to sessions like Seeking & Receiving Feedback, Influencing without Authority, Conflict Management and much more. In addition, organizational development services include talent management resources, personality/leadership assessments, coaching and consulting. Initially these programs were limited to North America, but they have expanded to our branches in Italy, Sweden, France, BNL, Spain, UK and Australia.
I am so grateful for this mind-bending experience. I made “To Do” notes to myself during the progression of the day-long event, and followed through with expanded attitudes and directed actions, built upon the course’s concepts. I feel I’ve been changed for the better in many wonderful ways.
– Katharine Hoffmann, Senior Scientist in Response to Coaching for Individual Contributors
