Growth Program Creation and Oversight
Building Internal Talent Pipelines Through Mentorship, Development & Experiential Learning
January 2019 - June 2021 | Meridian Health Plan
Developed, implemented, and oversaw 3 cohorts of our internal employee Growth Program; a program developed specifically for internal employees looking to grow their leadership or analytical skillset. This program was designed as a 6 week rotation where employees would have to apply, interview, and be selected for their requested track (Leadership, Analytics, or Project Management). Selected employees would then spend their 6 weeks shadowing and working with specifically selected mentors within their track parameters and would work collectively on a final Growth Program Project of their choosing. At the end of each cohort, the group would present their project to senior leadership and, if approved, move forward with implementation. Completion of the growth program allowed for individuals to expand their skillset within their desired career path and would be prime candidates for future promotional opportunities. Feedback surveys after the conclusion of each cohort provided the leadership team with excellent feedback in order to continuously improve with each cohort. Growth Program participants were expected to maintain predetermined production requirements with designated time set aside for Growth Program meetings and project development.
