Thank you for the feedback!
I am glad to know that you are enjoying working with Battery Systems, and I really appreciate your comments regarding advancement! Are you ready to preach this in our leadership training, because this is one of the items that we just reviewed? :)
We post our open positions internally as well as externally so that every employee has the opportunity to see what is posted, as well as the requirements for each position. While we currently have not published formal growth tracks, we generally see people growing toward sales excellence, administrative excellence, or leadership excellence, with our highest performers having a winning combination of these in action. We ask our leaders to assist every employee in generating specific goals and to use the job description as a springboard to move employees in a growth track interesting to them. Also, toward your advice to management, yes! Added responsibility and stretch goals peak interest for those that grow (and reveal those that aren’t as interested in growth). This is a tool that has been actively commended to every leader through a simple weekly process; it sounds as though yours is still coming on line.
Regarding your question on District Managers, there is no formal plan to add more layers of management, but as the company adds locations and adds sales volume in current locations (which increase the opportunity to add personnel) growth opportunities increase (usually associated with relocation). Please give me a call if you would like to discuss this in more detail, to provide your detailed suggestions, or to work on a personal growth track together.
Best Regards,
Todd Scott
Director of HR
