Career Development
We firmly believe that our people are the company, so developing staff careers is one of the ways to keep the company strong. We work with each employee to develop personal goals and a Training & Career Plan during annual performance reviews. This process benefits employees, who become the architects of their own careers, and SHN, which benefits from motivated, skilled, and knowledgeable staff. Outcomes of the process include individual advancement through the firm, increased sense of team work and mentoring, maintaining and growing SHN’s expertise, and enhanced employee job satisfaction.
What goes into your Training & Career Plan? Working on in-house projects in a “job shadow” capacity can widen your capabilities. Both in-house and outside training are also often parts of the plan. Webinars are popular, and formal training courses coupled with conferences have long been learning opportunities. Certifications are available in almost every technical field, and SHN has a long tradition of supporting employees who obtain and maintain their certifications and/or professional registrations.
