The Edge of Work

S2: E8: How to Strategically Align Your Company Around Career Development


Listen Later

Melanie Naranjo is the VP of People at Ethena, a global compliance training platform based in the United States. As the VP of People at a fast-growing startup, Melanie and her people team have made career development a critical priority of the company, and have codified a definition along with programs, resources and support for career development that helps their employees identify opportunities for career growth as the company grows. 

During this conversation, Melanie spoke about how reviewing the employee engagement survey date gave her and her team an opportunity to really dig into employee’s challenges with career growth to identify how they might be able to come up with a solution.

Melanie spoke about how she and the team were able to work with the rest of the organization to articulate and define a definition around topics like career development and growth, the types of programs and systems they’ve put in place to make it happen, as well as the responsibilities of key people in the career development process including employees and managers.
