MVF Career Growth & Development

MVF Employee Perspectives

What makes promotion criteria feel fair and clear — and what evidence supports that?

A promotion should still, in my opinion, be based on clear evidence and some assessment of the role. If there is an opportunity for a promotion, there should be an opportunity for all successors to go for the role, with a clear consistent framework and scoring to ensure the highest scorer gets the role. This helps remove unconscious bias.

Which program changed your capability — with what measurable result?

Not sure this is relevant to MVF, but I am aware of people having one-to-one coaches, which has been really helpful, but they have been isolated rather than structured programmes for all with more self-led learning.

What coaching habit consistently moves careers forward?

Action practice coaching is thought- and verbal-led. Understanding what we could do differently or how to progress is the first step. The real change comes with practicing the learnings time and time again in different situations to assess how they work, followed by considered reflection.

MVF does a really good job of putting great opportunities in front of you, ideas are welcomed at all levels and here you definitely get to choose your own adventure. I’ve been promoted twice in less than 2 years and I've had the chance to be involved in key road mapping projects & learning and development programs.
