How we build it:

Number 1 icon

Step 1:
Deep dive

To start, we'll work to deeply understand your team’s current roles, structure, goals and culture. During kickoff, we'll uncover any gaps and pain points and talk about how expectations are set today.

Number 2 icon

Step 2:
Workshop it

We'll facilitate a 60-minute competency-building workshop with your leaders to understand what your organization really values and rewards.

Step 3:

Get high-level

Next, we'll craft organization-wide job levels and define expectations for each. This will act as our general framework before building role and team-specific career paths.

Number 4 icon

Step 4:

Scale it down

Working directly with your managers to make sure what we build reflects their team's reality, we’ll apply the wider organizational framework to define success for each group and role.

Number 5 icon

Step 5:

Place and connect

We’ll work together to place each team member correctly into the new framework. We'll also collaborate on connecting your new career system to your hiring, performance and pay frameworks.

Number 6 icon

Step 6:

Roll it out

We’ll lead training for both managers and employees to ensure everyone understands the new system and how it will help them grow.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Defined company-wide job levels, expectations, and competencies
  • Clear, accurate, department-specific career levels for each team
  • Help connecting your career levels to hiring, compensation, and other areas of your people systems
  • Advisory, training and support in rolling out your new framework

Bright + Early was founded on land that is the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples from across Turtle Island. We acknowledge that we are all treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.
To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. Land acknowledgements do not exist in a past tense, or historical context: colonialism is current and ongoing, and we need to centre reconciliation in our actions and in our work. We encourage our team, partners, and clients to learn about the lands in which they live and to work towards reconciliation.
