CareerPlug's abilities

• Positionsare simply the titles, which represent the expected reach (team, department, company, etc) each employee is expected to have at CareerPlug.

These are critical to ensure consistent and therefore fair pay (each position should have a small salaray range in which everyone is paid within)

• Assignmentsare a collection of responsibilities needed for CareerPlug teams. What outcomes and impacts your teammates can expect from you

• Abilitiesare the tools we value/recognize at CareerPlug. They are the tools you need to complete those role responsiblities... HOW you do it

• Valuesare the aspirations we strive for at CareerPlug

Abilities are be defined as the behaviors, skills, or knowledge that CareerPlug values. These are observable, tierable, and able to be practiced deliberately given the opportunity and intention (by executing the responsiblities of different roles)

Abilities are how you do what you do, and are the key ingredient to the role and position eligibility journey you are on while at CareerPlug.

If abilities sound like competencies from a traditional HRIS-style compentency model, it is because OG believes our take on this far exceeds what they are intended to do, and seeks to replace them.
Competency models are far less than ideal when trying to drive clairty, consistency, and fairness into a growth framework. The difference is that Abilities in this framework are observable, tierable (in that there are milestones that are used to indicate when your manager is willing to put you in situations of greater and greater impact), and awarding of the next milestone should only be done when there are clear signals that the person in question has been performing at that level for a period of time.

No treating subjectivity as a bug and trying to remove all of the subjectivity out of the process (this is impossible)... instead OurGruuv:Expect seeks to make the subjectivity the feature, especially when paired with OurGruuv:Observe. Consistent observations that help us express the one true piece of data we have... our experiences. Matched with a tool that drives clairty between you and your manager as to where you stand with your manager... not specifically what YOU are, but a way to track your perception as measured by what situations your manager would place you in.

Unstated expectations are resentments waiting to happen.

Therefore, OG strives forClear Expectationswhich leads to great habits, which leads to the team flow state, which leads to theCareerPlug Gruuv!
