To enable an employee’s continuous learning and development, we conduct four performance reviews each year (two formal, two informal). These reviews document an employee’s project and company contributions and identify their strengths and areas for growth. During these reviews, employees set performance and development goals with their supervisor and discuss an actionable plan to meet those goals. We also advocate frequent informal feedback between performance reviews to provide coaching to employees throughout the year.
Employees receive formal mentoring through our Mentoring Program in addition to informal mentoring through their supervisors, project leaders, the Talent Team, and other colleagues to support their individual professional development and help them achieve their career goals.
We are committed to a continuous learning environment for every employee. We offer many professional development opportunities to help our employees develop skills to become better consultants and strong leaders.

Mandatory and voluntary peer groups are at the foundation of our IPD Program and are a great opportunity for employees to build important leadership and consulting skills while building relationships with peers and executives.
