Our Personal
Growth Plan.
Each Chartis member is assigned a Development Leader as part of their on-boarding process. The Development Leader is a senior member in the firm who establishes and maintains an on-going relationship with that member to chart a course for growth and success at the firm.
Performance Management
Feedback is an important part of growth and learning. Chartis members receive project reviews at the conclusion of each engagement and comprehensive performance reviews semi-annually. These reviews serve both to offer insight and tools to each member to facilitate skill development and to provide career advancement direction. Chartis members are reviewed against a spectrum of performance criteria that address: Critical Thinking, Analytics, Client Service, Work and Team Management and Firm Development.
Training and Continuing Education
As part of our commitment to professional development, Chartis offers a comprehensive training curriculum to enhance the consulting skills of its members that includes a new hire training program and regularly scheduled continuing education sessions throughout the year. Chartis members are also encouraged to attend seminars and take outside courses that address their individual professional development objectives.
Firm Development
In addition to day-to-day client activities, all Chartis members contribute to the development and growth of the firm by participating in internal strategic planning and operational initiatives in areas such as knowledge management, recruiting, forums development, product development, training and education. In this way, all Chartis members - from Analysts through Managing Directors - are involved and vested in shaping the firm.
Member Profile: Stephanie
Why did you join Chartis?
When I learned about The Chartis Group, I was looking for a career that would enable me to make a positive impact on the delivery of healthcare. Consultants at Chartis have the opportunity to help some of the country’s leading healthcare providers solve complex business problems; I was excited by the prospect of being part of that. Through the recruiting process, it was apparent that a career with Chartis meant working collaboratively with an exceptional group of people on projects that would ultimately improve the services provided to patients all over the country.
What keeps you at Chartis?
I have been extremely impressed by the way The Chartis Group approaches problem solving and adding value for our clients. We do not enter into engagements with “one-size fits all” solutions. Rather, we work side-by-side with our clients and use our collective experiences to come up with a solution that is specifically tailored to the unique needs of each client. In addition to the type of work we do and the way we approach it, the people at Chartis play a big role in my continued happiness at the firm. It is an absolute pleasure to be part of an organization made up of such talented, dedicated, and caring individuals.
How has professional development helped you in your career at Chartis?
An emphasis on professional development is a big part of the Chartis culture. I find that I am continuously provided opportunities to learn and grow, both formally through structured training sessions as well as informally through the experiences I have on my projects and conversations I have with others in the firm. Each consultant at Chartis is assigned a Development Leader, a more senior member of the firm that acts as a mentor, helping you identify and address your professional development goals. In addition to the formal Development Leader relationship, I also find that I have been incredibly supported by the project managers and partners on my projects. I have found the relationships with my Development Leader and more senior members of my project teams to be instrumental to my career progression at Chartis.
What training have you received at Chartis and how has it benefited you?
Chartis provides numerous training opportunities, both internally and externally. Internal training opportunities have included New Hire Training, as well as many training sessions during bi–weekly Consultant Caucus calls, and during bi–monthly All–Firm Office Days. Internal training sessions focus on everything from healthcare industry topics, such as Heath Reform, to more technical training, such as financial modeling. I have also received external training that has helped develop skills which make me better equipped and confident when working with my clients, such as advancing my presentation skills and learning how to more effectively engage and communicate with clients.
