Philosophy on Development

Career development, or “Personal Growth & Development” as it is referred to at Intuit, is a key company initiative.

What does it mean when we talk about Personal Growth & Development and what does success look like?  It starts with a commitment.  Commitment is a two-way street; we all have a role to play in Personal Growth and Development.

As a company we are committed to…

• Providing the tools and systems needed to continually grow and develop talent.
• Looking internally for talent, providing formal and informal opportunities to grow in your current role and be ready for what comes next.
• Letting you know about opportunities and giving hiring managers and recruiters visibility to the best qualified internal candidates.

Our managers are expected to…

• Have formal conversations with employees about their development at least twice per year. Provide guidance, leadership and mentorship throughout the year.
• Provide time, funding and the right environment to support and enable your employees to grow. Partner with your employees to create personalized development plans.
• Look for talent internally first. Create talent and succession plans.
• Think of success as a crossroads… the intersection of an employee being ready and the business having the right opportunity.

As an employee you need to…

• Be committed to the pursuit of continuous growth and development, excelling in your current role and preparing for new experiences.
• Own your development plans, seek and pursue learning experiences, and build productive relationships with peers and mentors.
• Capture and share your skills, experiences and aspirations to market yourself for potential opportunities. Your goal is to be the best possible candidate for opportunities.
