“For one, it’s important to shift your mindset that career growth only means upward mobility. “We tried to reiterate simple principles throughout Career Development Days that I hope Dropboxers walked away with,” Rachel said. We also saw strong engagement in our Internal Mobility panel and session on “Demystifying Levels and Promotions.” To fully round out the month’s offerings with a dose of wellness, we hosted sessions related to finding joy and leading with empathy - as reconnecting with happiness and belonging in the workplace are fundamental to thriving in Virtual First. The “Key to Great Performance at Dropbox”, which featured data collected from internal research studies, was one of our most popular sessions. We have to be intentional about how we show up, and that includes how we grow our careers.”Ĭareer Development Days offered Dropboxers the chance to learn about key career skills with nine different panels and sessions to attend. We don’t have the opportunity to build natural relationships by passing someone in the hallway. Rachel said, “While career growth hasn’t fundamentally changed in Virtual First, the way we operate over Zoom - whether we’re managers or ICs - has become important. She leaned heavily into the nuances of Virtual First work to help inform session topics - and to encourage Dropboxers to focus on intentional, not incidental, growth. Rachel Chadderdon, Talent Management leader, played a key role in planning the month’s events. Each week focused on a different aspect of how employees think about their careers, which included everything from shifting mindsets and finding purpose, to utilizing distinctive strengths and accelerating growth.
Throughout the year, we’re always looking for opportunities to promote career growth and learning for all Dropboxers - most recently during Career Development Days.Ĭareer Development Days, held in April, was an expansion of last fall’s Career Week, featuring a new theme: “Designing Your Virtual First Career.” Many of the same concepts were covered, but in light of our shift to Virtual First, we reframed them specifically for a remote work setting. Helping each other succeed is one of our core motivators at Dropbox.
