Join Jason for an enlightening conversation with Mike Ferone, Vice President of Organizational Development and Performance Excellence at Benchmark Gensuite, as they explore how his company has created a “culture of opportunity”—one where promotions are based on demonstrated competencies and potential, not rigid timelines.

Together, they examined how this approach shapes engagement, enables rapid development, and makes workplaces more human-centered and successful.

Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:

👉 The power of flexible, individualized promotion timelines, so everyone advances when ready, not just at review time

👉 How transparency and public clarity about why someone is promoted removes frustration and builds trust within teams.

👉 Why rigorous accountability, through regular manager and HR check-ins, ensures that every advancement is both earned and supported.

👉 How promoting based on demonstrated potential can accelerate growth for ambitious, early-career talent.
