High Road Partnerships:
Onward and Upward High Road Partnerships steer employers away from “low road” quick-fixes and direct them toward training programs that create the potential for lasting industry-wide success. These union-led, multi-employer compacts promote competition on the basis of innovation, quality and skill, rather than on low wages and limited benefits. Jennifer A Troia Jennifer A. Troia is at Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, 341 Oyster Point Boulevard, S. San Francisco, California 94080, USA. jtroia@sunesis.com In the biotech industry, job descriptions and career ladders are often oriented toward scientific acumen, individual achievement and academic excellence. Does this accurately reflect your company's overall vision? It may fit for a startup, but it is not uncommon for a biotech company to modify its original vision to gain access to capital and build a sustainable business. Although scientific acumen and academic excellence are valuable to a research organization, companies generate revenue by commercializing products. Furthermore, as the company evolves and its vision and values are more clearly defined, the career paths need to be revised periodically so that employee performance expectations reflect the company's goals. In 2005, we worked with Radford Surveys+Consulting to gather market data from 20 local companies that were considered potential competitors for talent. The results showed that 55% of those companies use career ladders as a promotional tool, and that an average of 11.8% of the employee population was promoted annually. The survey also indicated that 80% of those companies promote employees at fixed intervals (annually, semi-annually, quarterly), rather than spontaneously throughout the year. If you work at a company that uses well-defined career paths and grants promotions on a fixed schedule, then make sure you understand the expectations at each job level.
