Onboarding
Advention provides a thorough onboarding process for new employees irrespective of level to learn about their colleagues, our values and our capabilities before joining client-facing project teams.
Global integration under a single P&L
- One of our key hiring criteria is having a global perspective.
- 80% or more of our projects have a global element and we staff our projects accordingly.
- We bring the global team together annually at our global offsite event. The goal is to forge bonds across borders and ensure that individuals stay connected and develop productive relationships worldwide. Past locations for the global offsite include (Greece, Iceland, Czech Republic, Morocco and many more).
- We believe that our single P&L model is critical to the success of our global integration. Individuals are staffed on projects based on skills and availability rather than proximity and local office allegiance.
- We review our teams’ performance bi-annually, to maintain a consistent global standard. The goal in these reviews is to provide recognition, where deserved and support, where needed.
- To foster global interaction, we offer opportunities for our team to work for extended periods from our foreign offices. These opportunities are offered to high potential individuals who demonstrate a strong desire to learn about the local cultures, clients and services in these global offices.
