Each Chartis member is assigned a Development Leader as part of their on-boarding process. The Development Leader is a senior member in the firm who establishes and maintains an on-going relationship with that member to chart a course for growth and success at the firm.
Performance Management
Feedback is an important part of growth and learning. Chartis members receive project reviews at the conclusion of each engagement and comprehensive performance reviews semi-annually. These reviews serve both to offer insight and tools to each member to facilitate skill development and to provide career advancement direction. Chartis members are reviewed against a spectrum of performance criteria that address: Critical Thinking, Analytics, Client Service, Work and Team Management and Firm Development.
Training and Continuing Education
As part of our commitment to professional development, Chartis offers a comprehensive training curriculum to enhance the consulting skills of its members that includes a new hire training program and regularly scheduled continuing education sessions throughout the year. Chartis members are also encouraged to attend seminars and take outside courses that address their individual professional development objectives.
Firm Development
In addition to day-to-day client activities, all Chartis members contribute to the development and growth of the firm by participating in internal strategic planning and operational initiatives in areas such as knowledge management, recruiting, forums development, product development, training and education. In this way, all Chartis members - from Analysts through Managing Directors - are involved and vested in shaping the firm.
Member Profile: Anneliese
Why did you join Chartis?
When I came across The Chartis Group, I was looking for an opportunity to play a hands-on role in the health sector. What stood out to me during the recruiting process is how the firm’s mission—to materially improve health care—shapes the clients and projects Chartis chooses to pursue, the people it hires, and the way it approaches the client work.
What keeps you at Chartis?
I’m continuously challenged by and interested in the work, and I have yet to spend a day at Chartis where I haven’t learned something new—whether from a teammate, a client, or a colleague working on a different project that is willing to share his or her knowledge with me. The work is dynamic, engaging, and ever-changing. And the people at Chartis are fantastic—smart, interesting, and fun to work with. They are also dedicated—to their clients, to their families and friends, and to each other—and this dedication more than anything shapes the culture of the firm.
How has professional development helped you in your career at Chartis?
The Chartis Group’s investment in developing its people was readily apparent from the first day I started, when I was assigned both a peer liaison, to support me as I got up to speed in the new job and a new lifestyle, as well as a mentor external to my project team, to guide me through crafting my development plan. I’ve also appreciated abundant opportunities to receive constructive feedback, through formal processes, such as the biannual evaluation and end-of-project reviews, as well as on an ongoing basis from my project manager. I can’t believe how far I’ve come since I started—and I know that I have the support and resources I need to continue to develop.
What training have you received at Chartis and how has it benefited you?
I have participated in multiple training sessions since I started at Chartis, including New Hire Training when I first came on board, and on a regular basis through Office Days and semi-monthly Consultant Caucus calls. Training has centered on building core technical skills, from honing Access and Excel skills to more elaborate financial modeling. I’ve also enjoyed sessions on more specific healthcare topics, where colleagues have shared their expertise on subjects such as cancer care or health insurance market dynamics. Every training session is not necessarily germane to every project, but the emphasis on and variety of training has enabled me to more effectively and confidently approach new client work.
