Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I give my team members this gift of development?
Many employers are transitioning their support of employees to treat them as humans instead of just workers. That entails supporting development opportunities that go beyond the present needs of the company and offering opportunities that focus on personal growth. “Broadening the definition of “development” in this way increases both performance and intent to stay by 6%”, according to Gartner.
The Own Your Experience Strategy Series™ is a high value, long-term investment in your team members. They will spend more than 1 year on this journey and can go back and revisit content as they progress (e.g., moving from "just getting started" to “ready to scale up" guidance and techniques). It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Plus, ScaleUp offers a facilitation guide for internal-led discussions to support community-based learning through shared experiences.
The Own Your Experience Strategy Series™ is an effective way to equitably impact your employee population as part of your development, engagement, and retention strategies!
Who can benefit from the series?
The series was designed for U.S.-based professionals seeking empowerment and ownership of their work experience. It supports the growth and development of people who want to be in the driver's seat vs. living their professional life by chance.
The series adds value to both early and seasoned careerists, due to the variety of tools and guidance for putting the strategies into practice. Participants select from techniques and guidance under the "just getting started" section if the topic is new to them or from the "ready to scale up" section if they are in need of more advanced guidance and techniques.
It is resource-intensive and financially burdensome for most companies to offer robust development opportunities to ALL professionals. The Own Your Experience Strategy Series™ is a cost-effective way to democratize career development across your entire professional employee population.
How do participants experience the series?
The first strategy is delivered via email, 2 weeks after purchase. Participants receive a deck of sort cards via USPS* within 2 weeks after purchase, to ensure participants can start using their sort cards when their first strategy email arrives. Then, a new strategy is delivered via email every 3 weeks over the course of 15 months.
The digital content supports learning. Participants get an overview of the topic, learn why it is important/relevant to their work experience and receive various options for implementing the strategy.
The sort cards support reflection and commitment for each strategy. Participants indicate prioritization, initial reflections, and their goals on the cards and can organize the cards by priority or category. Visually sorting cards encourages a balanced focus across the 5 categories of market, support, nourish, prepare, and assess yourself.
This combination of digital and tactile learning supports those who want to create a personal practice or ritual around their development as they design their professional work experience. Implementing a consistent practice creates ongoing value as individuals repeatedly invest time and attention in their development.
* Currently, deliveries are available to the contiguous United States only. High volume purchases may require more than 2 weeks’ lead time - ScaleUp can confirm this prior to purchase, if needed.
Why is it a series vs. a one-and-done approach?
This series is not a quick fix or a band-aid, it’s a journey – the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The benefit of this experience ownership concept comes from implementing multiple strategies, customizing to personal needs, and continuously improving in order to manage one's work experience through empowerment and intent.
Effective learning and continuous improvement are enabled by the method and frequency of content delivery. Participants receive micro-bursts of information, one topic at a time, with engaging content they can interact with at their own pace.
What is the investment?
The series starts at $299.00 per employee, which includes sort cards, S&H, and digital content delivery via email. An electronic facilitator discussion guide is also included for groups of 5 or more participants.
Volume discounts are available. A lead time greater than 2 weeks may be required for high volume orders.
Purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable.
