Pinnacol Hosts "Promote Yourself" Sessions for Employees

A couple of months ago three of our Business Directors - Sheri, Shelley, and Jerica - came up with the idea of hosting a "Promote Yourself" Week for our employees to better prepare them for promotional opportunities as they occur within the company. Pinnacol makes an effort to promote from within whenever possible so their idea really struck a chord.

After several months of planning, and the involvement of a whole lot of people, this week is the culmination of a lot of work to provide our employees information and tips on all sorts of topics including:

•  Interview Preparation,
• Resume Writing,
• Behavioral Interviewing, and
• What To Do After The Interview.

I just came from the Interview Preparation  session and like the first session on Monday it was very well attended with more than 60 employees eager to listen and learn. The three presenters this afternoon - Sheri, Jerica, and Mark - were all living examples of success stories of folks who had come into our company and moved up. Jerica, for example, had joined our company five years ago in an administrative capacity, had then moved into a claims position, and is now a manager of one of our business teams. These sessions are just one example of the many learning and development resources available to our employees who we recognize are responsible for the future success of our company.

Thank you to Sheri, Shelley, and Jerica for coming up with this great idea and to all those who have helped develop the materials and presentations for "Promote Yourself" Week! I'll leave you with one of the videos presented in today's session that made me chuckle. I can't wait to see what the rest of this week's sessions will offer...
