Charted, Inc. Leadership & Management
As a small organization Charted uses a relatively flat reporting structure. This ensures managers and leadership are often extremely accessible to employees, and employees are regularly engaged to contribute work at various levels.
Charted leadership employs the following:
- Regular 1:1s between employees and managers
- Team meetings with c-suite executives
- Monthly all-hands meetings hosted by the CEO with active engagement
- Tracked employee goals aligned with company OKRs through Teamflect, allowing for self-reviews and 360 feedback
- Teams recognition of employees
- A transparent approach to employee performance
Internal promotion is also commonly employed so employees have upward career mobility despite being a small organization.
At Charted we utilize OKRs to chart the success of all of our teams and ensure we are all working towards our aligned goals. All OKRs are discussed at every monthly all-hands meeting and are discussed ahead of the new year at the fall offsite gathering for all employees. Every employee is expected to track their individual OKRs using Teamflect.
Leaders provide regular updates on the direction of Charted at every monthly all-hands meeting, at quarterly product roadmap updates and at the two company off-site meetings every year, which every Charted employee attends.
Every Charted employee tracks their own goals which are designed to align with the annual OKRs which are employed organization-wide. These annual OKRs are announced ahead of the year so employees are well-versed in them before the goals are being tracked.
As a small company, all employees are interviewed by not only HR and their direct manager, but by the existing team members and the CEO of Charted. Every executive provides a introductory meeting to new employees as part of onboarding. This ensures employees are not only learning about the organization as a whole but also being introduced to leadership from the very beginning.
