5. CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK & AREAS FOR GROWTH
To prepare for a transition into a Director-level role, Jessica should focus her professional development on the following
areas:
Delegation of Transactional HR:
Jessica has a tendency to jump into the trenches to solve tactical issues, such as
troubleshooting individual payroll anomalies or conducting basic I-9 verifications. She must aggressively delegate these
transactional duties to the HR Generalists and Coordinators to protect her capacity for high-level strategic planning.
Proactive Succession Planning:
While Jessica excels at filling immediate headcount gaps, she needs to partner
more deeply with the executive team to build long-term succession plans for critical roles, ensuring the organization is
insulated against unexpected leadership departures.
6. FUTURE GOALS & DEVELOPMENT PLAN (FY2027)
Goal 1 (Strategic Leadership):
Design and execute a formalized "Executive Succession & Development
Framework" for all VP and C-level positions by the end of Q2 2027.
Goal 2 (Compliance Scaling):
Conduct a comprehensive audit and overhaul of our remote work policy, ensuring
tax and labor law compliance across the 5 new states we expanded into this year.
Goal 3 (Professional Certification):
Prepare for and successfully attain the SHRM Senior Certified Professional
(SHRM-SCP) credential by Q4 2027 to formalize her advanced HR expertise.
Goal 4 (Onboarding Optimization):
Redesign the 30-60-90 day onboarding journey to decrease new-hire time-to-
productivity by 20%, implementing automated check-ins via our new HRIS platform.
