Needs improvement - Recensione dipendente - Custom Project Manager presso Cengage

Thanks for your comment and the chance to clarify the process for this job shift. We never assume that “managers don’t have to interview for new jobs but employees do.” When business leaders decide a change in direction is needed for a particular role or area of the organization, we conduct a thorough review with the business leaders, Human Resources, and our employment counsel. This review looks closely at the current roles in the given team, and what is expected to change between the existing jobs and any newly-created roles. If these past and future jobs are significantly different, employees (regardless of level) interview for any and all open jobs of interest to them. Sometimes employees decide to interview in a different part of the organization – not just for the newly-created roles. To specifically address your comment, the review team determined that the old and new managerial roles were so similar in this case that an interview process would be unnecessary. At Cengage, verbal offers are the norm for internal job changes. We hope that the trust we’ve built with our current employees continues to permit this practice. That said, we’ll talk to our employment counsel about other options. Since it sounds like you’ve received a verbal offer, I hope you will speak to your HR Partner or manager, so we can address your concerns, along with any specifics pertaining to your personal situation. Thanks!
