Our Career Development Advising Program provides guidance, support, and resources to our employees in their professional growth.

The objective is to empower them to follow the lead of their curiosity in pursuit of a meaningful, long-term career and invest in their professional growth.
Each new hire at the bank is given a training survey after being in their role for four weeks. This survey captures both satisfaction ratings on the training they have received so far as well as giving new employees the opportunity to offer their own input for training topics that they feel would benefit them. These suggestions could be any areas of growth or development they wish to pursue.
Our workplace Career Development Advising Program also fosters a culture of continual learning and improvement. Employees are encouraged to take ownership of their professional development by shadowing others, and seeking out opportunities for growth. By empowering our employees to pursue their career aspirations and providing support and resources, Baker Boyer cultivates a workforce that is driven, skilled, and dedicated, resulting in long-term prosperity for employees.
