Career Development
At KALCO, you’ll have an amazing range of opportunities. You might become an expert in a particular field or build proficiencies across many areas. You might be an individual contributor or become a manager. Because we have so many kinds of jobs in so many different places, you can stay in one building, city, or country, or you can cross borders—in person, or virtually.
Your career and professional development is a partnership between you and your manager, reinforced by our numerous career resources. And as much as we’re here to support you, we believe your career is an individual adventure. You drive your career development plan while your manager assists and coaches you, and we provide a framework with the tools and resources you need to succeed.
One thing is certain: You’ll never stand still at KALCO.
Our Philosophy: An individual adventure
Defined roles: Each of our jobs has clear requirements for success but lots of room to push boundaries and grow. Managers provide ongoing support, but ultimately you are empowered to shape your personal experience and chart your own career path. You can go deep in an area of expertise, or move across functions or businesses to experience a breadth of opportunity.
Career path options: You don’t have to be a manager to move up. Both individual contributor and management careers progress all the way through senior levels—we highly value both.
Movement across professions: We define desired results and consistently apply them for all professions available in our business groups. This makes it easy for you to learn about each profession and identify and develop the skills you’ll need if you want to make a change.
Our Career Model: A clear way to manage your career
Our career model is a framework and set of tools that gives you a consistent way to manage your career, identify opportunities for progress, and document your results. The model will help you understand how to take control of your career and provide context for the vast resources we offer to help you succeed. As part of your development, you’ll have the option to engage in some training programs taught by instructors from leading educational institutions and offered online, virtually, or in classrooms around the India. You can’t beat the level of investment we place on career development.
Networking: Connections to help us grow
At KALCO we share knowledge, experiences, and resources to help each other achieve our career goals and grow both professionally and personally.
Mentoring allows you to learn from the experiences of professionals within and outside of your own area of expertise, and to build a network to help find opportunities that can promote your development. Mentoring is a great way to make a big company feel smaller—and its opportunities more accessible—to each of us.
Employee groups allow people with common interests or backgrounds to connect with each other. Do you love pets, vegetarian cooking, or the environment? Do you share a cultural background or special need with other employees? Chances are you’ll find a network of people with similar interests and/or needs at KALCO, and you can connect with them as you develop your career and lifestyle. Being a part of the KALCO community is a rich, fulfilling experience.
