Nomination Timeline

• Performance Recognition Identified: Identified as they arise
• Nomination Initiation: Document a case for nomination over ~60 to 90 days
• Nomination Due Diligence: ~15 to 60 days
• Decision Making: Done once every 2 months during Sr. Leadership meeting (or sooner if urgent)
• Communication: Decision (including timeline for deferrals) is communicated within 1 week of decision

P.S. This structured process ensures that promotions & pay raises are handled thoughtfully, aligning with individual contributions, organizational growth, and the company’s core values. After a promotion team member can only be nominated again after 12mo.
