Self-assessment is the foundation of the career development process. In this stage, employees are encouraged to thoughtfully examine their strengths, values, interests, skills, and professional motivations. It’s also a chance to reflect on how your personal characteristics align with RPI’s values and what you prioritize in your own employee experience.
Why is this step important?
To gain clarity about who you are professionally—so your future goals, actions, and development plans are built on a strong, authentic foundation.
Consider what energizes you, where you excel, and what type of work feels most meaningful.
Values Alignment
This stage is grounded in our core values of curiosity, impact, excellence, and community. Self-assessment helps employees align their personal goals with these shared principles—ensuring that growth is not only strategic, but values-driven.
