3. What is My MAP?
My MAP is an initiative to help Metroland employees learn, grow and
develop continuously throughout their career.
An employee and their manager assess the employee’s competency
levels by completing basic online assessments.
Using the assessment results, My MAP creates a customized
learning plan designed to guide and support employees in building
the competencies necessary to achieving their career goals.
4. How Does it Work?
1. Metroland has adopted 34 competencies that provide a skills
framework for employees from entry-level to senior executive
2. Metroland’s Training and Talent Development Department offers
over 25 Management courses - each tied to developing specific
competencies
3. Assessing skill levels with the competencies provides a learning
“MAP” for employees who wish to develop in their current role
and/or prepare for future roles
4. The first competencies to be assessed and developed are those
relevant to the employee’s current role.

their manager.

Some of the world’s most admired companies today say they’ll lose HALF their key people over the next 5 years. A broader shortage of talent looms on the horizon, even as new generations of workers splash into the global talent pool. It’s important that companies have a business-focused talent strategy. Metroland Media Group is an organization that encourages continuous growth and improvement. Our President, Ian Oliver, has stated that talent development is a critical requirement for the company’s long term success, and as a result, he is the Sponsor (and #1 supporter) of the My MAP Program. The MAP Program is based upon the Lominger (FYI) Core Competencies Model that we have adopted as our framework for Performance Review, Employee Development and Succession Planning.
