In an ideal world, whenever a position opened up in your company there would always be a perfectly qualified person ready to step up and fill it. Philly manufacturers do not live in an ideal world.

In our world we have good positions without the right people to fill them and people ready to move up with no obvious place to go.

For more than a decade the leadership at AVL has refined a structured approach to solving this common problem creatively.

By experimenting with discipline and imagination, they have filled many important positions with internal candidates who would have been underestimated or overlooked before.

This helps them fill positions more successfully and offer their people a steady stream of opportunities to grow.

As head of HR, Sue Learn is integral to the success of this approach at AVL. Join us and learn her insights into one of its key elements – their systematic approach to successfully matching people with unexpected, unconventional opportunities for advancement.

Then stay for an insightful conversation about overcoming the obstacles to your own company's growth.
