Your New Career at Progress
Joining a “Best Place to Work” is only the beginning. Welcome to Progress.
Becoming a Progresser: Integration that Works
Successful integrations begin with first acquiring like-minded companies sharing similar cultures and company values. And once the acquisition closes, employees of the acquired company become full members of the Progress employee community—known as Progressers. We know it’s a busy time full of change, so we have a cross-functional team of people dedicated to making the integration as smooth as possible.
From our People Team and IT, to Finance and Facilities, our Corporate Development integration professionals know how to rally and make new employees feel welcome. We have processes in place to get questions answered and help acquired people acclimate to being part of Progress.
What we provide:
- Frequent and transparent communications about what to expect
- Centralized resources to guide and inform
- Thoughtful transitions to equivalent roles and teams
- Continued support for your ongoing success
- Integration into payroll and benefits as soon as feasible
- Immediate access to coaching, development and mentoring programs
