In an advocacy program, instead of having managers whom you report to, you instead “report” to your advocate, who can be anyone in the company. An advocate is like a manager, except they don’t tell you what to do. They are there to help you achieve what you want, professionally. Employees choose their own advocates. They simply ask someone if they would be their advocate… Advocates are responsible for conducting the annual performance review, and work with the advocatee on things like compensation, professional development, setting goals, etc. They do not direct how someone uses their time. The advocacy program works best in environments of highly motivated folks who can structure their own time, because no one else is going to structure it for you.—Our Advocacy Program (more management structures at Jason’s)
