Individuals with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed and upgraded. In my master's thesis, I was interested in the point of view of HR professionals, how they introduce a growth mindset into the company, with which activities, and how they critically evaluate the promotion of a flexible mindset. I was also interested in the point of view of professional staff (developers) in high-tech organizations, in what way the companies, where they are employed, encourage this, what, in their opinion, makes sense, and what is unnecessary. Five HR professionals and 14 developers participated in the survey. The results showed that companies accept mistakes and evaluate them as a normal product of work, and that employees are constantly involved in the flow of feedback, which they receive daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annually, and annually. Success in organizations means achieving set goals, but also progress, quality work, and good cooperation with the team. Employees are offered opportunities to learn through regular meetings with the team, where they share knowledge with each other, through mentoring, joint development, sharing professional articles, and attending external trainings ... Taking responsibility and experimenting comes partly automatically with the role of a developer and working in high-tech organizations. Companies also try to offer support to employees, but more can be done in this field. It would be recommended that HR staff considers employees when introducing activities and changes in the workplace, as they are often overburdened with too frequent meetings and additional activities, but at the same time, they would also like more regular development discussions, attending conferences with the aim of being up-to-date and provided psychological support by the company.
