Career management

In the current economic environment where organisations face continuous change, a key issue is how to encourage the workforce to take responsibility for their own career development and respond to the changing requirements of the business.

Our consultancy design and review services within the arena of career management can assist you support individual career development whilst achieving a realistic match between the needs of the organisation as well as those of your employees. Our holistic approach involves:

• Helping individuals to plan and manage their own career and build skills in line with future business needs
• Helping the organisation put in place mechanisms and procedures which will support them in doing so

Programmes are tailored to meet the specific requirements of the organisation and the individual. For instance, the main aim may be to support a culture change initiative, or to identify personal development requirements, or perhaps to help individuals to assess whether they need to look outside the organisation for their next career move.  We work with:

• Human Resource department to ensure the programme complements and fits with existing systems and processes and, where necessary, advise on additional initiatives to build an effective career management strategy.
• Senior management to gain their support and agree key messages and philosophies, and with line management to ensure they have the skills to support individuals.
• Individuals to build the motivation and skills to enable them to manage their own career and development.

 Our programmes allow individuals to review their current situation, analyse how far they have progressed and longer term goals essential to their development.  Ultimately the individual should be in a position to decide upon a final compelling course of action combining their own unique resources along with those of the organisation.

Desired outcomes vary from improved performance, increased job satisfaction, increased workforce morale to improved staff retention.
