Today employees across the board need to be fast, flexible and fluid in managing their development. You can GPS just about anything these days – except your career. Why? Because work, workplaces and careers are in a constant state of flux. Maps are great for known destinations. Employees need apps to create their own destinations.
Headlines and surveys tell organizations worldwide that employees are disengaged, see very limited career opportunities where they are, and feel they have to leave to grow.
During difficult economic times, companies that fail to engage an anxious workforce see productivity, quality, customer service and employee commitment fall away fast. More than ever, as organizations move toward recovery, they must maximize the contribution of all employees. One of the best ways to do this is by providing them with skills, pathways for growth and learning, and the resources to increase their opportunities within the organization. Never before has career development been so critical.
Dr. Kaye will share research and trends that support development and introduce a practical model that demystifies the development process. Participants will:
- Recognize the critical link of development to creating and sustaining an engaged workforce.
- Learn to apply a five stage model to “self power careers” and create meaningful and action-based career dialogue.
- Consider the application of the model to one's career.
