Career Planning

Career planning is a bundle of activities that help prepare employees for advancement within their current organization. It involves assessing the employee’s strengths and interests, mapping a career path that aligns with the organization’s workforce requirements, providing support and guidance, and channeling development effort towards the goals. When done effectively, career planning can be an impactful retention and engagement tool. Additional benefits to the organization may include the availability of a talent pool whose skills are closely aligned with the organization’s needs, ability to attract talent and minimization of future risks by retaining employees who have deep institutional knowledge.
