Employees need to be ultimately responsible for their own development. However, it is the company’s responsibility to create an environment in which that is possible.
People don’t stay with the same employer anymore. In fact, the average Australian professional will now change their career direction more than 3 times in their working lives. Employees need to be responsible for their own development.
However, it is the company’s responsibility to create an environment in which that is possible. If the employer and employee can work together on mutual goals then career management is an opportunity for both parties to grow.
Benefits to your employer
By knowing a team member is planning their career, the employer will benefit from having enough time and resources to:
- Consider any changes to current roles and begin any succession planning activities.
- Build relationships with any departing employees, ex-employees are now viewed as excellent sources of referral if they have departed the company on good terms.
- Identify critical skills necessary for different roles.
- Set a transparent career development path.
