Career
Management works hand in hand with the Organisations Career
Development & Planning.
Career
Management is about individuals taking control of their personal
career and not leaving it up to the organisation.
Once individuals
have planned their career goals, they require skills,
competencies and values to execute their career goals with
appropriate career management practices.1
Whilst
it is an integral part of the overall Organisational HRM Plan,
this is much more about taking personal responsibility that
drives their career plan. Incorporating
the essential elements of Career Development & Planning
Career Management takes the process to the next level by:
-
Working
with individuals within the organisation to develop their
career plan and career management strategy.
-
Developing
or reviewing the Organisations plan of succession &
corresponding career development & career management
strategy.
-
Assisting
Management & HR to identify individuals within the
organisation and integrate them into the career development
& career management strategy.
-
Matching
individual career development and Organisational HRM
Strategy
Career
management practices must support individuals in their efforts
to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that will
enable them to be successful.2
Effective career
management practice will help promote employee insight, goal and
strategy development and gather appropriate feedback and assist
employees in using and developing skills and knowledge that will
benefit the organisation and the growth, self esteem and
retention of its employees.
