Career Development Programs

The concept of developing ones career has become the most important benefit that candidates and employees expect from those firms deemed an Employer of Choice. However, many firms hope or expect that career development is something that just happens. During my research, I interviewed a firm that said “We have job opportunities posted on our intranet…..people should apply if they want to grow their career” In today’s competitive war for talent and retention, that is simply not good enough.

Before we begin, you should understand the three stages of career development. The following is a brief description of each stage of the career lifecycle.

Exploration Stage – What do I really want to do?

During the exploration stage, a person explores various occupational alternatives. Employees choose a broad occupation and then narrow their interest by a process of working in different jobs. As employees gain more exposure to a department, organization and/or industry, their interests begin to form. Personal interests drive motivation which drives passion to succeed. This is the best time to start the discussions with employees about their skills and interests and help them map out their possible career options.

Formation Stage – I love this and want to become better!

During the formation stage, an individual has found an occupation that suits him or her and begins to focus on the activities that will help him or her earn stability or mobility within that field. Examples of this would be to pursue additional education, certifications, or promotional opportunities. In the case of the human resources field, employees might start in benefits and then possibly move to another functional area such as recruiting or compensation. Progression is then made to stabilize a specialty and begin to consider their career path that will provide promotional opportunities. This stage is when a career development program must be in place. It is during this stage when employees start considering options inside or outside their existing firm.

Maintenance Stage – I want to be an expert in this area.

During this stage, an individual may become more focused on gaining seniority within their field and achieving recognition as a subject matter expert or mentor of new employees. Individuals in this stage can be utilized as trainers or career coaches for less experienced staff which will further their desire to add more value to a firm.
