"With a well-defined #career path, you can attract and retain top talent, demonstrating your commitment to their #longtermsuccess." Do your employees know what it will take to achieve the next milestone in your organization? Do they know the financial impact it could have for them and their families? Do they feel that their time at your company is transactional or an investment? The rewards of an invested employee are powerful for both parties.

The authors worked with 15 organizations and over 7,000 employees to experiment with ways to increase internal career development opportunities and prove promotion isn’t the only way people can advance. They found that when organizations enable ways to progress that go beyond promotion, it unlocks the flow of talent, skills, and strengths. Employees gain opportunities to grow, develop in different directions, and increase their career resilience. In summary, everyone wins. In this article, they share four experiments that unlock career progression.

As we progress in our careers, it's essential to take a step back and reflect on our milestones. By reviewing past achievements, we can analyze what went well and what still needs work. It's equally vital to consider all available options and determine the next steps. Taking the time to evaluate our careers can lead to valuable insights and help us make informed decisions for our future. #careerdevelopment #reflection #nextsteps #career #developyourcareer

"Career development that relies on promotions frequently creates challenges for managers." This is how Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis begin their latest Harvard Business Review article. I know from my own work with clients the power of all four strategies they describe. In fact, I started experimenting with #2 (squiggly stories) about 10 years ago, mapping out the real career paths of executives so that others could see the messy, non-linear, and nearly infinite ways people can grow - even without promotions. As long as we keep conflating career development with promotions, the challenges with continue for managers (as well as organizations). https://lnkd.in/g-MKxpfD #careerdevelopment #careeradvancement #promotionsaresoyesterday
