A video sparked my interest that shared thoughts and advice on the changes to career development that has been displayed in recent years, by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis (Authors of ‘The Squiggly Career’). Traditional ways of career development or progression has been a ladder-like image, driven by job titles that stepped up along the way with experience and increasing responsibilities. However, with newer generations bringing a different perspective into the workplace, there has been a shift toward lateral movement in career paths or, as referred to by Tupper & Ellis (2021), a squiggly path. These are career paths that change fields or roles, not particularly moving in a stepped manner. This creates an opportunity for individuals to learn more about their talents and where it might be a better fit, as well as their passions to identify jobs that may be more fulfilling than their initial trajectory. We play the most important role in driving our career development, along with colleagues, mentors and employers. I believe that this new perspective on career paths provides endless opportunities, encourages creativity and creates a broader understanding. I would like to see more companies embrace this, such as through role rotation or job shadowing, allowing employees to take risks in their careers within an organisation. This leads to employees using their talents more effectively, encourages skills sharing and expands employee knowledge on different facets of the business, positively impacting the organisation. With newer possibilities and changing the way we view career development, what does career development look like for you?

Year start post... your former employees never truly leave.   People who’ve parted ways with your company will continue working for you.   No, I haven’t caught fever. 😀 Let me explain my point. 📍These people will become advocates for your company.   📍They gain new skills, refine old ones, and maybe even develop new soft skills. Eventually, they might want to return, bringing back improved expertise.   📍Former employees might share honest public feedback about their time with you. This feedback can show where processes need improvement.   📍They're growing their careers among like-minded peers. As a result, your ex-employees might refer people who trust them to your company.   You've learned four key reasons why alumni are invaluable.   👆And don't forget the fifth: staying grounded and valuing relationships.   Your alumni are those you've already connected with. Cheers to #MobiLumni and I truly hope our paths cross this year!
