4. Definition: Career
management
Career management is the process through
which employee:
.*Become aware of their own interests,
values, strengths, and weakness
.*0btain information about job
opportunities within company
.*Identify career goal
. *Establish action plan to achieve

5. Importance of career management
Weak career management:
*From company perspectives the failure to
motive employee to plan their career can
result in:
- A Shortage of employees to fill open position.
-Lower employee commitment
-Inappropriate use of monies allocated from
training and developmental programs.

6.  From company perspectives lack of career
management can result in:
 -frustration
 -feeling of not being valued by company
 -being unable to find suitable employment should a
job change be necessary due to mergers, acquisition,
restructuring, downsizing.

7. Strong career management:
 Well-planned and executed career programs will benefit both the
organization and the employees in a number of ways. These include
the following:
 Staffing inventories. Effective career management will help ensure a
continuous supply of professional, technical and managerial talent so
that future organizational goals may be achieved.

8.  Staffing from within. Because of the many potential
advantages of promotion from within, most organizations
like to promote employees when positions become
available. But recruitment from within requires a strong
career management programme to guarantee that
employees can perform effectively in their new jobs

9.  3-Peter Principle: Observation that in a hierarchy
people tend to rise to "their level of
incompetence." Thus, as people are promoted,
they become progressively less-effective because
good performance in one job does not guaranty
similar performance in another

10.  4- Solving staffing problems. Certain staffing
problems may be remedied through effective career
management. First, a high rate of employee turnover
may be caused, at least in part, by a feeling that
little opportunity exists within the organization.
Second, recruiting new employees may be easier if
applicants realized that the company develops its
employees and provides career opportunities.

11.  5- Satisfying employee needs. The current generation of
employees is very different from those of generations
past. Higher levels of education have raised career
expectations.
 6- Enhanced motivation. Because progression along the
career path is directly related to job performance, an
employee is likely to be motivated to perform at peak
levels so that career goals may be accomplished.

12. 7- Employment equity.
 Guidelines demand fair and equitable recruiting,
selection and placement policies and the
elimination of discriminatory practices concerning
promotions and career mobility- Many affirmative
action programs contain formal provisions to
enhance the career mobility of women and other
formerly excluded groups, including the
development of career paths and the design of
formal T&D activities.

13. Indicators of Career Program Effectiveness
 Matching the Standards with the Results: Comparison between already
established goals and objectives and achievement is the biggest indicator of
the effectiveness of a career program.
Greater Self Awareness among Employees: The effectiveness of the program
can also be measured by the degree of increase in self-awareness among
employees. If they feel that they have achieved greater self-awareness and
self-determination and acquired necessary and useful information about their
career, the program is definitely a big success.

14.  Balance between Employee and Organization Requirements and
Objectives:
Implementation of a career development program should result in
better communication at all levels within the organization, a
balance match between individual and organizational career and
identification of talent pool by HR specialists are other major
indicators that can help you measure the effectiveness of a career
development program.

15.  Changes in Performance Indexes:
Improved employee performance ratings, improved
employee morale, reduced turnover rates; reduced
employee absenteeism, increased promotions from
within and reduced time to fill job openings are other
positive indicators for measuring the effectiveness of a
career program

Includes:
 Position system as a response to business need.
 Employ & Manger participates in system

identify and understand their career interests, values, aptitudes, and
behavioral tendencies.

short and long term goals. Action plans may

20. Steps of Effective Career Management
1) Mapping is something we all do all of the time. It is how we make sense of
our surroundings, wherever you are in your career journey, and whatever
your situation, good mapping is good practice. A particular issue is to fully
understand what exactly your situation is. This requires reflection before
rushing to action
2) Planning This is the step that provides the opportunity to verify assumptions,
and get feedback from others on how you “show up,” along with possible next
steps, the core elements of any Plan are to begin by defining objectives and
benefits.

21. (3 Exploring
Different routes, different outcomes? This is the real
time follow on from the back room planning phase
where ideas are ready to be tried out. Actively
exploring different routes requires the sharing and
testing of ideas, and constructively and non-
judgmentally processing others perceptions and
opinions

capabilities.

 Personal Characteristics: When you are in the process of choosing a
career, you should do a thorough self-assessment. It will allow you to
learn what your personality type, interests, aptitudes and work-related
values are.

29.  Socio-Economic Factors: Socio-economic factors can be a barrier to
career development. They can significantly influence your ability to
pursue a career that is otherwise a good match for you. For example,
your financial situation may threaten to keep you from getting the
necessary education. Fortunately, there are ways of overcoming
barriers such as limited financial resources, namely student loans,
financial aid and scholarships.

30.  Physical and Mental Abilities: Some of us are better suited to some careers than we are to
others due to our physical and mental abilities, and limitations. For example, you may
want to become a doctor but don't have the intellectual ability to get into medical school.
You should, if possible, find a related occupation that makes the best use your strengths
while accommodating your limitations.
 Chance Factors: Chance factors are life events over which we have little or no control.
They can influence what careers we choose and how we progress in them. An example
would be an individual not being able to advance in his career because he is a caregiver for
a relative.

40. Steps to Create Your Own Career
Development Plan
 Step 1: Figure out Your Destination
 As with all efforts, you must be clear about your direction when
you create your own career development plan. You don’t take a
road trip without knowing where you want to end up.

41.  Don’t make a goal just for the sake of making one. You
need a goal that really rings your chimes and helps to
motivate you into action. If you’re making a goal based on
what someone else wants, it also isn’t going to be that
compelling for you. Being clear on your direction means
being clear that this direction is inspiring and motivational
and knowing what is driving you to it.

42. Step 2: Do a Gap Analysis
 A gap analysis is where you figure out the differences in the
qualifications between where you are right now and your two-year goal
or next step.
 Using a job posting or job description for the position you are aiming at
is a good way to get specific information about the skills and experience
that are expected.
 Go through the job description line item by line item and rate your
current state of skills, education, or experience to what is listed.

43.  Once you have completed this exercise, identify all of the items where there is
anywhere from a fair amount to a substantial amount of development that is needed.
Look for commonalities and clump those together as a category. You will discover that
there will be themes to your gaps.
Step 3: Create Your Development Plan
You are now fully armed with a clear two-year goal and all the details of
where and what you need to develop to get you where you want to go. Your
plan will be best if you can consult with your boss and/or a mentor to help
you with ideas of how to get the skills you need to add.

44. Usually there are multiple ways of accumulating the needed skills. You
may also want to have multiple ways of beefing up your skill set to add
depth to it. An example is if you want to move to a project
management position, you may want to get certification and also to ask
for project responsibilities.
