COMPANY opportunities permit. The program is designed to help team members make
the most of their capabilities. Career development is based upon a combination
of
self-development and utilizing the individual development plan (IDP) with
constant evaluation and guidance by management. This program has been
established to enhance team members’ capabilities for progressing to positions
of
greater responsibility. These programs are tailored to facilitate both the
successful
accomplishment of the COMPANY mission in the area of resources management
and to provide team members an excellent opportunity for full and rewarding
careers.
Career Development Assistance. Team members are encouraged to consult with their
supervisors,
human resources offices, and Career Development
Steering Committee members on any matter requiring further information or
guidance. For questions regarding career development opportunities in elements
of
the COMPANY'S other than natural resources management, team members should
contact
their human resources offices.

Committee is a group of management personnel selected from HR/

important that team members become actively involved in the development
of their own IDP training plan by discussing training needs with the

training needed to improve the team member’s job performance and to

SOME MORE RESOURCES TO CONSIDER
Corporate Career Pathing
Career pathing programs provide both an analytical approach and practical
implementation tools for maximizing strategic planning, succession planning,
executive development, and employee retention strategies. By defining core
competencies and correctly aligning your human capital plan to your overall
strategic plan, you can help to reach your corporate goals by ensuring the right
people are in the right roles at the right time.
By developing appropriately designed career pathing models closely tied to
performance appraisal systems, you can see bottom-line results from retention of
high potentials, increased employee productivity and morale, and an improved

6. ability for employees to adapt to change and take on new responsibilities. The
approach provides you a practical implementation that has a positive impact on
recruiting, compensation, and individual effectiveness.
what is career pathing and career planning
Career Pathing is a set of diverse strategies that develop
articulated connections between jobs in the same or related industries to
achieve occupational advancement or increased wages, skills and benefits for
workers.
A sampling of strategies that are commonly used in career pathing include:
Ø Developing curriculum for new training to advance in a career field;
Ø Creating new job classifications that can provide additional ’steps up’ in a
field;
Ø Training workers to start Being more productive.
Ø Working with employers to articulate paths or skill standards for advancement
where
none existed previously;
Ø Upgrading skills for low-skill workers;
Ø Providing technical assistance to employers to demonstrate how to implement
career
pathways;
Ø Creating new strategies for credentialing workers;
Ø Building education and training benefits packages where they don’t already
exist;
Ø Investing in career counseling and mentoring programs for low-wage workers.
FOR THE SUCCESS OF SUCH CAREER PATHING PROGRAMS,
THE FOLLOWING APPROACH WOULD BE USEFUL.
SUCCESSION PLAN
Performance appraisal-------------------------------potential assessment
CAREER PLANNING
CAREER DEVELOPMENT PORGRAMS
personal development--training/development--career counseling--mentoring
=================================================
CAREER PLANNING
Career Planning is a critical element / outcome of SUCCESSION PLANNING,
Performance appraisal and Potential assessment systems.
The process of career planning
Career planning is the key process in career management. It uses all the
information provided by the organization's assessments of requirements, the
assessments of performance and potential and the management succession plans,
and translates it in the form of individual career development programs and
general arrangements for management development, career counseling, mentoring
and management training.
Career planning the competency band approach
It is possible to define career progression in terms of the competencies
required by individuals to carry out work at progressive levels of
responsibility or contribution. These levels can be described as competency
bands.
Competencies would be defined as the attributes and behavioral characteristics
needed to perform effectively at each discrete level in a job or career family.
The number of levels would vary according to the range of competencies required

7. in a particular job family. For each band, the experience and training needed to
achieve the competency level would be defined.
These definitions would provide a career map incorporating 'aiming points' for
individuals, who would be made aware of the competency levels they must reach in
order to achieve progress in their careers. This would help them to plan their
own development, although support and guidance should be provided by their
managers, and HR specialists . The provision of additional experience and
training could be arranged as appropriate, but it would be important to clarify
what individual employees need to do for themselves if they want to progress
within the organization.
The advantage of this approach is that people are provided with aiming points
and an understanding of what they need to do to reach them. One of the major
causes of frustration and job dissatisfaction is the absence of this
information.
A competency band career development approach can be linked to
Aiming points
1. Competence band 1 definition
Basic training and experience
2. Competence band 2 definition
Continuation of medium training and experience
3.Competence band 3 definition
Continuation of advanced training and experience
Career planning is for core people as well as high flyers
The philosophy upon which career plans are based refers not only to advancing
careers to meet organizational and individual requirements, but also the need to
maximize the potential of the people in the organization in terms of
productivity and satisfaction under conditions of change, when development does
not necessarily mean promotion.
career planning is for individuals as well as the organization
Career planning procedures are always based on what the organization needs. But
they have to recognize that organizational needs will not be satisfied if
individual needs are neglected. Career planning has to be concerned with the
management of diversity.
Career plans must therefore recognize that:
* members of the organization should receive recognition as individuals with
unique needs, wants, and abilities;
* individuals are more motivated by an organization that responds to their
aspirations and needs;
* individuals can grow, change and seek new directions if they are given the
right opportunities, encouragement and guidance.
Career planning techniques
Career planning uses all the information generated by the succession plans,
performance, and potential assessments and self assessments to develop programs
and procedures which are designed to implement career management policies,
achieve succession planning objectives and generally improve motivation,
commitment and performance.
