Synopsis
“It’s not just my job — it’s my life.”
According to a recent survey conducted by Gallup, everyone in the world wants a good job. It’s especially true for millennials, who will make up the workforce’s largest proportion by 2025.
Employees are asking, “Does this organization value my strengths and my contributions? Do I get the chance to do what I do best every day? What’s my career future?”
For these employees, a job is no longer just a job — it’s their life as well.
A lifelong career in a single organization for long-term stability is no longer their main goal but rather a desire for personal growth and development within their career paths and aspirations. As the working environment becomes increasingly dynamic in an interconnected world, individuals are open to broader career path options. Values and ambitions for job enrichment and job satisfaction in supportive workplace culture are becoming the key considerations for their career development rather than climbing the corporate ladder.
To boost talent efficacy, employers must ensure motivation and career satisfaction while meeting organizational goals. Research findings suggest employers who provide growth opportunities and encourage continuous skills and professional development would ensure higher job satisfaction and commitment to the workplace.
As such, how can employees’ career growth be supported? Would regular check-ins on development plans ensure the personal development of employees and their careers? How can career roadmaps be incorporated as part of an organization’s talent management strategy?
Join us as industry experts on Career Development bring you through the future of your career ladder, where we will address the questions. The webinar will cover:
- What are the career interventions and the initiatives that employers can take on?
- Why is it crucial for there to be career development?
- How can individuals move up their career ladder, especially in this changing landscape of work?
While you’re here, do take our career development survey. Stay tuned for the results!
*This webinar does not issue any e-certification after the event.
