Reinventing the Career Conversation in a Time Starved World
Join Dr. Beverly Kaye, an internationally recognized authority on career issues and on retention and engagement in the workplace, as she shares findings from her new book Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want. Study after study shows what employees want most is support for their professional development and career growth, and that offering this to them is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving employee engagement, retention, productivity, and performance results. However, in spite of this information being widely understood and acknowledged, career development in organizations often gets ‘sidelined’ and employees are left feeling overlooked and undervalued as a result.
In order to achieve and sustain high levels of performance, there must be a link between what an individual employee is passionate about and what the organization needs to grow its business. To create this linkage, every manager is accountable for facilitating periodic professional development discussions with each of their employees. Research suggests that if an individual is positively challenged, finds work to be meaningful, and believes that their manager truly cares about their growth, their engagement will be high.
This session sheds a much needed light on effective methods and specifically what managers can do - within the time-starved, priority-rich, pressure-cooker environment in which they operate - to support employees’ careers and enhance organizational performance results. You will walk away with practical tools, implementation recommendations, and a new simplified model that will help managers from your organization:
- Understand the perceived barriers faced in holding career discussions
- Gain perspective on alternatives to the career ladder
- Learn and practice an approach to growing in place
- Apply a new focus on the Individual Development Plan
- Follow a model to the career conversation
- Dialogue with internal practitioners about their best practices
