DonateCareer Strategy Council
In today’s world of work, competition for critical skills important in executing your business strategy is becoming increasingly acute. Your highest skilled and top performing talent is marketable to the outside; and they could be prospects for others to make attractive offers to and acquire. An organization must be focused on both performance and employee career growth in order to retain top talent.
To protect top talent and enable organizational capability to execute business strategy, organizations must work hard to provide resources, processes, and tools that employees can use to manage their careers, and align individual career success with business goals and objectives. In addition, career strategy directly impacts the ability to mobilize internal talent and fill critical skill areas quickly and cost effectively. A strategic approach is necessary, involving many aspects of the business.
Discussion topics for the Council include:
- Career growth: what it means in different organizations and how to make it happen in existing positions (internal mobility programs, informal learning, volunteerism)
