Reimagining career development

“Talented people are going to develop careers somewhere. How can you make sure it’s with you and your organization?”
– Julie Winkle Giulioni

During our weekly collaboration call, several of our partners shared client stories about how they are helping organizations invest in their employees’ career development, an increasingly hot topic in our world.

One of those stories, about a traditional organization that operates without remote or hybrid working environments, underscored career development as a competitive advantage for retaining and engaging employees. That’s especially important now, when employees may be tempted to leave for more flexible opportunities. Our thought leader partner Julie Winkle Giulioni’s Developing Multidimensional Careers program is making a difference in these efforts.

Another story, from a global trade association, highlighted the need for further developing their culture of learning. A yearly organization-wide meeting presented an opportunity to focus on career development for all levels of the organization. Our thought leader partner Christine DiDonato’s dynamic AccelerateME provided just the energizer needed.

Another global company, in the material handling and logistics automation space, leveraged two great experiences as part of their journey in career development, involving both the managers and employees for maximum impact. Highlights include a 360, Christine DiDonato’s AccelerateME, and a program developed from Help Them Grow Or Watch Them Go, Julie Winkle Giulioni’s international bestselling book.

These solutions empower managers to support their direct reports in new ways while also helping them own their own career development. Reach out to your Advantage Partner or contact us to learn more about how these and other programs can help in your efforts!

As Julie Winkle Giulioni said in her recent book Promotions Are SO Yesterday, “Passion without action is of little value.”
