Establish an Enterprise-Wide Career Path Framework

Use a consistent career path framework to facilitate employee development and build your talent pipeline.

Book This Workshop

Lack of a clear career path causes:

  • Employee turnover.
  • Complexities in internal transfers of employees.
  • Sticking to traditional, vertical job ladders for employee advancement.
  • Departments to operate in their own way in the absence of a career framework, creating a lack of consistency.

An enterprise-wide career path framework results in:

  • An ease in identifying transferrable skills and opportunities for both employees and managers.
  • An integration of a variety of HR programs that are often disjointed.
  • Employee and manager engagement and retention.
  • A clear understanding of core, common, and job-specific competencies required in the organization.
