T8: Employee Development (Ch 9)
The changing nature of a 'career'
'Protean career' - ability to change regularly, versatile. The jungle gym, not the ladder. The driver is 'psychological success', i.e. pride/accomplishment.
Boundary-less careers have emerged because employees:
move across employers/professions
may identify more with a profession than an employer
consider personal/family needs when considering careers
pursue personal goals through work, not just company goals
Career resilience - the capacity to adapt to organisation changes by building portable knowledge and skills.
Development features
IDP - Individual development plan
70-20-10
70% comes from on-the-job
20% from relationships and informal learning
10% from formal courses
Future-oriented - focus on requirements for future changes, not directly to the employees current role
Reduces job hopping as employees feel they have good opportunities to develop skills/experiences right where they are
