Problem: it helps the high-potential employees but leaves out most
Managers are excepted to develop their people
Problem: some managers don't give mentoring enough attention, mentor only their favorites or hoard talents by discouraging their best workers from exploring other options
employees are empowered to "own" their own career development
Problem: A self-service approach doesn't work for everybody
Why?
The lack of good career advice leads employees to resign
At the same time, companies struggle to find and retain skilled employees
The solution is help from companies to help employees chart a career path because employees would feel fulfilled and the company would keep talents
