Typical Scenarios For Career Development within a company
What do I want to do when I grow up?
Many employees fell into their line of work. Their true vocation lies hidden. As a "misfit" in their job, they feel increasing levels of frustration. Productivity and morale suffer. They yearn to do work they feel naturally talented to do. An in-depth career assessment, training resources and coaching will allow these employees to find their true fit. With support from upper-management, along with flexible organizational structure, these employees can recareer without leaving. This investment can turn a poor or average employee into a star...and your best public relations representative!
I know what I want, but "they" won't let me do it.
Some employees have a secret dream ... to take on a particular project, move into another job or build themselves toward a promotion. They do not know how to communicate their vision or build an "Individual Development Plan" for the future. A career coach can encourage these valuable contributors and serve as their advocate. Both employers and employees need to do "out of the box" thinking to thrive in today's economy.
My life is out of control ... maybe I'll just quit!
Employees face a complex web of obligations and demands. Duel working couples, single parents, re-entry students and boomers taking care of aging parents try to keep all the balls in the air at once. Crisis points will often cause employees to feel they need to quit. Career coaching keeps employees directed until the difficult time passes.
Wonderful talent/difficult personality.
Too often, the shining stars in an organization have distinct personality characteristics that can make them difficult to work with. Maybe they fail to give clear directions, overwhelm the staff or blow up under stress. A career coach can target behavior. that is counterproductive and help the employee learn new skills.
