Career Conversations Employees Want: The Essential Role of the Manager
2014 Annual Conference
Workplace Application: Learn practical approaches to assist managers in demystifying the individual development planning process and take immediate action.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available
Development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving engagement, retention, productivity, and results. Yet, leaders know that career development is frequently the thing that gets sidelined unless or until the organization demands that some form be submitted during regular review cycles. This session sheds a much needed light specifically on what managers can do — within the time-starved, priority-rich, pressure cooker environment in which they operate — to support employees’ careers. Kaye will help you understand the barriers that managers face in holding career discussions and how to break through them. You will learn how to institutionalize the individual development plan in your organization as well as a phased approach to support mobility and alternative career paths.
