Description of Career Management. Explanation.

Definition Career Management. Description.

Career Management can be described as the active and repetitive process of:

Career Assessment of the aspirations and competences of employees,
Career Planning of their career,
Career Guidance of their personal development,

in line with the opportunities in and needs of the organization. Career Management is also possible beyond the boundaries of the current organization and at a personal level (See: Employability).

Amongst the spectrum of activities, methods and techniques that are often used are: training, Coaching, Mentoring, Performance Appraisals, Self-Appraisals, Peer-Appraisals, Behavioral Observation Scales, Competency Assessments, and 360-Degree Feedback.

Career management allows the organization to identify talented employees and to place them in jobs where their skills can be used or further developed effectively. It can be a foundation for Management Succession Planning.

Career Management Practices in Organisations
Career management is about creating an environment where employees clearly see their future growth in the organisation they are working for. Employees are not only interested in what they earn today, but also about their future growth.
This means that professional progression ladders or career paths have to be clearly drawn so that employees can see how they can move upward, downward(?) and horizontally in the organisation (given they have competencies for the job).
This will usher in the need for Individual Development Plans (IDPs), in which employees develop their own individual vision and discuss with their supervisors what kind of developmental intervention they need in order to achieve their vision.
So career management includes career development plans, drawing career paths and identifying critical success factors etc.
