Career Management & Development

Empower employees to manage and develop their careers.

Job changes are more frequent than ever before, and employees are seeking support in order to more effectively manage their own careers. Organizations that are ready to engage in career conversations and provide career coaching will have a competitive advantage when it comes to recruiting and retaining talent.

Stewart Leadership’s career development consultants partner with organizations to help their employees achieve their career goals. Using our Career Management Framework and process, employers will be able to help employees identify what they want to do next and how they’ll get there through self-reflection and discovery.

Organizations without succession plans ultimately face the cost of replacing key leaders and dealing with a constant turnover of talent. Our succession planning consultants partner with you to build a strategic workforce plan ensuring that the right people are doing the right jobs – for years to come.

Top 5 Career Management Competencies

When we partner with an organization, we’ll work together to identify relevant career competencies that will support the employee’s needs in order to develop skills and better manage their career. Our career development consultants often suggest these five career management competencies to start:

Career Planning
Employees need to develop a strategic career plan so they can confidently communicate what they want, why they want it, and their plan to get there. Organizations can help employees with their career plan by taking time to explore their individual interests, needs, and wants. It’s important for employees to understand their value to the organization. A career plan can help to identify which skills need to be developed and how. Finally, a career plan should help employees identify what role they’re aspiring to next, and what their plan is to get there.
Personal Branding
Employees must understand the importance of their reputation in the workplace and how their personal brand is vital to managing their career. Organizations can help employees improve their personal brands by offering guidance to polish up on interpersonal skills and managing emotions. Personal branding also refers to an employee’s bio, credentials, internal resume, and social media activity.
Networking
Employees understand they need to build relationships to eventually create a strong network over time — how to build and nurture these relationships to support their career development isn’t quite as straightforward as it seems. Organizations can support employees by helping them prepare for networking events and conferences and by providing guidance on how to follow-up effectively to maintain their connections.
Interviewing
Employees should continue developing interview skills, specifically focusing on understanding the interviewing style preferred by their organization. This way, employees will be prepared to use stories and real-life examples to emphasize their accomplishments when they have the opportunity to advance within the organization.
Conversational Intelligence
Employees will want to know and understand the advancement opportunities available within their organization. Organizations should ensure this information is clear and readily available. However, more importantly, organizations must make sure employees know how to discuss career opportunities and when to approach their manager.
