This is the question we were asking as APQC embarked on its most recent training and development research study. We wondered: Has the prevalence of job hopping, layoffs, and flat organizations lessened the value of career development in the eyes of employers and employees?   After analyzing the data and studying best-practice organizations, we have our answer and it’s an indisputable—Yes. Career development is not only still relevant but is arguably more relevant than ever. Why? Skills and competencies are becoming obsolete at a quickening pace. Employees see continuous growth and development as essential to staying employed. Employers are looking to career development as a means to lengthen employee tenure and secure the cutting-edge capabilities their business plans require. Rather than turning away from career development, the best-practice organizations that we studied are leveling up the sophistication of their career path tools and then supporting these tools with personalize...

For nearly two decades, Gallup has been tracking employee engagement metrics in the U.S. During that time, data has shown little to no movement. Just 32 percent of employees remain engaged in their work — meaning they are involved, enthusiastic and committed to their work and organization. And while employees are craving advancement opportunities, 40 percent of organizations polled in a survey admit they rarely or never provide career planning or development resources for their employees. For many people who feel stuck in their careers, there comes a point when they realize they’ll need to take their professional development into their own hands. Halelly Azulay, leadership development strategist and author of Employee Development on a Shoestring , says that everyone is responsible for their own development. “By being strategic and intentional about self-development, we can be the masters of our own career trajectories and the stewards of our own careers,” she adds. As you’re being pr...

For any company to grow, its employees must feel empowered on an individual level. Those who use their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged on the job. Those who feel their voice is heard are around 4.6 times more likely to feel empowered to perform their best.  But how to enable this? Studies show that 89% of HR leaders agree that ongoing peer feedback and check-ins are key for successful outcomes. Therefore, managers must put serious effort into their team’s career development planning.  What Is Career Development Planning?  Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was the world’s most successful employee. That’s why everyone must train themselves and develop their careers continuously. A career development plan helps you do just that.

Managers play a crucial role in the career develo...
