Making sure you are equipped to have informed career progression discussions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suit: Supported by my Manager<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, proactivity comes in the shape of education and knowledge. And by that we mean that managers should be aware and informed of the opportunities available within their organisations, and ensure they bring those up with staff on a regular basis in order to help people understand the many options to choose from when it comes to reaching their professional goals. So the real question is, are you having those kinds of career conversations organically and proactively with your people? If not, you may need to go back to the drawing board and connect with your HR team. And once you have the information you need, find time and space to focus on having proactive career development conversations with your people, as this is one of the most important tasks on a leader\u2019s to-do list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that some of you may be leading very big teams and meeting with each individual regularly could be quite time-consuming. Easy peasy: empower your team leaders. Role model what you expect from them by helping them enhance their own careers, and encourage them to do the same with their direct reports. Career development should start at the top and trickle down. Although it can sometimes get stuck, so if you or one of your team leaders need some development in that area, reach out to your HR department, be open to learning new ways of guiding your staff and ask for some coaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember that opportunities come in all shapes and forms. Think of development creatively: set stretching goals for your team, involve individuals in a new project or give a promising person the opportunity to line manage someone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to career progression, both formal and informal training have their purpose and giving your staff a say in how to take charge of their career goals will ensure they feel engaged in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And make sure you stay tuned for more tips on how to generate motivation around career development<\/a>, both for yourself and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
