How do we put career development in the hands of our people?
Current and Career Development Planning are no longer "nice-to-have" benefit programs. High performing companies know that employee development programs serve two critical goals:
- They create competitive advantage by providing better qualified employees.
- They are one of the most reliable employee retention techniques, especially for hard to recruit and retain technical employees
focus, human resources software, gives employees and managers all the tools to carry out high impact, cost effective development. Employees may use input from their job description, performance goals and career goals to identify development priorities and create individual development plans.
After selecting their
development priorities, users access the integrated Development Resource
Guide (DRG) to find training that addresses their needs ranging from
traditional classroom to web-based or on the job training
. The DRG also provides other training resources such as books,
tapes, e learning, internal experts,
and blended solutions.
focus assists employees with their long-term Career Development decisions. Employees can search for a job in the company that matches their skills and/or their personal preferences. They can generate a personal development priorities report for any job in the company that interests them.
