Career Development Series For Organisations

Career Development Workshop Series for Organisations and Their Employees

Research consistently shows that career development opportunities are the most significant driver of employee engagement, retention, and performance,  above salary, above benefits, and above leadership quality. Yet most organisations expect employees to develop their careers largely on their own, with minimal structured support. This workshop series changes that,  giving employees the practical tools to take ownership of their professional growth with leadership support.

This commitment to the personal development for employees from leaders is a game changer for employee engagement and employee retention.

Format

A series of  6 x workshops which can be booked as a package or individually.

Duration: 2 hours per workshop

Location: In person or online

Who Should Attend

• Employees at any level who want to take a more active, strategic approach to their career development
• Women and underrepresented employees who feel their career progress is slower than their performance warrants
• Organisations who want to provide structured career development support beyond annual appraisals
• HR and L&D professionals looking for a high-quality career development programme to offer employees

What This Series of Workshop Covers

1. Creating a Career Strategy for a Satisfying Professional Life

Most people manage their careers reactively,  responding to opportunities and setbacks rather than shaping them. This session introduces a strategic framework for career ownership. It gives particpants insght to understanding their current value,  transferable strengths, the landscape they are operating in, and the direction they want to move in aligned with your values to benefit the individual and the business

 2. Goal Setting That Actually Works

The difference between goal-setting as an HR process and goal-setting as a genuine navigation tool which aloigns with your values and vision. Participants create specific, realistic, and motivating professional goals,  including how to set goals that accommodate the non-linear realities of working life and career breaks. This leads to more stable careers and better succession planning.

 3. Career Mapping and Progression Planning

How to map the landscape between where and employees and where they  want to be,  identifying the skills, experiences, relationships, and visibility they need to build. How to have effective career conversations with managers, mentors and sponsors. How to access the informal development opportunities that are just as important as formal ones.

4. Navigating Male Dominated Workplaces

If your organisation is a male dominated environment and you have concerns that your women employees are mystified by the ways things seem to happen,  then this workshop is ideal. Gain an understanding of the unwritten rules of male organisations so they understand how things work and some of the barriers and biases they may encounter.

5. Visibility, Networking and Finding a Sponsor

The practical skills of self-advocacy, professional visibility, and confident self-presentation that determine who gets noticed, sponsored, and promoted. With specific attention to the dynamics that make visibility harder for women and underrepresented groups,  and practical strategies to navigate them.

6. Maximising the potential of an international assignment

An international assignment has been identified as a career catapult. Train your particpants on how to position themselves for an international role, the questions they should ask and how to get best value from the assignment.
