Career Development in Organizations

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the importance of a career development plan in organizations and what benefits could be derived for various functions within the human resources department and the organization as a whole.

From the Paper:

"What is career development? Many college students have experience with the counseling department, and the career development questionnaires that assess their strengths, weaknesses, and interests then analyze the best careers for their personalities and talents. Career development in the workplace uses similar tools to assess employee strengths and talents, but it also encourages the employee to strive for more, work to their best advantage, and continually grow and change with the company as it grows and changes. Career development is a growing force in the competency of America's workforce, and it is a useful and beneficial tool for just about any Human Resources department. Career development does not encourage the staff to look elsewhere for job satisfaction; it encourages the staff to develop their own potential, while also developing their talents where they are most beneficial to the company. The company wins, the employees win, and the HR department can concentrate on other issues, rather than employee retention and turnover."
