subject: How To Reach Your Career Peak As Soon As Possible [print this page] People have different plans for their future, including career planning. To co-ordinate the personal purposes and requirements of the organization for the personnel as much as possible, many companies plan career ways of their workers. Certainly, not everyone wants to become "chiefs" but what the company can contribute reasonable resources in its employees, it should carefully estimate every member of its personnel. Results of such estimation will allow revealing groups of employees for whom it is necessary to plan their career development.
What is necessary to be estimated?
First of all abilities and personal characteristics of the worker:
Administrative and professional potential;
The aspiration professionally to take place;
Loyalty to the organization.
Besides features of workers, it is necessary to consider how moving of the person from a position to position in the organization will affect efficiency of division in which the worker will be included, and also in what way a new employee will be more compatible to the colleagues. That is especially important, of course, when someone applies to chief position. Therefore it is desirable to estimate and such factors, as:
Dynamics of change of group tendencies in division;
Interpersonal compatibility of workers.
Degree of success of career of each separate employee in many ways depends on how much he or she is motivated to changes, therefore when estimating it is desirable to reveal the most significant for the concrete person motivation to career development. As such motivations can be:
The status. It is important for those workers who are sensitive to "prestige", appreciate the power, influence, promotion (giving to them position in a society, attention and respect).
Well-being. It operates on workers for whom good material maintenance, confidence of tomorrow, an order, comfortable living conditions and work are the most important.
Uniqueness. These workers are carried away by singularity, perspectives of a problem, its intellectual complexity and absence of obvious decisions, scale of offered projects etc.
Preservation of the reached level (well-being, the status, uniqueness). For these workers increase of level of material welfare, the status, and uniqueness will be not obligatory to improve productivity, and here fall will be reflected in productivity negatively.
