Career Management Software

Having a successful and well-planned Career Management program ensures that employees with the necessary skill sets and capabilities are provided development opportunities and advancement for the most critical roles in your organization. With Career Management, leaders can create a team-oriented organization that helps future proof their workforce and leads to increased business success. 

Career management software helps businesses support their employees’ growth and development. It provides tools for employees to set career goals, explore opportunities within the company, access learning resources, and track their progress. This fosters employee engagement, improves retention rates, and helps businesses cultivate internal talent.

Career development software creates better career strategies, facilitates internal movement, and identifies talent risks. Managers and employees can clearly define role responsibilities and set expectations together so that employees receive feedback that’s specific to their development plan.  

Key features include: 

Role & Growth Profiles: Use role responsibility profiles to ensure employees are meeting expectations and highlight where they can improve. 

Competencies:  Add expected assessments to indicate where an employee stands relative to their existing role or potential future roles. 

Job Assessments: Evaluate responsibilities in an assigned role to make sure there is alignment in expectations. 

Employee Ratings: Use a 9-box grid to visualize individual employee performance and develop coaching strategies so they can better achieve their potential. 

Talent Attributes:  Compile employee insights to make proactive decisions and track the career progression of your workforce 

Role-based Reviews:  Responsibilities can be assessed directly in a review, making for one simple workflow during the review cycle 

Career Management helps to remove the complexity by providing standard templates and fillable checklists for easy implementation of your succession strategy. This allows managers to better coach their employees, by driving employee engagement with clear expectations, action-oriented assessments, and competencies by role. As a result, employees will know exactly what’s needed to move to the next level. 

With standard templates across the organization, managers have guidance on how to better coach their employees. All assessments and career development feedback flow seamlessly into your employee’s performance reviews, removing duplicate work or the need to toggle between two different tools.

Career development software shows employees that you’re invested in their future. By providing tools for goal setting, skill development, and career planning, it empowers employees to grow and advance within the company. This increases engagement and job satisfaction, making employees less likely to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Implementation time for career management software varies depending on the complexity of the system and the size of your business.
