Career Plan?

By Alex Gelinski*

It is common for everyone to be concerned about career plan and the best companies to work for. However, I’d like to show how companies may lose if they do not enhance their contributors´ value and growth.

Studies show that companies can reach better growth rates if they adopt a career plan policy. These organizations are not just worried about their contributors´ future but they also have an holistic approach which believes a company must develop talents to be within a scope of an organization that fits our current business scenario.

One of the problems found in organizations that do not present a steady growth is the fail in exploring their contributors´ skills. Some professionals say that they could aggregate more results, however, their position in the company does not allow it.

Not always only the upward growth brings benefits both to the company and to the professionals. Maybe just by changing positions with the same salary generates positive results. It is only a matter of identifying the contributors´ skills in order to know how they can have a better performance. As a consequence, both will gain advantage and such initiative will boost their career.

For several companies this is the ideal strategy to avoid firing staff and improve the performance of the team.

The best way to discover the contributors’ skills is through a competence analysis when we can find out how much percent of their performance has been used. Medium-sized companies are the ones that mostly need this kind of service because they grow at a faster pace and are more likely to strike up a crisis.
