Why it matters.
When “moving up” seems to be the only rewarding career option, professional growth can feel stagnant and “moving out” of the organization may feel like your talent’s only way forward.
The solution.
Activate the Kaleidoscope Career™ experiences within your organization.
In place of a ladder of promotions, people view their career as a flexible mix of key experiences, creating their own unique growth patterns as they develop and learn.
The Kaleidoscope Career™ experiences:
Grow Here: Enrich
Everyone has the opportunity to grow, right where they are. Growing in place is the anchor experience for every successful career.
Realign
Reshaping a job role may be right for someone who wants to reconcile a change in priorities, interests, a personal situation, or their overall wellbeing.
Grow Here: Explore
Exploratory experiences give individuals a chance to investigate possibilities to provide a road map for potential experiences in the future.
Move Up
A vertical experience makes sense when it works for the organization and, with careful consideration, aligns with an individual’s career goals and aspirations.
Shift Sideways
Lateral experiences offer an individual new perspectives, an opportunity to work with different colleagues, and exposure to new skills and knowledge to be ready for what’s next.
Move On
Sometimes stepping out the door is the best option for someone who can’t find the right career fit. And they can also return with a new wealth of knowledge and skills.
Featured Experience:
Grow Here
Staying right where you are in your career - finding ways to stretch and learn in your current role - is the anchor for expanding your skills to be ready for what's next.
About the Grow Here experience
