Career management is a concept that has been debated in organizations for years. The key question has been whether it is a soft benefit for employees, with the organization seeing no return on its investment, or whether there are tangible benefits in companies implementing career-management practices. In work at Drake Beam Morin, it was found that employers who focus on the professional development of their staff see a reduction in turnover, heightened motivation, improved satisfaction, and more effective succession planning. Active strategies like career workshops and employee training are implemented for the express purpose of career management. Passive strategies can include regular performance reviews and provision of key performance indicators. Few organizations encompass their career-management practices within an overall strategy incorporating both active and passive activities. It is important to strike the right balance between these approaches, and one that is right for the organization.
