For many people, the end of the work week can’t come quick enough. But what if we could pinpoint what was missing from our working lives? And better yet, do something about it.​

Read on for the top 5 reasons regular career check-ins should be an integral part of your working life.

​

• #1 Career Ownership: Actively reviewing your career, reinforces a sense of ownership over your professional journey. It’s easy to feel swept along by business needs, personal commitments or what you’ve been brought up to think about work. Periodic reflection allows us to take control of our path and be intentional about our next move.​
• #2 Skill Assessment: Career reviews allow you to evaluate your evolving skills and competencies in light of the changing job market, technology and your own stage of life. These regular “check-ins” ensure that you are not just adapting to the trends but are staying ahead of them.​
• #3 Career Satisfaction: Regular reflection helps you determine whether your current roles and responsibilities align with your core values and personal aspirations. This contributes to a more fulfilling and satisfying professional life.​
• #4 Growth Opportunities: A proactive review can identify potential opportunities for growth within your current role or gives you the nudge to seek something else. It allows you to be on the lookout for prospects that can advance or diversify your career, instead of waiting for opportunities to come to you.​
• #5 Risk Management: Regular career review is a form of managing risk. By evaluating your role, organisation, market trends, and your own aspirations, you can better anticipate changes to act decisively, rather than being caught off guard.​
