How to empower your people to own their careers
We all have different communication styles. If yours is holding you back from starting to network, check out my script to get your career conversations started!
I recently had the pleasure of hosting some legends of people & culture, learning and development, brand marketing, and more, for roundtable sessions exploring “How to empower your people to own their careers”.
We explored broader market challenges, with the group citing:
- Talent shortages (90%)
- Mental health & wellbeing (73%)
- Economic uncertainty (45%), as impacting their organisations,
Together with internal barriers, including:
- ❌ Lack of progression opportunities
- ❌ Minimal budgets & resources
- ❌ Lack of leaders’ focus – capacity or capability
We celebrated the magic when you get it right, through metrics like
- ✔ Higher retention
- ✔ Increased engagement
- ✔ Increased capability and performance
And the group walked away with some new ideas:
- 💡Career playbooks for People Leaders with practical team activities
- 💡Self-assessment activities to highlight transferable skills & strengths
- 💡Cross generational buddies, reverse mentoring and more!
