02 Assessing, Planning and Progressing your Career
This program gives people time for career self-reflection and contemplation. The program delivers a practical framework that participants use to proactively consider their motivation, what they want and don’t want in a job (and why), what they like and don’t like – and why – as well as linking these things to the practicalities of life outside and inside of work.
People also get to actively consider what is their current skill set and what gaps they may have, which can all be mapped to a Capability Framework, as well as what the next steps in their career might be. And then start to formulate a practical action plan to move forward in their career.
That could be a sideways move; a secondment; stepping down to a role with less responsibility; a promotion; or even the realisation of a completely new direction.
The program’s built-in tools are very practical and have been proven in many different scenarios from non-management staff to managers through to senior executives.
This program includes a psychometric assessment to assess participants’ personal Values and Motives (the GeneSys Values and Motives Indicator), as well as the tools to assess their current skills base and to work out their key criteria for what they are looking for in a future role. It also helps them gain insights into what they’re working for and some of the reasons why.
Participants are given a structured framework that can be continued after the course.
