Career development in progress
When employees do what they’re good at and know what energizes them, it shows in the workplace: more enjoyment, more motivation, more results.
Career development is the way to uncover these strengths and driving forces. It helps employees make informed choices, continue to develop themselves, and stay active—in their current role or elsewhere.
Want to get started with career development in your organization? MEPD is happy to think along with you.
Career development: Clearer understanding of behavior and drivers
In career development, we primarily focus on guiding your employee’s career direction. Career development is the way to discover where your people’s strengths lie. A career program provides a complete picture of competencies, development opportunities, character, and motivation.
Personal career coaching accelerates employees’ development process. You gain more insight into their values and talents—and where their pitfalls are. How can they break through behavioral patterns? Do your employees have (personal) leadership qualities? By using personal career development, you quickly gain insight and results with high returns. The MEPD career advisor can also contribute to this.
During the career program, your employee gets answers to the questions: Who am I, what do I want, and what can I do? By following a program with tests focused on talents, interests, drivers, and abilities, employees are supported in answering these questions. During the career development sessions, the results are discussed, and the employee receives a clear profile outlining their qualities, strengths and weaknesses, job preferences, and more. Based on this, we create an action plan and career advice with concrete goals and actions to shape the desired career path.
Research shows that satisfaction with the work situation rises after completing career development—even if the situation itself remains unchanged. Thanks to career development, employees feel supported in their growth, which increases motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction.
An additional benefit: practice shows that employees become more proactive and take action sooner to adjust dissatisfying work situations in time through career counseling. A true win-win situation!
