Career conversations organizations need and employees want

Survey after survey, employees express their dissatisfaction with how their Company support their development and career. In parallel, managers across regions and industries show high levels of discomfort, and lack of competence and confidence to conduct career conversations with their staff… What’s happening here?
Nowadays, careers cannot be managed by the organization anymore and should be owned and managed by your employees. This shifts the traditional career conversation to a more equal and mutual dialogue where both parties (employee-manager) discuss how to add value to each other and what is needed to keep doing so. They focus on creating win-wins for both parties and don’t shy away from being transparent when needed. We equip both your employees and managers for career conversations 4.0. so they have the right mindset, attitudes and skills to conduct constructive and open dialogue that addresses both organizational and individual needs.
