Career Counselling

How we can help

Most organisations now expect employees to take responsibility for their own careers in line with the new "psychological contract". That said 'opting-out' of the process is simply a recipe for allowing turnover to increase, very often amongst those groups you would least like to lose. As an employer you can provide information about jobs, roles & skills as well as feedback & performance, but quite often what is missing from an employee perspective is:

• How to make the move
• Understanding the gaps between where I am & where I want to be
• Knowing whether I am suited to this type of role
• Understanding whether the role will allow me to do the things I want in the way I want to do them
• Knowing what I will have to do to make a success of any move once I get into the role
• Knowing how to assess my suitability
• Understanding whether I will enjoy it
• Undertstanding whether taking the role is sensible move in terms of where I've been or where I want to be longer term

At  your career we can help your employees to explore their career options & plan action by providing an expert independent ear & a sounding board for their ideas.

Research shows that effective career discussions can provide:

• A clearer sense of direction

• A more realistic view of abilities and potential

• A better understanding of career choices and options set alongside lifestyle needs and preferences

• Increased self confidence, motivation and effectiveness

Often the result of career counselling is staying put – but doing the same role, better !
