Career paths are the centerpiece of effective talent management systems. In today’s global and highly competitive environment, it is increasingly important for organizations and managers to focus on successfully moving employees in the workplace. Career Paths offers a career path model and useful tools and tips for developing and implementing career paths and integrating those paths into talent management systems. The authors describe the value of career paths from individual employee, organizational, and industry standpoints and show how career path efforts can be integrated with recruitment and hiring, strategic planning, succession management, employee development, and retention programs. With a sample career path guide and a list of resources organizations can use in developing career paths, this book will be an indispensable reference for HR professionals, managers and executives, training and development professionals, and organizational consultants.
