Clarity on how employees can develop and advance their careers
A career framework is a structured system that outlines the various roles within an organisation, the skills and competencies required for each role, and the potential pathways for career progression.
What opportunities are there for career development? How do I progress into a leadership role? What competencies do I need to develop to be considered for promotion? What types of career path are open to me in this organisation? I would love to be considered for a transfer to an office in another country, what is the process for this to happen?
These questions and many more are ones line managers often struggle with, especially where there is a lack of a clear path for employees.
What is a career framework?
A career framework goes above and beyond answering these questions. It promotes talent retention and engagement through clear growth opportunities and promotes fairness and transparency in promotions and role changes. It is also an excellent vehicle for workforce planning, reward management and succession strategies.
We work with you to understand your business goals and review current components of a career framework. Some organisations find a career framework essential as they transition to a new HRIS or undergo HR transformation in order to inform a more centralised process. Others use career frameworks to blend together talent structures due to M&A or organisational restructuring. Whatever the reason, we will plan carefully the activities needed to reach the agreed end goals and partner with key stakeholders to create a fit-for-purpose framework that will be easy to use.
