Your HR people may have gone to their touchy-feely meetings with balloons and happy face stickers to develop a best-practice career management program, but, giving credence to your skepticism about that group in general, the program may still not meet the needs of your workers. A recent survey by BlessingWhite found that most workers seldom or never even share their career plans with their employer. What’s more, the survey confirms my belief that many workers don’t even have a clear plan. Members of at least one generation do not believe it is useful to plan their careers. Yet, if careers are not managed appropriately, you are not getting the most out of your workers and adding to reasons why they want to leave.
 
The next questions then are: Do you have a problem with career management, and, if you do, what can you do about it?  I’ll look at that tomorrow.
