Employees and Employers Have Roles to Play in Career Development

It is in your best interest to have employees who are growing and advancing in their careers. One is because they continue to become more valuable to the organization, which you need.

At work, we are asked to make adjustments all the time. In our modern, technological jobs, we are constantly facing change. The individuals and teams who will succeed are the ones who’ve gotten comfortable with it. They’ve prepared for the change and know they can adjust on the fly because they know the work well and are used to making the proper decisions. Those who don’t have a deep understanding of what is going on will overreact to change and commit turnovers.
