Course Overview
Helping employees grow isn’t just good HR, it’s smart business. When people see a clear path for their development, they stay engaged, motivated, and committed. That’s where career development planning comes in.
This four-day, hands-on course is designed to help HR professionals, talent managers, and people leaders design and implement meaningful career development strategies. It goes beyond theory to give you practical tools,templates, and approaches you can use right away.
We start by exploring why career development planning matters, not just for individual growth, but for overall organisational success. You’ll learn how to build a strong business case for career initiatives, understand how to link them with business goals, and identify key indicators for success.
