Thus, managing the business career of employees is one of the priority areas in working with personnel. And while Western companies have been working in this area constantly and for quite a long time, for Russian business this concept is still quite new. The main mechanism for career development is the combination of the interests of the employee (satisfying the needs for life support, social recognition, self-realization) and the organization (effective solution of job tasks). In the process of career implementation, it is important to ensure the interaction of all types of careers.
Employee career management is an event that requires certain material costs on the part of the company. But these costs are more than compensated by the competitive advantages that the company receives in return. Personnel are perhaps the most important resource available to any organization. Consequently, the costs of its development are nothing more than investments in a stable and successful “tomorrow” of the company.
The concept of a career cannot be associated only with work, since a person’s life outside of work and the role he plays in this life has a significant impact on his career, being part of it. A career has its own driving motives, which usually change with age and increasing qualifications.
When managing a career in the process of work, each employee needs to remember the following rules: do not waste time working with a lack of initiative, unpromising boss, become needed by an initiative, operational manager; expand your knowledge, acquire new skills; prepare yourself to take a higher-paying position that becomes (or will become) vacant; get to know and appreciate other people important to your career (parents, family members, friends); make a plan for the day and for the whole week, in which you leave room for your favorite activities; remember that everything in life changes (you, your activities and skills, the market, the organization, the environment), assessing these changes is an important quality for a career; your career decisions are almost always a compromise between desires and reality, between your interests and the interests of the organization; never live in the past: firstly, the past is reflected in our memory not as it really was, and secondly, you cannot return the past; do not allow your career to develop much faster than others; quit as soon as you are convinced that it is necessary; think of the organization as a labor market, but do not forget about the external labor market; do not neglect the organization’s help in finding a job, but when looking for a new job, rely primarily on yourself.
