A New Year career resolution

Nick Goddard

Career advancement is a popular New Year resolution for many and there are predictions of more than three quarters of UK professionals intending to look for a new job or change their role in 2022. (1) Their intended changes vary greatly, ranging from reducing hours, to moving roles within an organisation, to choosing a different career path completely.


The ‘Great Reshuffle’ this January means millions of employees are reconfiguring their careers. (2) You may be one of many, who are updating their CV’s or LinkedIn profiles, reviewing career plans and considering how you can recalibrate your career objectives and aspirations.

 

As an employer, it may be timely to help your people develop their careers and, in doing so, ensure that you build and retain a diverse, strong pipeline of future talent and leaders who have the right skills and behaviours to support your business plans for 2022 and beyond.


An ABSTRACT Programme could be a “shot in the arm” needed to help your people to navigate their career, to take responsibility for driving their own destiny and to skilfully navigate the changing landscape.

 

Our career-management development programmes are delivered by our carefully selected, impeccably trained facilitators. Either virtually or face to face, where circumstances allow. Our facilitators are subject matter experts and industry experienced with a deep understanding of people. ABSTRACT’s thought provoking and stimulating learning interventions are designed to support your people to take personal responsibility and control of their career through simple, implementable actions. We believe that the key to a consistent and quality transfer of learning is in the artistry of our delivery, as delegates move through various topics, working on individual tasks to working in pairs or working in small groups. Also, a large element of learning takes place with fun and by operating with each delegate’s respective learning style.

 

The nucleus of our career management development programmes is career choice as delegates consider what role they want, aligned to their career anchors, values and individual strengths. They will determine what behaviours are needed and what actions they will choose to take to influence them achieving the role or kind of roles that they aspire to. Our award-winning learning and development programmes are also designed to underpin your corporate objectives and departmental goals, to bring about individual or group behavioural transformation to enable your business to benefit from the full potential of your people.

 

Through our depth of expertise and intelligence in human behaviours, we have an enviable track record in behavioural and cultural transformation through educational programmes that will support career management for under-represented groups and help you to build a modern-day business fit for today’s social objectives.

 

Businesses must reassess their processes, embrace new ideas and transform the workplace culture to engage and retain employees in the year ahead. And ABSTRACT is here to help you in 2022, offering a diverse range of programmes. Get in touch to find out more.
