Your ERS - Career Pathways

There are 10 components of your ERS and together they elevate your employer and employee experiences and bolster your employee and business resilience.

80% of workers value career development so when an employer offers a career pathway that includes training, development, and experience opportunities the business benefits in multiple ways and workers experience a progression towards predetermined objectives.

Offering career pathways is simply good business, because investing in your people is investing in your business moving it through surviving into thriving.

Career pathways deliver different benefits at each phase of a worker’s experience with your business. 

In the pre-hiring phase pathways:

1. Elevate your employer brand and broadcast the benefits of working for you. 

2. Demonstrate your willingness to invest and develop employee value propositions. 

3. Communicate your commitment to nurturing wellbeing in the workplace.

4. Enable potential new hires to visualise a future with you, setting you apart from your competitors and elevating your talent acquisition rates.

5. Increase the motivation of potential new hires to join your business and commit to that intention.

In the post-hiring phase pathways:

1. Improve your employee retention rates because workers can visualise a future with you.

2. Reduce absenteeism as workers develop a sense of loyalty and reciprocity.  

3. Improve productivity as workers increasingly enjoy their input in the business.

4. Improve employee retention with clear pre-mapped goals to achieve.

5. Improve company culture as employee spirits lift and teamwork develops naturally. 

In the post-hiring phase pathways:

1. Put your alumni to work as willing ambassadors because of their favourable employee experiences with you.   

If you are struggling to create career pathways ask your team for ideas or contact me any time for input and advice because if you neglect this component of your ERS you will shorten the tenure of your employees, lose out on productivity, and restrict business growth.
