Document Summary
Career planning and development is a critical strategic issue in ensuring that the supply of necessary talent is available. Career planning and development involves a deliberate process where an employee becomes aware of personal career-related attributes and the lifelong series of activities that contribute to his or her career fulfillment. Hrm activities play an important role in this process. Career development has moved from identification of occupational orientation(s) to a new focus on identifying skills, aptitudes, career anchors, and life trajectories. Career planning can play a significant role in retaining employees in the organization and reducing turnover of valued workers. The holland code, created by john holland, lists six particular orientations toward careers based on personality types. The theory is that if a person"s career choice does not match their personal orientation, it can create high levels of indecision and internal conflict. Watch the video below to get an understanding of each of the orientations.
