What is a Career Plan?

How To Create A Career Plan?

- As an HR professional, compare the existing career path in the organization with the other competitors and identify the improvements, assessment requirements to create an effective talent pool.
- If you do not have an org chart, create an organizational chart that has each role mapped to the hierarchy (Without names).
- Draw out a career progression flowchart for each possible pathway, ideally from an entry-level to the senior level.
- Share with other HR and senior management teams to get approval on the career plans.
- Create a document on how to use and apply the career plan template inside your organization. Use it at annual review meetings or 1-1 career planning meetings.
