Client:

Large multi-national organization

Situation:

The client was experiencing the following dynamics inside their largest divisions:

• Growing retention issues in specific segments of the population; primarily those who had been in the same role approximately two years.

• Due to recent downsizing in the top and bottom levels of the organization, horizontal career growth opportunities decreased significantly resulting in an unprecedented increase in movement laterally across the organization.

• An internal survey produced low engagement scores two years in a row.

• An organizational shift to provide employees with tools for becoming more proactive and successfully managing their own careers.

The organization sought a business partner to design and deliver a solution that would lead to incremental gains in employee engagement scores and would stem their retention issues.

Results:

This career management program has been implemented across all divisions globally. To date, several hundred employees have experienced Career Edge across North America, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and China.
