Career Decision Making

Career Is a Two-Way Street

BlessingWhite’s workplace research indicates that nearly half of all employees are looking for interesting, challenging or meaningful work in their next career move. Another 18% want work/life balance.

Yet although employees want career opportunities and development, every individual defines “career” (or “interesting” or “balance” or “meaningful”) differently. This makes it difficult for organizations to address employees’ needs with one approach. The solution: Let employees own their career development. Employee ownership is particularly important in organizations facing workforce reductions and reorganization.
