Purpose

In your role as manager, you meet with an employee and plan his or her career. Points that are considered in this plan are: the employee’s personal ambitions and preferences, the employee’s qualifications and potentials, and how the employee has performed up until now.

You can use predefined careers for planning. These predefined careers describe a typical sequence of jobs or positions that the employee could occupy in your company. You can also analyze individual jobs or positions to see if they are suitable career goals for the employee.

On the basis of this planning, you can draw up an individual career plan containing suitable target jobs or positions. If you create a career plan for an employee, you might need to update your succession planning measures for the positions contained in the career plan.
