 Career Planning

Use

This function enables you to prepare and work your way through career planning scenarios. A career planning scenario takes an employee’s personality, skills and abilities and determines the positions this employee should occupy in the course of his or her future career, and the training measures required to obtain the additional qualifications needed for this. A career planning scenario anticipates how an employee’s career will develop.

In addition to ensuring a constant supply of successors by creating qualification potentials, career planning also sets out to promote employees’ professional development. By showing employees the various career opportunities open to them, companies can help avoid fluctuations in the numbers of qualified, ambitious personnel.

In career planning, you can also look for activities that match a person’s profile.
