Career Factbook from Bersin
Bersin research continues to contribute to the knowledge base of the field. This recently published Career Factbook is particularly helpful for plotting your course and learning about emerging trends.
See the document: http://www.bersin.com/uploadedFiles/Bersin/Website_(Pages)/Resources/Linda/062909_FB_CareerFactbook_JB_Final.pdf
Most notable to the workshop on Friday:
· Business Acumen is continuing to be development need for us and is essential to assist us in developing credibility
· Groundbreaking projects and the desire to work them shows as a key goal for managers, directors and senior executives, though notably senior execs have as top 3 goal to reduce their hours
· “Business in” projects are a path toward credibility. The “Learning and HR Out” projects even with a good plan tend to marginalize the department.
Please let me know where your internal client relationship triumphs and challenges are and what questions you have – it’s my favorite topic!
Still to come are electronic copies of slides and the tools/forms shared in the workshop.
