Career Advancement Opportunities
No other information has a greater impact on an employee's career
than information about his or her performance. Continuous performance
feedback helps employees avoid career derailment, which can occur
when an individual's work behaviors interfere with his or her
career opportunities.
Though most employees desire candid feedback for their development,
many managers find it difficult to provide specific and critical
feedback for fear of having to address performance problems. Additionally,
as work environments and reporting structures change, organizations
recognize the need for a foundation of developmental support that
goes beyond one's immediate manager.
Many progressive companies including Motorola, American Airlines,
and Intel have instituted multi-source
assessment programs with the intent of bolstering career development
initiatives. Multi-source assessment yields specific and quantitative
information for employees to use in making intelligent career
decisions. Recommendations resulting from multi-source assessment
can be designed to match employees' desired career paths and set
out the competencies for that path, relative to employees' existing
skills. Gaps between where employees are now and where they need
to be can then be used to identify specific developmental opportunities.
Those seeking intensive, highly personalized feedback about one's
skills and abilities should consider an assessment
center or a full individual
assessment.
