How do I gain more experience, broaden my scope, and advance my career?
Can I achieve these things while staying at my current company, or do I need to change companies every time I want to develop further and grow my career? These questions are asked by employees at all levels of every organization.
Does your organization have a career framework that identifies how jobs are organized and how they relate to one another across the company? Do your employees understand where their job fits into that framework and what career opportunities are available?
These were some of the questions and challenges Edwards Lifesciences faced around 2010, and Edwards started exploring the need for a more robust global job architecture and answering the need for growth and advancement for their employees.
Join us Thursday, May 15th, to learn how implementing a Global Career Framework proved more complex and time-consuming than just buying something “off the shelf and turning it on.” You’ll learn the complexities and challenges they faced, all the steps they took to make it work, and how they keep the framework relevant as their workforce grows and evolves.
Edwards’ Global Career Framework will be presented by:
