Hi,
Format looks good. Few inputs from my side:
- Career Management doesn't necessarily deal with promotions and growth charts; I guess it also covers exit paths for associates who want to make a switch in their roles for any reasons.
- Aspirations of the individual associate could have been included in the format... it's an important challenge for HR professionals, especially in the IT sector.
- The IT sector is growing leaner by the day, and hence the traditional single career path concept holds no good. Lateral movement is the mantra... mapping the associates' capabilities to multiple roles is a prerequisite.
- Target achievement should not be the only criterion for promotions; potential also needs to be assessed. Hence, I recommend competencies to be incorporated into the template instead of the targets. Then mapping the associates' capabilities to multiple roles would be easy.
These were a few points I could recollect offhand... let's see what other members have to say about the discussion. In the meanwhile, I will keep posting my views.
