Description: "The classic guide to designing and implementing an organizational career development program, Up Is Not the Only Way shows the human resource practitioner how to forge the vital link between organizational strategic planning and individual career planning and development. Outlining a six-stage career development process, author Beverly Kaye describes how to prepare a career development program in line with an organization's needs; profile an employee's technical, interpersonal, and conceptual skills; target suitable career goals within an expanded range of choices; help employees develop a strategic action plan; provide effective skill acquisition programs, and develop evaluation procedures that satisfy organizational needs." "Valuable for career development practitioners, trainers, human resource professionals, career counselors, organizational development consultants, managers, and executives, Up Is Not the Only Way provides the tools for initiating and promoting career development. It explains how to sustain the momentum once training events are in place, and it provides guidelines for integrating career development programs into larger organizational priorities."--Jacket.
