Overview:
Few people have devoted sufficient time and attention to career planning. And yet now is the time, since business conditions have never been more uncertain due to the effects of the Covid-19 virus, economic upheaval, and social unrest.

Individuals must find ways to plan for their careers in ways that do not rely on employers. And yet employers must also foster career planning so as to uncover worker expectations about the future. This webinar addresses these issues.

Areas Covered in the Session:
•  What is a career, and why is it important for individuals and employers?
•  What makes career planning tough during hard times?
•  How can career planning issues be addressed by individuals during hard times?
•  How can employers foster career planning as a retention strategy for top talent during uncertain times?
