CareerCalibration Program
Career Advisory for Talent Retention
Our CareerCalibration Program allows for a company's best executives to have access to a third party confidant who helps the executive through the emotion with level-headed thinking when the executive is faced with an apparently compelling opportunity to leave for a bigger and better role.
We are able to provide objective, relevant and useful market information and insights which help the executive make informed and balanced decisions. This process can add significant value by TheCareerLifeCycle providing input systemically to our corporate client, or where the situation is urgent, catalyze preemptive action to result in the retention of the executive.
Benefits for the Client Organization
The cost of destabilized executives who are talented and, therefore, constantly targeted by other companies directly or indirectly through recruiters can be high. TheCareerLifeCycle can help in the retention of key executives of a company by helping the individual executive manage his career. With executive search experience at the highest levels, coupled with executive coaching credentials, we are well positioned to help our client retain their best people while helping the individual executive maintain and improve their career trajectory.
The very provision of a truly personal benefit such as the appointment of a Career Personal Trusted Advisor is evidence of a company's commitment to look after the career and personal development of a valued executive. This further enhances a company's status as an Employer of Choice.
Methodology
TheCareerLifeCycle's CareerCalibration Program sets up another line of defense to keep a company's best talent. The Methodology involves a full understanding of the executive's background, including:
- career highlights
- competency and leadership assessment
- leadership potential
- recent history of performance reviews
- 360 feedback
- areas of development
- discussions about potential next steps in the company and understanding of place in company's current succession planning delibrations
- inventory of psychometric assessments that provide a thorough understanding of the executive's work preferences
- current personal development plans
- career motivations
- career aspirations
- considerations of work life balance
Creating a Win-Win by Developing Trust and Exercising Good Judgment and Acuity
With our executive search experience, we are able to uniquely provide a perspective on how meaningful or useful as a career move, the job that is being offered to entice the executive away to another company, really is to executive. In most cases, the executive will come to understand that the grass is not greener on the other side.
By adding value to the executive's career development (through regular meetings with the individual executive, and being on call), we earn the trust of both the executive and the client company, as a result of which TheCareerLifeCycle Advisor is uniquely positioned to play an important talent retention role for the client company, and the individual executive client.
