Career Check Up
A Career Check Up is a short and powerful process that helps employees gain insight into their careers, development opportunities and employability. Just as a car is regularly checked, it is important for employees to reflect on the question: how do I stay motivated and agile towards the future?
Why and when is it deployed?
The Career Check Up is suitable for any employee who wants to explore where he or she stands in working life. For example, because:
- There are changes in the work environment or position;
- There is doubt about job satisfaction or future prospects;
- Someone wants to work preventively to ensure sustainable employability;
- There is a need for direction, development or continuing education.
The program is low-threshold and preventive in nature. This makes it ideally suited to get employees moving before bottlenecks arise. The Career Check Up also offers a solution in case of reorganizations, impending absence or career questions.
How does it work out?
Puls ' Career Check Up is a short and intensive course of three interviews with a career counselor. Beforehand, the employee is asked to provide a completed intake form and resume. During the interviews, we map out the employee's situation together:
- The personal situation, work situation and future prospects;
- Any bottlenecks in the current personal or work situation;
- Reason(s) for the Career Check Up and desired goals;
- A person profile including: background work and education, competencies, qualities, skills, motivations, ability to learn, interests and preferences;
- Future orientation: the labor market position, development opportunities, career possibilities and opportunities for retraining and further education;
- Other relevant topics that may be important in certain situations, such as financial, personal and legal status bottlenecks/issues and consequences. Discussions are tailored to the employee's situation and needs. Where necessary, he or she will receive advice on external arrangements or agencies for additional support.
What does a Career Check Up provide?
The employee receives a clear and complete picture of their own situation and capabilities, including:
- A concrete development plan with actions to increase sustainable employability;
- Understanding where and how support is possible (financial, practical or substantive);
- A personal summary of all information discussed, including development and training opportunities.
After the Career Check Up , the employee can immediately start working on this in a targeted and active way!
