Summary

This book is now available as an ebook through ASTD's new service: Content Express!

Even in the best financial times, career development is often relegated to the back of the bus because it's seen as a short-term cost rather than a long-term investment with lasting impact. But the reality is that career development helps people strive for meaningful accomplishment in the workplace, and both individuals and organizations thrive when their goals are being met.

This book is intended to empower training and development leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to become catalysts for bringing a career development focus to their organizations. Because busy managers in today's hectic business environment already have plenty on their plates, Career Development Basics jump-starts the learning curve by providing a succinct, ready-to-apply approach to this challenge.

Within this book you'll find a sound, no-nonsense framework for implementing a career development focus, supplemented by an array of easy-to-understand materials including worksheets, comparison charts, case studies, flowcharts, and specific forms for turnover cost calculation and a sample performance review.
