“5-Year Plan”
A lot of what we
do in HR involves striving towards employee satisfaction, either directly or
indirectly through recruiting activities, training & development,
compensation, benefits, etc. (or “getting people to where they want to
be”). Ultimately, companies cannot be successful without the success of
their employees, so it is imperative that companies stay focused on developing
their staffs and helping them manage their careers.
For this
assignment, students will be asked to consider their own personal careers from
a strategic perspective. Where do you want to be 5 years from now and
more importantly, how do you plan to get there? Students will develop a
narrated power point presentation.
The presentation
should include the following:
1. The overall
5-year goal (i.e. what type/level of position do you hope to be at in 5 years).
2. A minimum
of 5 tactical steps that will help you to achieve your overall goal (i.e.
degree completion, specific experience, “stepping stone jobs, other training
opportunities, etc.).
3. An analysis
of the following considerations relative to your overall goal:
a. Job
Structure Requirements (i.e. level, duties, etc.)
b. Compensation/Benefit
Requirements
c. Work/Life
Balance Requirements
