What are the directions of career development?

1. Vertical development: that is, the promotion of employees' position level from junior to senior, such as from manager position to deputy general manager position and from assistant engineer position to engineer position. Vertical career development mainly emphasizes the responsibility of employees' posts from small to large, the challenging content of employees' posts from small to large, and the skills or abilities mastered by employees from low to high.

2. Horizontal development: refers to the transfer of different positions at the same level, such as the transfer of department managers to office directors, and the transfer of R&D engineers engaged in technical work to production management engineers. This kind of horizontal development can find the best play point of employees, and at the same time, it can let employees accumulate experience in all aspects and create more favorable conditions for future development. Lateral career development emphasizes that employees need to be familiar with different functional areas in the organization. Now the organization needs more T-type talents, so rotation between different functional departments is one of the important means to train cadres.

3. Core direction development: Although the position has not been promoted, it has assumed more responsibilities and more opportunities to participate in various decision-making activities of the unit. For example, the personnel manager in an organization is usually only responsible for human resources management such as recruitment, training, salary and performance of the company. If the leaders also let the personnel manager manage the administration and general affairs, the scope of personnel management will be wider and the ability requirements for personnel managers will be higher. We all know that managing 10 employees is different from managing 100 employees! The core direction of career development emphasizes the same position, but the management scope is wider and wider, so it is necessary to further improve the comprehensive ability of on-the-job personnel.

Extended data:

According to the definition of China Association of Career Planners, career development is a plan used by organizations to help employees acquire the skills and knowledge needed for their current and future jobs. Career development is actually the development training and education of knowledge, ability and technology for enterprise human resources.

Career development is a lifelong professional activity devoted to the exploration, establishment, success and achievement of personal career path. It is a way for an organization to effectively develop human resources and ensure that there are enough candidates for the positions needed by the organization.
