This presentation explores a strategic approach to redefining career pathing and employee development using a comprehensive internal architecture system. Participants will learn how a pilot program utilizes a centralized platform to map roles, identify skill overlaps, and align career paths in a personalized way. The session emphasizes the importance of leveraging existing career frameworks (e.g., career bands and families), calibrating skill levels, and mapping overlapping skills to build clear career roadmaps. Additionally, the discussion will touch on the role of new technologies, such as web scraping, that can be used to create new career paths, as well as how technology can serve as an enabler to provide a user-friendly experience for employees. Key takeaways will also include the value of integrating career pathing into broader HR processes and aligning it with organizational initiatives like Total Rewards to ensure long-term success for both employees and the organization. In this session, you will learn:
