Career planning often means job rotation, successive planning and promotion policy. Career planning is a process which optimises the inter-dependence of the individuals and also their oganisational relationship. Career planning is more akin to growth and development which is for every individual of the organisation. Career planning can be translated into programmes and procedures which are designed to give the individual leverage in deciding personnel career within the organisational environment. Career planning helps to facilitate dialogue between the individual and the organisation in order to optimise their mutual needs.
Career planning has two aims: first to ensure that men and women of promise are given a sequence of experience that will equip them for whatever level of responsibility they have the ability to reach; secondly to provide individuals with potential with the guidance and encouragement they may need if they are to fulfill their potential and remain with the organisation.
Following are important elements of a career planning programme :
(a) Preparation of an up-to-date job inventory consisting of information regarding the duties, responsibilities and function of each job, qualifications, training and skills and personality traits essential for performing the assignments.
(b) Preparation of personnel inventory of current and anticipated manpower resources containing bio-data as regard to academic qualifications, training, work experience and appraisal of performance.
