Engaging Employees During Disengaged Times
|
Tips for Employees – To more effectively explore new options
- Clarify and articulate your values. It is tough to find satisfaction if you don’t know what you are looking for.
- The organizational psychologist Adam Grant has said “Before you quit your job, it’s worth exploring ways to improve your job.”
- Planned happenstance. It is important to have a strategy for pursuing new opportunities, but you also need to be ready and open to pivoting when necessary. Make sure you balance planned and emergent strategies.
Tips for Leaders – To more effectively value employees
- Initiate and maintain connections. You can only make things better for employees by asking them.
- Develop employees. What are you doing in this space? Employees want to learn, grow and expand their capabilities. If they don't think they can do that in your organization, they will look elsewhere.
- Develop self. Learning and growth are as important for leaders as they are for employees.
- Learn and pivot. Take what you hear from employees and make changes

Finding the Right Job: A Skills-Based Approach to Career Planning |
Canada currently lacks comprehensive baseline data on the overall size, scope and composition of its career development sector. Having this valid and credible information is critical to inform the field itself as well as related stakeholders as to the magnitude, characterization and impact of this varied group of professionals.
CERIC is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to undertake first-of-its-kind market research about the field. The purpose is to make visible the field by answering fundamental questions around how many professionals are practising career development in some form in the country, where are they located and what is their primary focus. As part of gaining a full picture of the career development landscape across the country, this RFP also seeks to identify select high-level outcome measures that flow from the delivery of career services. Additionally, CERIC has a special interest in understanding the state of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity (EDII) among career professionals in Canada through this RFP.
