Take a professional approach to career development in uncertain times

The economic downturn has signalled a change of direction for many employees and the threat of job loss and sudden change in economic circumstance lingers over us all. For many, it has changed outlooks and attitudes towards employment prospects and future career plan.

The slowdown is impacting on employees from all sectors; those nearing retirement age may be encouraged to step down early or to consider a less senior role, some are seeking a new career due to a downturn in their markets and others are seeking advice on how to develop their skills and further their career in a tough financial climate. Employees are increasingly disillusioned with constant threats of redundancy, morale is low and there is a need to focus skills in a positive and proactive way.

Whilst redundancy can be a deeply upsetting and unsettling situation, particularly to senior managers and executives who may never have experienced it before, being undervalued or in the ‘wrong’ job can be equally demoralising.
