Adam Alexander
Career Mobility Solutions Partner
LHH
Connect Online with this Speaker

Studies show that more than two-thirds of employees are not satisfied with career prospects at their company, and do not know the best ways to develop their skills for the roles of the future. Unfortunately, less than a third of all employees state that their organization’s culture supports a culture of mobility.  While senior leaders believe they are doing a good job of providing resources for career and skills development for their organization, the employees they lead are just as certain they are not getting the opportunities they need to learn and grow into new roles.  This is a disconnect with significant potential impacts to addressing an organizations talent needs of the future.

 

For almost 20 years, Adam has worked with hundreds of organizations in various industries to implement systemic approaches to support effective internal career mobility - empowering employees to take control of their career paths, motivating managers to become talent developers, and drive higher levels of engagement and retention. Adam has allowed organizations to successfully deliver both strategic and just-in-time career mobility to address the ever-changing marketplace for talent, and to align the organizational needs and individual goals and aspirations.

 

As organizations realize that the skill sets of their current workforce are becoming out of sync with future roles, Adam delivers guidance and expertise to support their efforts to shift their talent strategy – through the right combination of career development, redeployment and career readiness – from a workforce that may be replaceable to one that is continually renewable.
