Answer for HRM 635 How can the organization’s leadership support individuals seeking to relocate laterally or advance their careers by moving into a position of higher authority within their organization?  Re: Topic 5 DQ 2

Career and employee development is essential at any point in an employee’s career no matter what stage. An organization’s leadership team can help support individuals looking to advance their careers and move up the career ladder by providing resources, coordinating mentors, suggesting development courses, helping arrange desk sits in desired departments and providing feedback and guidance to employees on desired career paths. While I personally think lateral moves are not idea it does help gain experience in another role that can be added to your skill set and resume. Along with the employee, the person’s manager and employer have career management responsibilities. (Dessler, 2020) Employees have control over the trajectory of their career and where it may lead them, but their leader should be there to guide them along the way. My organization’s department just started pushing career development by offering LinkedIn courses and other development courses to increase insurance and claims knowledge.
