Description of the session
Careers are the crossroads where organizations and employees meet. Employees are looking for work that matches their needs and capabilities, while employers want to get the most out of their talents. No two people have exactly the same career experiences. And what we need to stay productive, (mentally) healthy and fulfilled at work can change over the years. This makes it rather hard for organizations to get a grip on the individual career of each employee. At the same time, sustainable careers require an individual flexible response to changes at work, but also in one's private life. These changes are not always predictable, which turns a career into an individual and highly complex matter.
In this interactive learning session, you'll dive into a real-life case to gain hands-on experience in the world of sustainable careers. You'll explore what it means to have a sustainable career from both your own individual perspective and from an organizational perspective. With interactive activities, group discussions, and expert insights, you'll leave this session with a newfound understanding of what it takes to build a rewarding and sustainable career. So come ready to participate, learn, and grow!
