Learning & Development is now a significant component of hiring, especially as candidates increasingly consider the kind of growth-oriented programs that potential employers provide. Data science companies are increasingly prioritising career pathing along with their L&D programs to attract as well as retain talent with niche skill-sets. We chat with Saurabh Upadhyay, Chief People Officer, Tredence to further understand this phenomenon:


1. What is your use of career pathing within an organization?

Career pathing is an essential part of our organizational development and growth process. We believe in giving employees the freedom and support to decide their career trajectories. Managers and mentors coach team members to create personalized development plans based on their career choices. We have processes like internal job portals and job rotations that provide the opportunity to progress. Comprehensive plans help people upgrade their skills and prepare for their chosen careers. This approach gives employees greater control over their careers, creating an atmosphere of growth and development at all levels.


2. Why has there been an interest or investment in this initiative?

Organizations worldwide are investing in career pathing to create an engaged, satisfied workforce. They nurture and retain their talent, allowing employees to develop skills, grow within the company, and

increase productivity. Providing growth opportunities enhances employee engagement and offers pathways to success. This enables the organization to meet its long-term capability and skill requirements while making employees feel valued. Moreover, the organization ensures employees absorb its practices, creating teams that work well and succeed together, leading to positive long-term growth.


3. What are some benefits for employees and the organization?

Career pathing is an invaluable tool for employees and organizations alike. It provides progression paths for employees who wish to advance their careers and allows them to structure their development and hone specific skills. This significantly improves job satisfaction, enhances employability, and provides a daily source of fulfillment. In addition, career pathing initiatives demonstrate organizational commitment to employee growth, leading to higher motivation, retention, and engagement, a win-win situation; allowing individuals to carve their career paths expands skills and organizational knowledge, strengthening overall capability. This is critical in a competitive market for top talent.


4. Given that perspectives and motivations may vary across generations, how are today's leaders catering to and empowering their inter-generational personnel?

Today's organizations recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. Instead, individual career development plans help identify specific needs and ensure each generation and each employee gets the training needed to succeed.


5. What sort of lead programs attract the most talent?

A well-rounded learning and development program is essential to attract top talent. A trifecta approach casts a wide net:

1. Skills-building opportunities are fundamental to any successful program, supporting long-term career progression.

2. Programs should focus on building managerial skills so leaders can put theory into practice, including programs for first-time managers and leadership strategies.

3. Domain knowledge programs are essential to stay atop the latest industry trends.

All these elements form an attractive leadership program that draws talented individuals.
