Career Progression

What is Career Progression?

Career progression refers to the journey an employee takes to advance within their profession, encompassing growth in job title, responsibilities, compensation, and skill set. It is typically a combination of all these elements working together over time.

Why Career Progression Matters

Organisations that invest in clear career progression frameworks benefit from higher employee engagement and retention. HR teams play a key role by defining career pathways, establishing transparent promotion criteria, and providing development opportunities such as mentoring, training programmes, and stretch assignments that help employees move forward in their careers.
