— The career builder suite
Throughout the year line managers and employees should regularly review and discuss performance, development and career path. This is a true dialogue in which we seek to align employee interests and business needs. One of the outcomes of ongoing conversations is agreeing on a development plan and key development actions.
Developing skills and competencies of our people is essential to ABB and their personal growth. We have invested heavily in all stages of talent management processes such as talent identification, advancement, succession planning etc. and share best practices globally.
Our global HR system enables all employees to manage their own talent profile, where they record their interests and competencies. This will prompt tailored job recommendations to them. They can also choose whether to make their talent profile visible to others. Furthermore, they have the chance to create tailored internal job alerts.
There are a number of defined career paths for our different job families, including career step definitions, task and competence profiles and potential movements.
With our Open Job Market policy our people have equal opportunities to apply internally for all available open positions, improving their chances to write a new chapter of their story, driving their careers forward.
