Leadership By Design 2022
Growing Better Design Careers
One of the biggest challenges to retaining employees is the lack of value or growth they perceive in their current position. To solve this, design leaders need to provide a clear understanding and path for career advancement that is based on outcomes and objective skills. This means designing a system centered around a growth based mindset which:
- Defines job descriptions that are skill and outcome based rather than based on subjective qualifications
- Establishes a Career Progression Framework with team roles aligned around defined outcomes and professional growth based on individual needs and learning styles.
Pairing these two concepts together helps leaders that manage teams large or small, made up of specialist or generalists, or teams that are just getting started or have been established for some time. In the ever changing world of employee retention and workplace dynamics, design leaders can help position your teams for future growth and meet your designers where they are at to better layout what kind of future they want.
