Transitory nature of jobs and the way out

An article titled Career management – individual & organizational role stirred up my thinking on changing perspective of jobs, which has redefined the workplace relationship between employer and employees. Increasingly transitory nature of the jobs is a matter of concern for both employer and employees. The only way out, which promises a win-win situation, is the one where both share responsibilities for enhancing employees’ marketability.

The fast evolving solution appears to be the one where employers offer opportunity to employees to develop and hone their skills and guide competent employees towards “right job” in the organization. Employees on their part adopt the motto of continuous learning and be prepared for the opportunities available both inside and outside the organizations.

The win-win proposition that emerges is - a highly capable and flexible workforce for organizations and enhanced marketability of individuals for the employees.
