| Summary: | This study focused on the concept of career, taking into consideration
the changes this construct has undergone over the years: from
traditional approaches to contemporary perspectives. The research
included analysing organisational policies and practices, as well as
recognising the importance of workers’ views regarding these
phenomena. The study specifically sought to understand more fully
organisations’ career management strategies in the Brazilian state of
Minas Gerais. The data collection included both Human Resources
Departments’ stated positions and employees’ perceptions of their
opportunities for professional growth and the available career planning
mechanisms. Secondary data were obtained from the ‘Melhores
Empresas para Trabalhar – 2016’ (‘The Best Companies to Work for –
2016) survey, which also provided a methodological framework. The
results highlight organisations’ concerns regarding subsidising their
employees’ career development, although this support varies according
to hierarchical level and company size. |
