How to develop in your current role
When promotion isn’t automatic, you need to take a proactive approach to your career
Many people find that their current role becomes stale after a while and start to seek new challenges. Others assume that career progression will happen if they just stay in the role or with the same organisation for long enough.
As organisations have developed flatter structures the opportunities for career progression in a particular organisation may have been reduced. Many people no longer get promotion at regular intervals, managed by their employer. This can be a particular problem in small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with few employees. The opportunities for career progression are still there – but the onus is now on you to seek them out, and make them happen.
