Understanding The Career Fit Spectrum.
The key to workplace happiness is aligning individuals skills, present and future needs through exploration of who they are, their strengths, areas of interest, and values. When these are in harmony with the requirements of the role and the organization, career fit can be achieved.
If someone isn’t working out in their job it’s probably because it’s not a good fit.
Poor fits in job commonly happen because:
- The individual doesn’t have the skills or capabilities.
- There is a mismatch between personal values and the requirements of the job.
- There are unrealistic expectations, or no shared understanding of the job requirements.
