Employers typically look for employees who possess a strong work ethic and managers are more likely to promote those that stand out with certain qualities. This professional development course defines ‘promotable behaviour’ and explains why it is essential for career growth. The course is designed by StudyHub and provides a resource anyone working for an organisation can use to advance their career. We first establish the importance of developing self-awareness and effective social and communication skills.
The course outlines strategies used to create organisational support and build productive relationships with peers and senior leadership. Resilience and flexibility are essential qualities for overcoming professional challenges and managers tend to value these traits. We examine the tools you will need to frame successes and failures for maximum positive impact. Personal development and career plans are essential to success in the workplace. We explain how the ‘SCARF’ model helps you grow in your role as a leader in the workplace. ‘SCARF’ stands for ‘Status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness’ and this managerial approach helps leaders to leverage recognition to improve performance.
The course also discusses the difficult but crucial task of actually asking for a promotion. This can be daunting but is an important step in taking your career to the next level. We lay out the steps taken to identify promotable conditions. The course then explains when and how to ask for a promotion, bounce back after rejection and accept a promotion the right way. Moving ahead in your career requires more than hard work and application of formal skills: it also requires social and communication skills used to move up in the workplace. This professional development course thus explains how to cultivate the skills, relationships and behaviours that will get you promoted. Sign up to learn how to set professional goals and meet them.
