Surfing the Tsunami of New Career Paths
Abstract
With many professionals now acknowledging that lifelong employment with one particular firm is no longer viable, what career paths should Greater Philadelphians consider? Towers Watson’s 2010 Global Workforce Study pinpoints a watershed moment in the evolution of employment relationships around the world. The study fielded over 20,000 employees in 22 markets from November 2009 to January 2010 and revealed a recession-battered workforce—one with lower expectations, increased anxiety and new priorities. Still, there are opportunities for individuals to secure new career development options that can benefit both their employers and themselves.
This past September, Robert Romasco from AARP, Rene Limacher from a-Connect, Alyse D. Bodine from Heidrick & Struggles, and Virginia Bowden as well as Anne St. Clair from Towers Watson were generous enough to share their insights on new career paths with Greater Philadelphia leaders. Below are some of their key updates.
