Bringing Careers Back in … The Changing Landscape of Careers in American Corporations Today

Elizabeth F. Craig and Douglas T. Hall

Chapter 8 in America at Work, 2006, pp 131-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1973, when Work in America was published, we were just beginning to see the first signs of corporate interest in employee career development. In this chapter, we will make the argument that we are at a similar point in corporate America today. After significant economic and social upheaval dramatically changed the organization of work and careers, companies are once again beginning to appreciate the strategic importance and value of investing in employees’ careers. This time around individuals and organizations have different assumptions and expectations, and both parties face new challenges and enjoy new possibilities for those careers.
