Summary

The majority of people look outside of their company first when they are considering making a career move. This means that companies risk losing their best people and individuals might miss out on valuable opportunities for learning and growth. This week, Helen and Sarah take insights from their most recent article with Harvard Business Review about how managers can help people to squiggle and stay in the organisation. They explore the role of career conversations, the need to create internal career experiments and the importance of manager's being measured on mobility. Whether you are a manager or want to influence the ways that careers are managed in an organisation, this episode will give you lots of ideas for action. Ways to learn (even) more: 1.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen and this is the squiggly careers podcast where every week we talk about a different topic to do with work and we share practical ideas for action and tools to try out that we just hope will help you to navigate your squiggly career with that little bit more confidence, clarity and control.
0:22.2	And today we're going to be talking about how you can help people to squiggle and stay.
0:27.2	So squiggly, in the title, very on brand.
0:30.2	And is also part of our most recent article for Harbour Business Review, which is super, super exciting.
0:36.6	Getting our work into Harvard Business Review really matters to us
0:39.6	because I think it's something that we have read for a long time
0:42.7	and we really respect and it helps us to reach more people with squiggly.
0:46.0	And also this idea of squiggling and staying is such an important point
0:49.7	for people's progression and we'll come on to talk about that much more.

1:04.4	directions. But don't worry if you think, oh no, but I'm not a manager or a leader or a sponsor.
1:10.8	That doesn't matter because there's
1:12.2	loads of ideas in the episode that you could maybe talk some of those people about or talk about

1:23.5	to make some of these changes happen. And that's why we sort of really directed it towards
1:27.5	them to really spark the change. And also, we want to just point out, we have not got all the
1:33.0	answers here. Okay, we've not got all the answers. I know, can you imagine? Spoiler. We have every
1:37.5	answer to solve the issues that organisations are facing. No, we don't. It's an area we're actively
1:42.8	working on. It's something that we are
1:44.5	really, really passionate about. We think it's a big part that Squiggly can play in helping people
