CareerCare users possess the ability to work independently and have demonstrated critical thinking skills.  These employees have titles like Lab Tech, Office Coordinator, Patient Service Representative, Team Lead, and Supervisor.  They are employees who have the motivation and potential to embark on a higher level position, but need to assess their interests and develop a career and learning plan before selecting a specific career path.

CareerCare Benefits

Increase Employee Engagement
A key factor in high engagement is employees’ believing they have opportunities to learn and grow with your organization.  CareerCare demonstrates that commitment by educating employees about career paths and facilitating career progression conversations.

Leverage your Aspiring Leader or Mentor Program
CareerCare is a practical succession planning tool that helps high-potential talent identify career options and provides their advisors/mentors with a framework to have the career advancement discussion.  Self-reflection, a customized interest survey and jobs research result in an Individual Development Plan that aligns the employee and organizational “fit”.  This versatile tool facilitates your ability to advance employees within the organization.

Maximize Tuition Reimbursement Investments
Have you experienced the wasted time and effort of having an employee take a coveted clinical education program slot, begin it, and then decide that it’s not a fit?  CareerCare helps participants better understand themselves and the jobs they’re working towards, before the hospital begins investing in tuition reimbursement.

Redeploy Loyal Employees
With electronic medical records and other new technologies and processes making certain positions extinct, CareerCare provides a tool to help loyal employees find alternate career paths aligned to their interests and your needs.  This is a win-win; they “own” their career development and you retain employees who have proven to be a good fit with your organization.   

Increase Diversity
Many hospitals are working to have their caregivers and leaders better mirror the patient population. For organizations looking to increase the number of minority employees in clinical and management positions, but do not have the staff to provide one-on-one advising, CareerCare is a way to identify and propel high-potential employees.

Save HR Staff Time
If you’ve avoided providing a more formal career advising system due to lack of human resources, CareerCare enables you to get started now on providing this important employee benefit. Its self-paced design and automation of job research, school search and other functions will save HR staff 3-4 hours per employee participant. CareerCare creates an exciting opportunity for HR to significantly increase the number of people moving forward within your organization.

Reduce Turnover
Extensive research from Gallup, Press Gainey and others consistently demonstrates that employees are more likely to remain with organizations that provide them an opportunity to grow and develop. Catalyst Learning programs have been proven to provide 8-23% higher retention than category average. Expand the Total Rewards list of benefits for your employees.

Automation Expands Access and Saves Time

CareerCare is an online career advising system that lets HR significantly increase the number of people moving forward within your organization.  Employees receive an individual license that walks them through the four-step process.  Participants complete the activities independently over 11-17 hours and develop a customized Individual Development Plan (IDP).

A hospital’s CareerCare investment begins with a consulting call with Catalyst Learning’s Client Relations team to discuss the organization’s needs and goals.  The result is a customized linkage of high-demand jobs at your hospital to CareerCare’s recommended job groups.

Customized Career Interest Survey

Career Interest Survey
CareerCare’s healthcare-specific Career Interest Survey is a self-assessment tool that provides your employee with an objective look at personal interests, as applied to jobs in your unique environment. After completing an interest survey, each employee receives an extensive report customized to the healthcare industry.

Jobs Data Base and Videos

The next two steps of the process, “Exploring and Investigating Career Options” are completed in the  Research Section, which includes an in-depth description of over 225 healthcare jobs in 23 different categories.  Employees learn about the skills they need for specific jobs via brief job shadowing videos that enhance the exploration process.  This lets employees confidently explore careers they know are a good fit and quickly eliminate other jobs without the time and expense of job shadowing.

Organizations that implement CareerCare’s Enterprise version receive customization of job titles, descriptions and compensation information to create a seamless employee experience.

Expanded Career Advising and Recruiting Capabilities

CareerCare expands the reach of career advisors by providing an explanatory guide to the JVIS survey and access to reports.  The tool offers custom searchable items, such as job bookmarks specific to participants, to strengthen recruiting.

Job Shadowing & Informational Interviewing

Participants can use CareerCare to facilitate job shadowing and informational interview sessions within the organization.  Prompts have been integrated into the tool to help employees seek out mentors and a network of support needed for successful advancement.

Tools to Fine-Tune the IDP

Employees prepare for the future using CareerCare’s wide array of tools to qualify career direction and prepare them for college and/or their next position.  Tools include self-paced PowerPoint presentations on professional development topics such as Communication, Professional Image, Resume Writing, Interviewing Skills, and Networking.  An extensive School Search database provides links to local higher-education institutions, allowing employees to investigate local healthcare programs prior to speaking with their advisor and/or your tuition reimbursement representative.
