Mechanisms Facilitating Career Mobility at Tektronix, Inc.
Ferrini, Paul
This case history describes the Tektronix, Inc. program of career fulfillment for its 11,000 employees. The study is divided into seven major sections. The first four sections deal with the purpose and philosophy of the program, history and company culture, organizational structure and staff, funding and resources. The fifth section presents mechanisms facilitating employee career mobility. Included in these are the following formal and informal components: (1) traditional informal career discussions with the employee's manager or equivalent; (2) pilot programs to make career counseling more formal and accessible to employees; (3) formal education and training offerings, as well as educational counseling; and (4) an expanded job posting system. The sixth section contains examples of nine career changers at Tektronix. The final section discusses future possibilities for increased employee career change options. (LRA)
