Career management as part of a larger human resource system must ensure that business objectives are acted and delivered to acceptable standards. The alignment therefore of employees needs an aspiration with organizational needs is imperative to achieving strategic organizational performance as profit, growth and market value.

Career management is the process which plans and shapes the profession of individuals within an organization in accordance with organizational needs and objectives. According to Baron and Greenberg (1990) a typical career management programme as part of the larger human resources system involves efforts aimed at helping employees to assess their own career, strengths and weakness; set priorities and specific career goals, provides information on various career path and alternatives within the organization and offer employees yearly reviews of their progress towards these goals by managers who have received training in conducting such assessment. Career management assesses employees to improve their performance by involving employee in setting their own goals and recognizing their strengths and weakness. It assists employees with the organization with the identification and facilitation of training needs and opportunities. This is mainly achieved by building a process of feedback and discussion into the performance management system of institutions. Career management clarifies available career options.
