Muhammad Abduh Mushthofa, Seger Handoyo

Abstract


It is very important for organizations today to acquire and retain high performing employees. This is because the knowledge and competence they have is the capital for the organization to maintain a competitive advantage. PT. MPM, a distributor company for Honda motorcycles, is currently facing a situation where employees who resign complain that the company's career development policies are unclear. This research is an organizational development assessment and intervention. The method used in this study is the research and development method in which organizations produce products to improve organizational performance. In this research, the resulting product is a competency-based career path. This competency-based career path is expected to answer the employee's need for a transparent career development policy. On the other hand, this career path can also be the basis for organizations in implementing the competency development required by a position.
