As I’ve traveled and visited many of you, we have talked about your aspirations and your desire to take on greater roles with the company. We also hear through the Business Effectiveness Survey (BES) that many of us actively seek out the roles where there are opportunities to make a difference, have an impact, and create a legacy.  In my experience this is certainly not possible without investing energies in growing our skills and capabilities. But how we do that and how we identify which skills or capabilities we need to work on isn’t always clear. It can also be difficult to figure out and define the right career path. We’re all unique, have different personal goals, and sometimes we aren’t certain how to tie our personal goals to our career goals. As a result of our conversations, I have often thought about how I can best help you.

The Cognizant Academy, GWFM, and HR teams have also been thinking about how to help and guide you through the process. Considering this the teams have worked together and developed a vehicle called “Career Compass”. Career Compass provides a mix of assessments, tools, and systems that will provide insights into your professional health. It is a vehicle that is available for you to use to identify what you need to do in order to grow in your career. It will help you to create your own personal growth map.

Through Career Compass you will answer questions and complete tasks that will assess your skills, identify your areas of expertise and reveal growth areas. You will explore and understand more about your personal traits, behaviors, motivators, and values and how they relate to your role at Cognizant. It is our Core Values that define and drive the behaviors that make us successful in the marketplace. It is your personal values that influence the choices you make every day at work and drive your personal success. Using Career Compass will help you to clarify your personal values and align them with your career goals, positioning you for success in both your personal and professional life.

Chart Your Course

  We believe that a framework, such as Career Compass, which provides a mode of structured professional development, is critical. As we continue to add features and functionality to Career Compass it will evolve into a platform that will integrate your personal growth, career development and performance management. The vision is to ultimately deliver a tool for creating an Integrated Development Plan that marries your long-term career goals to value and competency based development goals, and corporate operational goals.  

This initiative is unique to Cognizant. You have an opportunity that many of your colleagues outside the company do not have. I encourage each and every one of you to actively take ownership of your own career development, to chart and navigate your own course. Seek coaching and feedback from your managers and peers. Take full advantage of the tools we are making available to you.
