Individual career ownership through career path mapping

Talent Navigator enables employees to create – and work through – their own meaningful career paths based on their aspirations, interests and strengths.

Creating career paths and exploring their impact is fundamental to having meaningful and actionable career conversations with a line manager.

Head Light’s Talent Navigator empowers your employee to manage their career.

Engage and retain talent. You’ll engage your employees in mapping out their future with your organisation – and support managers in the conversation.

Spot the skills gaps. Talent Navigator also identifies skills gaps – and signposts relevant learning to help individuals prepare for the next role.

Talent Navigator provides the framework to help employees map multiple career path scenarios, review role competencies and plan next steps. It puts employees in control of their career and encourages them to be accountable for their own development.

    • I have found working with Head Light really easy.

      Allison Miller, Muñoz Group

    • Head Light provides great products, but also great business psychology based consulting to help us implement them for the greatest impact. Our organisation is complex and they have helped us simplify and harmonise what we do.

      Clare Hannah, DB Cargo

    • I get fantastic support as a user. The system is very user-friendly and intuitive, and has a huge capability.

      Samantha Paget, Gain Theory

    • Working together with Head Light’s practical business psychologists gave us a great sounding board to check out our ideas and provided a different perspective to our thinking. It meant that we could still own the project internally and for it not to be seen as an external consultancy exercise, but still being able to draw on Head Light’s expertise and experience.

      Peter Hawes, Horsham District Council

    • We know we have made the right choice.

      Clare Hannah, DB Cargo

    • Working with Head Light is a really positive experience.
