CAREER LATTICE

Enrichment: expand or change the responsibilities of your current job in order to


provide growth experiences for yourself. Enrichment is focused in making your current
job better by increasing the autonomy, skill variety, and challenge of the job itself.

Vertical: move upward to one or two levels above the current position. Vertical
movement is usually achieved as a reward for excellence in the current position and
as a result of having demonstrated performance equal to that required in the higher
level position.
Lateral: lateral movement involves a change in job but not necessarily status or pay.
A lateral move can provide you with an opportunity to broaden your base of
knowledge and skill across a specific function or across varying functions. It can give
you breadth of experience which could be critical for success later on.
Realignment: look internally for a better alignment of job with personal interests,
skills, aspiration and business need. Sometimes it can be a downward move in the
organizations hierarchy.
