Professional growth and career development aren’t necessarily linear endeavors. And because these journeys can mean something different to everyone, Northwestern Mutual provides a variety of resources and guidance to ensure employees don’t have to navigate any path alone. While mentorship creates opportunities to network, broaden perspectives, and identify development goals, a particularly cool internal tool team members can leverage is the career profile, which matches them with potential roles, paths and development opportunities.
