Resumo: This study focused on the concept of career, taking into consideration the changes this construct has undergone over the years: from traditional approaches to contemporary perspectives. The research included analysing organisational policies and practices, as well as recognising the importance of workers’ views regarding these phenomena. The study specifically sought to understand more fully organisations’ career management strategies in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The data collection included both Human Resources Departments’ stated positions and employees’ perceptions of their opportunities for professional growth and the available career planning mechanisms. Secondary data were obtained from the ‘Melhores Empresas para Trabalhar – 2016’ (‘The Best Companies to Work for – 2016) survey, which also provided a methodological framework. The results highlight organisations’ concerns regarding subsidising their employees’ career development, although this support varies according to hierarchical level and company size.
