English abstract Given the relevance of the need to manage parallel careers to attract and retain people in organizations, this paper provides insight into this phenomenon from an organizational perspective. The parallel career concept , introduced by Alboher (2007) and recently addressed by Schuiling (2012) , has previously been examined only from the perspective of the parallel career holder (PC holder) . The paper provid es insight from both individual and organization al perspectives on the phenomenon of parallel careers and considers how it can function as an important tool for attract ing and retain ing people by contributing to human development. This paper employs a qualitative approach that includes 30 s emi - structur ed one - on - one interviews . The orga nizational perspective arises from the 15 interviews with h uman r esources (HR) executives from different companies . The individual viewpoint originates from the interviews with 1 5 executives who are also PC holders . An i nductive c ontent a nalysis approach was used to examine Brazilian companies and the Brazilian office of multinationals. Companies that are concerned about having th e best talent on their team s can benefit from a deeper understanding of parallel careers , which can be used to attract, develop , and retain talent . Limitations and directions for future research are discussed
