Career development drives both employee engagement and retention. Progressive organisations committed to skills development will attract top talent. It shows the candidate, firstly that you value the human experience and secondly increases their belief that opportunities for growth exist within your company.
In our ever-changing working world with millennials demanding more opportunities to hone existing strengths and grow into leadership roles, providing your employees with career development opportunities can help prevent them from jumping ship too soon and reduce unnecessary costs spent on sourcing new talent simultaneously topping up your talent pool ready for you to dive into when they swim ashore to take up a new job opportunity or career move.
As we know losing great talent is a costly affair. Your employees who are recognised and progress in their careers are more likely to be more engaging and mentor newbies on their career journey.
Showing your employees how what they are learning now will prepare them for their next job is also a great employee motivational tool for their employability.
It is a win-win for you and your employees.
We all learn and grow at our own pace so we cannot apply a “one size fits all” approach to career development.
Career development drives both employee engagement and retention. A win-win for both the company and the employee.
