Tried-and-True Workforce Methods Solve New Age HC Challenges
Making employee development a priority:
Although, as an employer, you may feel you understand the importance of developing your employees, however you find out the follow just isn’t quite there . It’s time to take a stand and start devoting the time and funds necessary to meet this need. In a career path and ladder study, 73% of employers said fostering employee development is important but only 49% of them said leadership meets this. Also in the same study, 85% of CEO’s also said that talent management is as or more important than other business priorities, but only 2 in 10 leaders surveyed said they spend the time, resources, and funds to manage the talent.
Your organization could benefit from deploying a talent management strategy in order to educate/ train and develop your talent, similar to growing your own! Career paths and ladders are effective tools for achieving better organization outcomes and can help ensure your growth and positive productivity, but establishing a talented workforce for these paths and ladders will ensure your success!
Benefits to your organization
Making an effort to educate and/or train your workforce can increase your organizations ability to achieve its goals. Organizations that decide not to facilitate the development and education of their employees can actually lose valuable employees to their competition. Securing their education and ensuring career ladder and path growth will allow you to retain those key workers and potentially enhance their engagement and loyalty to the organization.
If you already have an employee retention plan in place, it might be time to think of how you can include education and employee development as a part of this. Meeting your employees’ expectations with clear retention strategies will also help ensure their loyalty and success in your organization. Show them you care!
In a 2012 Deloitte survey, employees indicated the top factors that would make them look for new employment would be lack of career progress and at No. 5 was lack of challenge in the job. We can tie these statistics back into employee burnout from our previous Workforce blog post, and as you can remember, employee burnout is definitely avoidable. As we can see, the importance of job promotion/advancement and areas for employee development is a must in order to ensure you are retaining the talented workforce.
