Hello Gene,
In today’s complex work environment, attracting and retaining top talent is a goal for most leaders. While increasing compensation, offering flexible schedules, promoting from within and offering remote work options are popular strategies, research shows there is another option that gives employees what they really want, and is of benefit to the workplace as a whole.
On-the-job professional development is a great solution to many of the problems facing businesses today. The 2022 LinkedIn Global Talent Trends Report found that employees believe professional development is the best way to improve the culture of an organization.
The consequences of neglecting development are significant. A report by The Execu/Search Group, states that 86% of professionals indicated they would change jobs if a new company offered them more opportunities for professional development.
Plus, it’s good for business. Employees who receive professional development opportunities are 15% more engaged and have 34% higher retention than those who don’t (Better Buys Survey). Our clients tell us that trust increases, and communication becomes more effective.
The most effective professional development is highly personal – connected to the team and the work, or employee’s ability to communicate effectively, and fully engage as a team.
MG Coaching & Consulting has been working with leaders and teams for 8 years. Our Leadership Development Program features a series of 4-6 days of in-person learning as a team, spread across a 4–6-month period, accompanied by 1:1 coaching. This work is highly personal and contributes to positive change in the culture of organizations. Plus, it’s fun!
