Linked – How Learning And Development Can Quell Quiet Quitting

If you don’t help your people grow and advance their careers, they will not remain engaged at your workplace.

Employees have been leaving in droves, and the bleeding isn’t stopping. Many are still planning their exit. According to a study by McKinsey, 40% of employees are somewhat to almost certainly likely to leave … in the next six months. The study revealed that the top reason people left their jobs last year was a lack of career development and advancement. Yet, according to Gallup, companies that make a strategic investment in employee development are twice as likely to retain their people while increasing profitability by 11%.

Whether they stay but disengage, start looking for their next job while quietly quitting, or simply resign, they will look for better options, and increasingly those better options involve working for the place that will help them develop.

End of story.

    Linked – The Productivity-Trust Paradox

    As I read over the list of six conditions that Drucker believed enabled productivity, I came to the conclusion that I have never worked in a place that provided all six. Usually that last one, being seen as an asset as opposed to a cost, is the easy one to see. Management loves to remind you that you are a cost, especially if you work in a tech or training position. Heck, anything other than a sales position in some organizations is a “cost”, and we all know anyone who isn’t directly billing more hours to a client than they get paid in legal is a cost. As we have seen over the last year, you can do great work, but when shareholders and Boards decide it’s time to cut costs, that great work won’t grant you immunity from mass layoffs.

    Overcoming Narratives

    One of the most interesting things you run into when training is when you start to contradict the personal narratives of the folks in your class. What I mean is, we all have narratives. These are the stories we tell ourselves to explain the world around us. These narratives become part of the cognitive dissonance…

    Life Update

    With everything being brand new it’s been a little tough to develop any routine, let alone one that includes posting to the blog on a regular basis. After one week at the new job, I’m just starting to develop a bit of a routine there, but outside of work, life is really a work in…

    Linked: Ways to end the taboo of employee departures

    Sometimes, things happen. Circumstances change, what we want from our careers changes, and what the current employer can offer us changes. There’s no shame in it, and there shouldn’t be any hard, or awkward feelings about it.

    I’d love to see companies get on board with that, but that’s going to require we see our people as people first, and labor inputs second. I’m not so sure some managers are capable of that.

    Employees and Employers Have Roles to Play in Career Development

    It is in your best interest to have employees who are growing and advancing in their careers. One is because they continue to become more valuable to the organization, which you need. Secondly, as they grow and become more valuable they are also more likely to stay. Turnover is costly. The organization can provide mentors and other resources that would be more difficult to do on their own. In return, they get employees who grow with the organization. Who wouldn’t want that?
