Taking a proactive approach to employee development to improve retention and boost business
If you lead a team, you probably want to make it as capable and effective as possible. And it’s very likely that your employees come to work wanting to do a good job and progress over time. Despite these good intentions, the whirlwind of busy practice life often prevents us from focusing on the skills we need to develop for the future. Ambitious people may leave if they feel stuck in a rut, and performers who were once solid can start to struggle as priorities and ways of working change over time. In this session Jacqui will talk about development planning and how it can help the whole team, from the hungry high-flyers through to the ‘steady eddies’ and the underachievers. She’ll discuss why it doesn’t always have to mean investing in expensive training and look at simple techniques and tools that can help you take a consistent approach to the process.
