Volatility is the new normal and a reliance on legacy systems and resistance to change stand to have dire consequences for organizations. While 66% of CEOs know that things need to change, they are reluctant to pursue work models and approaches that differ from those used in the past (Accenture, 2021).
A common question among leaders today then becomes, “how can we effectively mobilize our talent for today's work environment while providing opportunities for growth?
The answer is very clear - build a company that knows how to “DevelUp.”
In order to drive higher levels of performance and business outcomes within your organization, your employees skill development must be aligned to the current and future business strategy.
On the other hand, in order to keep employee engagement high and meet the personal desires your people have to retain them, we have to align organizational goals with our peoples personal ambitions.
Scaling your workforce development to meet these challenges is no easy task, but the benefits to retention, productivity and performance make it a worthwhile journey.
With all the ambiguity that is ahead, it would be extremely smart of organizations to remedy this and make development a top priority.

Retention is one of those words in today's work environment that will give any organizational leader shivers. Employees and especially younger generations want to know, "as we help the organization grow, how will we grow along with it?" It's up to our leaders and our organizations to provide that kind of transparency and clarity.
Forming an alliance with your employees, and understanding their professional and personal goals is key to having a happier, more engaged employee. They will stay longer and ultimately perform at a higher level for the organization.
In our second impact accelerator, we’ll be looking at the conversations we need to be having between leaders and employees, realign the employee-employer relationship, and discuss ways we can foster engagement through personalized career pathways.
