Increase Employee Retention by Developing Your Team Through Short-form Training Content - Webinar

As the COVID aftermath continues to upend businesses around the world, managers are being asked to do more with less. In addition to responding to pandemic-prompted resignations, they're also being asked to close the skills gap without increasing access to resources and increased funding to support training.

Managers know they need to take inventory of the skills that are most in demand within their organization, however the traditional method of training doesn’t capture the attention of the learner.

Implementing training and development programs that will help employees close the skills gap, managers are unable to drive performance and affect change with fewer resources.

The pressure is on for managers when it comes to filling roles. It now takes 18% longer to fill roles than it did before the pandemic, according to a new study. This increase in time is due to a number of factors, including an increase in the number of applicants and a decrease in the number of qualified candidates. The current environment has also made it more difficult to conduct background checks and reference checks. As a result, managers are struggling to fill roles quickly and efficiently while meeting their own operational responsibilities.

Even the most supportive managers face a tough choice in response to this challenge. Investing time and effort in their employees’ career development is often at odds with the metrics they’re measured against. Most managers are evaluated on short-term results, such as hitting quarterly targets. But supporting employees’ long-term career growth requires a different kind of investment. It takes time to mentor employees, teach them new skills, and help them find opportunities for advancement. As a result, many managers find themselves pulled in two different directions. On the one hand, they want to help their employees succeed; on the other hand, they’re under pressure to meet short-term goals.

Even the most supportive managers face a tough choice in response to this challenge. Investing time and effort in their employees’ career development is often at odds with the metrics they’re measured against. As a result, many managers are forced to choose between developing their employees and meeting their own performance goals. This dilemma can lead to tension and conflict between managers and employees, as well as decreased productivity and engagement. Ultimately, it’s up to each manager to decide how to best balance the competing demands of employee development and performance. However, it’s important to remember that investing in employee development can pay off in the long run by increasing retention and engagement.
The quickest & easiest way to increase employee retention in our current environment involves two steps; expanding career progression and training them to succeed beyond today.
