Career Development Increases Employee Retention-Engagement

Are you an HR Director?

A recent Forbes article, based on a study from Randstad (August 28, 2018) suggests  that “without career development opportunities, overall job satisfaction isn’t enough to attract, retain and engage employees” The study indicated that:

·        58% of workers say there isn’t enough growth opportunity to drive retention

·        69% would be more satisfied if their employers better utilized their skills and abilities

·        57% say taking their career to the next level requires leaving their company

Tom Rath is also quoted in this article: “As Tom Rath, best known for his book StrengthsFinder 2.0, says, “work is a purpose, not a place,” and when work starts to feel more like a purpose, we’ll see retention and satisfaction improve”
