Investing in Your Employees
Investing in and retraining employees is essential to creating a workplace where employees can grow both vertically and laterally. According to Deloitte, companies that foster a strong learning culture see employees who are 52% more productive. Yet, despite the clear benefits, nearly half of the employees polled in Deloitte’s study report not receiving any new training in the past five years. At the same time, 87% of business leaders acknowledge skill gaps within their teams. This gap highlights a challenge: organizations need to promote honest, open dialogue while implementing meaningful, fair key performance indicators (KPIs) that drive progress.
The Need for Authentic Dialogue and Clear Metrics
Building a learning culture requires both authentic dialogue and clear metrics. Employees may feel apprehensive about being called in for training or discussing areas where they need improvement. These conversations can sometimes carry negative connotations, especially if employees feel they are being judged or monitored excessively. Employers should ensure that the workplace doesn’t become one of constant surveillance or unrealistic performance expectations.
At the same time, it’s essential for employers to collect honest, unbiased feedback from employees about their experiences in the workplace to add to manager reviews. By implementing the right metrics, designed to fit employee experiences, organizations can identify friction points, offer relevant training, and better support their teams in achieving personal and professional growth.
