Let Opportunity Knock for Internal Employees

Here’s a simple truth. The growth of your business depends on the growth of your people. Improving their skills improves your company’s ability to serve its customers and achieve its goals. Providing growth opportunities, by promotion or a development move, supports retention and improves company morale.

While it’s important to lock down the talent you need, it’s equally important to keep hold of your company’s current key players. Worker anxiety is exceptionally high during times of change, and even the most valuable members of your team may doubt that their job security is fully intact. When employees sense that their jobs are vulnerable, whether those fears are real or perceived, they will begin to explore their options. In many cases, these “options” may be alluring enough to accelerate their departure from the company without any real threat to their current role. If your company is doing well, make it known to the whole team. If it isn’t, make sure you are making the value and importance of your team known to them.
