It\u2019s also about ensuring that your company\u2019s employees continually feel valued and like they have opportunities for growth within the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to express your appreciation for staff, including positive feedback, rewarding a good job done, and providing employees with perks that make them love working for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11581\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11581\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11581\" src=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Workplace-Learning-Development.jpg\" alt=\"Workplace Learning &amp; Development\" width=\"1000\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Workplace-Learning-Development.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Workplace-Learning-Development-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Workplace-Learning-Development-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Workplace-Learning-Development-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Workplace-Learning-Development-594x406.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawpixel.com\/image\/56819\/team-having-group-meeting-table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rawpixel<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But no matter what industry you\u2019re in, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bonus.ly\/10-surprising-employee-retention-statistics-you-need-to-know\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employee turnover is an issue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, no matter how much effort you put into showing your appreciation. More than 25% of your employees are likely high retention risk, and that includes your top performers. \u00a0Of these employees, over 70% may feel that to advance their careers, they need to leave your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That leaves you in a conundrum. How can you keep your top performers (along with everyone else) <a href=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/employee-engagement-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engaged<\/a> and happy in their roles with your company? Are there ways you can make them feel like they have long-term potential for growth with their current employer? Can you give them a reason to stay?<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>The Importance of Professional Development in the Office<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the initial training you provide new hires to understand their roles and responsibilities properly, do you offer additional opportunities for them to level up their professional development? If not, you may continue to struggle to keep employees long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you provide many resources for them to keep sharpening their skills and expanding their knowledge\u2014as well as advancement opportunities so they can continually challenge themselves in more progressive roles\u2014you\u2019ll be able to incentivize them to work their way up the ladder at your company rather than look elsewhere for a step up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only will your employees stay with you for years, advancing into new and more advanced roles as they\u2019re ready, but you\u2019ll also benefit by having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snacknation.com\/blog\/employee-engagement-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engaged and motivated employees<\/a>, as well as the sharpest minds in your industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>Understanding Learning &amp; Development Options<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you offer for employees to bone up on new topics and technologies can be as simple as setting up a lending library of business and industry books in the breakroom or as complex as establishing a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learning management system<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you continually offer new modules on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key is knowing your employees and their wants in terms of learning tools. Are most of your employees Gen X or younger? If so, interactive technology is your friend, as it will appeal to their hands-on nature. Would most of your staff prefer a self-guided option, or would a group setting be more effective for fostering camaraderie and dialogue? Being able to answer questions like these can help you determine which of the following learning and development options are the best fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#1 Microlearning Modules<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an LMS that you use for new hire training, you can also add other modules for career development. The goal here is to keep the lessons very short and easy to digest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you have staff that is interested in being promoted to management roles. You could create a leadership training course in your LMS with a variety of videos, interactive content, and quizzes on leadership techniques and principles. In his spare time, Joe can take one or more modules, then take the final test when he\u2019s done to acknowledge his retention of the material. When he applies for that management promotion, he can present the hiring manager with his certificate of completion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborate with hiring managers within your company to ensure that you develop modules that provide the knowledge they want for the roles they hire for. If the hiring manager in Joe\u2019s department (IT) also wants managers to have knowledge of a certain programming language, Joe will need training resources on that language in addition to the leadership course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#2 Apprenticeships<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no denying the power of learning by doing. While some book knowledge is necessary for any role at your company, employees looking to step up to a new role will also need to reinforce that knowledge with hands-on experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partner an employee with a senior staff member and have a clear process for what an apprenticeship will entail and what specifically the apprentice will learn. Take into consideration the fact that both employees have other responsibilities; how can this program be built into their workweek while minimizing disruption? Perhaps the pair partners for five hours a week or the mentor assigns certain tasks to the apprentice with a few hours of follow-up and additional training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#3 Mastermind Groups<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peers learn from one another. Consider creating a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/sarahkathleenpeck\/2018\/07\/17\/9-things-to-know-before-you-start-your-own-mastermind\/#3859756c7da7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mastermind group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a given department where employees at every level of experience can collaborate, discuss, and give advice to one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11583\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11583\" src=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"brainstorming\" width=\"840\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming-594x396.jpg 594w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/analyzing-brainstorming.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@rawpixel?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">rawpixel.com<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/three-women-and-two-men-watching-on-laptop-computer-on-table-1124062\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A junior marketing assistant might love sitting in the room with the director of marketing to get insight into how she can advance her career. That director might love the exchange of ideas with someone who lives and breathes social media. Have a focus for the group, and encourage all members to actively contribute to the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#4 Industry Events<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything can be learned within your company\u2019s walls, so be open to encourage your employees to find external development opportunities. Consider offering a discretionary budget for your staff to attend industry conferences, workshops, and other events where they can learn additional skills that will benefit their current (or future) role with your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an eye out for good events that your staff might be interested in and send out an email each quarter with listings and the process for applying for funding to attend. The employee should be able to express how a given event will help him in his role before you approve the funds to be released.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#5 Online Resources<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for a simpler <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamenfroy.com\/best-online-course-platforms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">professional development resource<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? You\u2019ve got one at your fingertips: the internet. With a plethora of sites and blogs dedicated to every topic under the sun, your employees are just a few taps away from being able to next-level their knowledge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could encourage department managers to create a curated list of useful resources and articles and send them out monthly or weekly. That way, employees don\u2019t have to do the digging themselves for great content, and managers can be selective about what they\u2019d like their teams to learn about.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#6 Manager Feedback<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some employees learn best from feedback. Don\u2019t wait until your annual <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/performance-review-questions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employee performance reviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to let employees know what their weaknesses are. Encourage managers to regularly check in with each team member to highlight what they\u2019re doing right and provide guidance for areas of improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11584\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11584\" src=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-1024x721.jpeg\" alt=\"Regular Feedback Session\" width=\"840\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-1024x721.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-150x106.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-300x211.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-768x541.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-1200x845.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session-594x418.jpeg 594w, https:\/\/grosum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Regular-Feedback-Session.jpeg 1847w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/adult-agreement-beard-beverage-618550\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rawpixel<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If managers are keyed into an employee\u2019s performance, they may be able to suggest microlearning modules that can help the employee shore upon those weak spots. An additional benefit to checking in regularly is that managers can take the pulse of employees and uproot any discontent or frustration before it causes them to seek another job elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>How to Ensure You Have the Right Learning Tool for Your Employees<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likely it will take more than one method to cover the wide range of learning preferences of your staff. Make sure you offer the right options by talking to representatives from each department to get their input on the types of learning tools they would find valuable. Their answers might depend on the type of things they want to learn. Someone looking to beef up her knowledge of social media marketing might do better with hands-on learning opportunities, while an employee who wants to move into a management role might fare better with videos covering leadership strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get feedback on the tools you offer so you can make improvements to your professional development strategy. And pay attention to attrition rates! If they\u2019re still rising (or not shrinking), you either aren\u2019t offering tools that help people qualify for internal promotions or there is another issue that\u2019s causing employees to jump ship. Get to the bottom of the problem so you can keep the staff you\u2019ve worked so hard to train and nurture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep learning modules and videos up to date. As new technologies come out, make sure you offer training resources to educate interested employees on software or apps that could give them a competitive edge in their roles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be beneficial to have a dedicated employee in your HR department manage the professional development aspect since it will continually change and require updating to remain relevant to your employees. Regularly revisit the resources you have available and update any information that is outdated (particularly as it relates to IT and marketing since these fields are constantly changing thanks to new technologies).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company that cares enough about its staff to offer resources for its professional growth is one that will keep employees working hard for longer. Promote your professional development resources as part of your benefits package so you stand out against other businesses vying for top talent in your field. It may be the one thing that makes a qualified candidate choose to work with you over the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>About the author<\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christine Soeun Choi is a digital marketing associate at <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fit Small Business<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
