HR Question: Retaining our top talent has become a huge concern at our organization. In a recent survey, our employees said they don’t feel like they have opportunities for training. We've offered training but get pushback from employees who do not want to go. There's clearly a disconnect between what our employees want and what we're offering. How can I get my team more engaged in training?
HR Answer: You're right – it does sound like there is a disconnect here! And it is no secret that training and development offerings are one of the key tools that employers can use today to retain the talent they already have. Per Forbes, 70 percent of employees would leave their current employer for another organization that has a reputation of developing and training their people.
But don't worry. The good news is there are ways to find that middle ground between what your employees want to know and what you, as the employer, need them to know.
