What If Your Boss Will NOT Develop You?

What If Your Boss Will NOT Develop You? | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it

"Just yesterday, a CEO in one of my workshops on retaining people, “You’re the Person I WANT to KEEP”, asked me what to do about a manager in his company that refused to train and develop his team because he felt he was training people for other companies - does this sound dysfunctional to you?"

Barry Deutsch's insight:

Training and personal development are two of the most effective levers you control to improve employee happiness, engagement, and satisfaction. Studies show that companies who invest in training and development attract, retain, and have above average results. Why are you not investing more in training?

How many studies do we need to look at that training and development is a powerful attraction, retention, engagement, and motivational tool?

 

Why do so few entrepreneurial companies see little value in training and development?
