Are you providing opportunities for people to develop within their role, build leadership competencies, and investigate other roles within your organization? If not, why not? Could someone take what they’ve learned and use it to find new employment? Sure, however, when employees feel they are being invested in, cared about, and are part of a culture that supports and celebrates growth not stifles it, they are much more likely to want to stay and continue to contribute. Today’s workforce seeks development and coaching, and according to SHRM, 76% of employees say they are more likely to stay at a company that offers continuous training…so provide what they seek! Bottom line, if you build up your people, you will retain great talent. #whynotyou #peopledevelopmentwithpeople #motivationmonday #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #traininganddevelopment

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our HR Consultant, Martyn Potter, for a management training session tailored to our leadership team. He guided us through practical strategies for maintaining approachability while earning respect as leaders – a fine balance essential to fostering trust and collaboration.   We dived into effective change management techniques, equipping our managers to support their teams as they adapt without disrupting daily responsibilities. A key takeaway? Understanding that each team member has unique needs when navigating transitions, and that tailored support can make all the difference.   We're excited to put these insights into action as we grow together! #LeadershipDevelopment #ManagementTraining #TeamGrowth #HRInsights
