Talent engagement has always been a critical factor in organizational performance, but recent studies show that 85% of full-time employees worldwide report dissatisfaction with their current positions, leaving only 15% of workers truly performing at their best. Why?
That's because traditional engagement strategies centered on compensation are no longer enough. With a new generation of workers coming into the labour market, professional priorities are shifting. So what are the engagement strategies that do work?
Professional development and career support within and outside of the company has emerged as the single most powerful driver of employee engagement. We call this systematic support of professional development Career Wellness.
Career wellness provides a structured approach that addresses engagement with internal mobility, career development and outplacement solutions. while delivering quantifiable business benefits such as reduced talent acquisition costs, accelerated capability development, and strengthened workplace culture.
Here's how Career Wellness applies to every stage of employment.
Engaging New and Future Talent
Job skills information remains largely inaccessible to professionals in actionable formats. This data is essential to help employees identify the skills they need to grow within the company and steer their careers into a high-demand, leadership role.
Help future talent identify and understand the critical skills you are looking to develop internally by keeping your job descriptions focused on the competencies you need most. Most importantly, help new employees understand how their role fits into the organization, the available career paths, and specific steps to advance their careers.
Developing Existing Employees
Today's leading professional priority for employees is learning and career development opportunities. By providing these opportunities in a flexible, self-managed format that leads to real career outcomes, you can make your employees feel supported in their unique career journey, leading to greater engagement, goodwill for the organization, and improved workplace culture.
Managing Transitions for Departing Employees
Restructurings are inevitable but they should never come as a surprise. How organizations handle these transitions are not easily forgotten by your employees. Organizations that prioritize the relationship, well-being, and future career prospects of their departing employees with outplacement solutions improve the odds of attracting new talent and maintaining a positive going-forward culture among their workforce.
