1. Onboarding
One of the most important things for a company to invest in is the development of a solid, onboarding system. A strong onboarding system will help your new employees start off on better footing and feel competent more quickly. They will make fewer errors. And they will feel more connected to the company overall, which means they will most likely stay longer.A good onboarding system should have the necessary training for new employees clearly defined, and a schedule to ensure the training is completed in a timely manner. Onboarding plans should also include ways to connect new employees to their coworkers and supervisors. New employees should be introduced to the company’s mission and their role in the overall flow of the process.
2. Create Career Paths
What is a career path? A career path is a plan of how an employee can move forward in their career at your company. Starting in an entry-level position, where could an employee move within the company? What skills and training are needed for other positions? How much time does it typically take to reach the next level? Developing career paths for employees will improve employee engagement and retention. Employees want to work towards something. They want to know there is something more for them in the company beyond their current position. Defining what skills and training are needed for other positions will help employees envision a future in the company.
3. Provide Training
After creating career paths, begin to put together the training employees will need to move into other positions. Training serves multiple purposes. For starters, investing in training builds an internal pool of skilled employees to hire when skilled positions open up. Hiring internally eliminates the cost of hiring a new employee, plus, the employee is already familiar with the company. Also, training employees means they have a better understanding of their work in some capacity. Any increase in knowledge will benefit the company’s bottom line.Growth and development opportunities are something that younger generations are looking for. According to a LinkedIn study, 94% of employees say they would stay at their company longer if their company invested in their learning and development. Investing in training means improved retention and improved employee engagement, and it also directly impacts your company’s ability to fill skilled positions.
