Speaking of Success: Top Tips On How To Invest In Your People
Top Tips On How To Invest In Your People
A few weeks ago we released our first ever podcast, Speaking of Success, where we discussed the importance of Investing in People. Understanding many businesses struggle with both time and finance to truly invest in their employee’s development, we sat down with Lucy Shutt-Vine, an experienced L&D professional and career coach, to explore some useful techniques which you can try to implement into your business. The truth is, if you do not take the time away to train and coach now, when will you? There’s always another project or deadline and your employees become more reliant on you for answers.
Investing in your employees doesn’t necessarily mean a financial investment. There are many things you can do to empower your employees growth. As we discuss in this podcast, creating a feedback culture goes a long way. But, you shouldn’t just focus on under-performing employees, help the whole team feel empowered and support your high performers become even better. According to Forbes, 40% of dissatisfied employees leave their jobs, and each disengaged employee costs employers up to £400 annually.
Lucy explained, “Giving someone space to think, talk and by asking them questions gives them the opportunity to actually think of their solutions. This is something I have noticed from coaching, when you stop telling people what they should be doing and ask them the question of ‘what would be best to do here?’ that suddenly people come up with their own ideas and they are much more
motivated to do that idea as well.”
