Strive to Thrive: Employee Development Opportunities the Small Giants Way

ou’ve gotten the talent in the door – people who are skilled, have a values alignment with your company, and are a great cultural add – but how do you keep them around? Most employees want room to grow within a company, and see that as a strong reason to stay long term. But we’re not just talking about promotions and title changes; for many Small Giants companies who have a small team or a flat structure, that’s not always possible. So, what are some other ways to help your employees grow, and give them a sense of development that they can be proud of?

Join us for our next virtual event to dig into the topic of employee development. We’ll talk to Jennifer Trakhtenberg, Senior Talent Leader of ClearVision Optical, Missy Light, Training & Development Facilitator of Pegasus Logistics Group, and Doug Kueker, Co-Founder & Chief Learning Solutions Officer of Vivayic. The panel will cover:

• Internship programs and how they can be strategic in building your talent pipeline
  
• Building Individual Development Plans to encourage learning in both hard and soft skills.
  
• The benefits of curating a Skills Inventory.
  
• Developing employees to become trainers and mentors.
  
• The concept of “lattice learning” and how growth doesn’t have to be a straight line.
