How to help your team grow their career when promotion / raise isn't an option. This article captures some good ideas: - job rotations - internal recruiting - training (not my favorite) Remember the PIE model of success. Your success depends on: P = Performance I = Image E = Exposure Your success is roughly 10% Performance, 30% Image, 60% Exposure. Giving your high performers more exposure is a win. And it's why I don't love most training -- it typically impacts your performance, which is a small part of your overall success. Good training programs give you the toolset + mindset to impact image & exposure.

Fuelling Career Confidence: The impact of training on job performance Webinar We really enjoyed this webinar hosted by NEBOSH with West Sussex County Council. "In this engaging session, we delved into the crucial relationship between training and job performance, whilst also building career confidence. Using West Sussex County Council as a case study, we explored the challenges their employees faced in their day-to-day work and discuss effective strategies that aligned their training content with these challenges and ultimately influenced behavioural change. It highlighted the role of training as a catalyst for developing the skills, knowledge, and mindset necessary to overcome common workplace challenges such as questions around how to build a learning culture and how to embed learning into the flow of work. By strengthening learner engagement, we can enhance motivation, job satisfaction, and overall performance. By watching this webinar, you will leave with a deeper understanding of the role of training in fuelling career confidence and improving job performance. https://lnkd.in/grp3Wf35 #iss #workplacehealth #industrialsafetysolutions #uksafety #careerconfidence

#EmployeeDevelopment programs that solely focus on promotions limit the potential of all of your employees. If you want to improve your #EmployeeEngagement, #Retention, and participation in your programs, you must hone in on something other than promotions. In our latest article, we challenge #HR leaders to radically reframe their perspectives on career development training.

During a training today we touched on the topic of motivators. I shared a provoking perspective and I'm curious to hear what this network things about it. In the top 10 motivators identified in an internal survey of a leading consultancy there was mention of "Competitive salary". We had an interesting conversation about remuneration. We touched on intrinsic & extrinsic motivators and looked at how they can have long vs short term impact. With that in mind, to build a healthy culture, someone should not support requests of competitive salary as that's an extrinsic motivator. At that point someone shared how everyone wants a high remuneration, so it should be given. That it's smart for a company to offer it. After a brief back & forth I suggested how I believe that we shouldn't always give employees what they ask referring at how an ever increasing remuneration can trigger toxic dynamics within the organisation. I am interested in insights from both people who can share expert thoughts on this topic and people who are just having an emotional reaction, of any kind, to my suggestion. Looking forward to reading your opinions. For once, feel free to inflame the thread (while always remaining respectful of everyone's opinion) if this is something you are passionate about 🔥

You might be surprised to learn that the term "soft skills" was created by the US Army in the 1960s to refer to any skills not involving machinery. Today, soft skills are perhaps the most important collection of traits for professionals. https://lnkd.in/eE5vkd9

When we are learning, we experience higher levels of brain activity and many feel-good brain chemicals are produced.

Soft skills might be more important than hard skills” I like to think of “soft skills” as the mortar that keeps the bricks (hard skills) of a strong house together. We need to ensure we aren’t neglecting them in technical fields, and focus on trying to get our employees some sort of training in them.
