Underestimating the value of constant development of talents through training is the biggest mistake that organisations can make. Organisation can see it as a double folded cost rather than investment.
Nowadays, appealing Gen-Z and Millennials talents is crucial for any industry and two of their main drivers are strong development and career progression opportunities. They are eager to be trained and explore new areas.
Let’s have a clear example: a manager hiring a fresh employee from a different nationality. He/she is working on different continent, country, time zones and has a strong autonomy in his/her professional life. He/she is eager to learn more, play a part in company strategy. If clear goals and roles, objectives and vision are not communicated, the employee will disengage and look for other opportunities elsewhere.
