Importance of employee development report

Put growth at the forefront of employee experience

Employee development is a proven driver of motivation and engagement. People’s want – and need – for a thoughtful approach to career development is increasingly becoming a must-have for culture first organizations.

Traditional approaches to development are often informal and inconsistent, leaving room for your employees to grow increasingly disengaged. As a matter of fact, Culture Amp’s research shows that employees without access to consistent development opportunities are 2x more likely to leave within a year.

Employee development directly impacts engagement, retention, and business success. By prioritizing and setting a solid development strategy that’s personalized to the experience and needs of your employees, you’ll be on track to retain your top talent and ultimately support business success.
