Whether leading a team or heading up an HR department, one of the most important things you can do to nurture and retain talent is provide them with personal development opportunities. This can be anything from leadership training or building a new skill, to simply pursuing a passion that inspires an employee in and out of the workplace.
Employees are more likely to get excited about personal development opportunities when they can see the broader benefits beyond the job and when it provides some tangible and personal benefit to them, such as improving their financial situation and quality of life.
