Gone are the days when development meant a quarterly training session and a checkbox in a performance review. Today’s workforce, especially Millennials and Gen Z, expect continuous, personalised, and empowering learning experiences.
They want ownership over their development. And when they don’t get it? They leave.
Every employee brings a unique mix of experience, goals, and gaps. Yet most companies still offer cookie-cutter development.
Here’s the problem with that:
Personalised development is not about creating 1:1 learning paths manually, it’s about using skills data and AI to automate and scale relevance.
Employees who don’t understand how to grow within your organisation will grow elsewhere.
What transparency looks like in a modern development strategy:
According to Gallup, 87% of Millennials rate “professional or career growth and development opportunities” as important to them in a job. This isn’t a perk. It’s a must.
A strong internal mobility program is rooted in robust development. If employees can see where they can go, and how to get there - they’re more likely to stay.
All of this is possible when you bring performance, learning, and career growth into one cohesive system.
If you want to retain top talent, empower them to own their development with the tools to support it.
