Ensuring employees have a pathway to professional growth is critical in the establishment of a solid company culture; however, not all employees are ready for management roles. Providing them with the skills they need to climb the ladder will keep them engaged and ensure the company has a robust pipeline of talent. But that means investing in leadership training—for everyone. By providing this type of training to all employees, they’ll better understand their current roles and what it will take for them to grow. This will, in turn, increase productivity by ensuring everyone knows what’s expected of them and how best to get the job done. They’ll be better able to collaborate and communicate between teams and departments, and they’ll feel more engaged, more independent, and better able to take charge of their career rather than simply being told what to do. By providing leadership training for all employees, there’s built-in succession planning. As older leaders age out, a new generation can rise to the occasion, so there should never be gaps in your leadership team.
