Action Profile #5: Delivering a High-Impact Development Program to Drive Retention
Scenario: Facing tumultuous times, a competitive landscape, and a looming retention issue, this client wanted to develop a series of ‘personal development’ workshops which would be delivered that employees would view as a company-sponsored event aimed at their personal career development.
Response: Incite Strategies created a series of 90-minute "lunch and learn" workshops with the goal of providing applicable tools designed to help employees manage their own careers.
Proposition: In the craziness of a traditional workday, would employees actually make the time to take advantage of an opportunity to focus on their personal development? Would employees realize the value and benefit of this company-sponsored benefit and would it drive good-will?
Action: The sessions were an overwhelming success and as ‘the buzz’ grew, subsequent sessions were increasingly attended. The goal was to provide interactive workshops focused on personal development that would resonate very personally with each employee. Topics included ‘Managing Your Personal Brand,’ ‘REAL Communication,’ ‘Leveraging Your Network,’ and ‘Incite on Leadership.’
