Leading Talent Development Strategies

Despite retention difficulties sweeping across industries, employers are slow to catch onto the emerging talent development trend. Leading talent development strategies cover all the bases recently identified as leading talent loss. Although each business has a unique circumstance, every industry can discover its leading talent development strategies, and BCT experts can help.

Mind the Gap

The first step in any attempt at internal employee development is discovering the capability gaps. The only way to leave the Peter Principle behind is to see what’s missing and then plan to educate. Of course, this plan aligns with C-suite business objectives, and there’s no good reason it shouldn’t.

Executive Buy-In

Although the short answer to every business question is “money,” any effective talent development strategy needs buy-in from the C-suite. And like many plans, the more detailed the desires of the top-floor, the easier it is to create a development plan. Buy-one, get-one has never looked better.

Iterate Quickly

A good plan not only has a goal but a way to measure results. If those ingredients are missing, it’s not a plan. It’s a wish. The faster your company can adjust to your talent development programs, the faster that tool becomes part of your competitive advantage. Sweat the details.

Leading talent development strategies require vision, commitment, and the ability to accept a steep learning curve. Let the experts at BCT help you discover the right path to talent development.
