2023 achieve Virtual: DevelUp

2023 achieve Virtual: DevelUp
Volatility is the new normal and a reliance on legacy systems and resistance to change stand to have dire consequences for organizations. While 66% of CEOs know that things need to change, they are reluctant to pursue work models and approaches that differ from those used in the past (Accenture, 2021).
A common question among leaders today then becomes, “how can we effectively mobilize our talent for today's work environment while providing opportunities for growth?”
The answer is clear - build a company that knows how to “DevelUp.”
Scaling your workforce development is no easy task, but increased retention, productivity, and performance make the journey worthwhile. With all the ambiguity that is ahead, organizations must make people development a top priority.

Internal Talent Mobility: Using Career Pathways To Foster Engagement And Retention
Tiffany Alicia Lumley Hernández, Sr. Manager, People Development and Belonging, Pushpay
Shalini Nag, Founder & People Strategist, EvidaSolve
Retention is one of those words in today's work environment that will give any organizational leader shivers. Employees, especially from younger generations, want to know, "as we help the organization grow, how will we grow along with it?" It's up to our leaders and our organizations to provide that kind of transparency and clarity.
We know that employees want career growth opportunities, but what does career growth look like, and how can an individual grow in their career? Tiffany Alicia Lumley Hernández says one of the first questions we must ask our employees is, “what does career growth actually mean to you?” because “. . .growth is unique to increase employees values, motivators, and vision for their career.” Additionally, Dr. Shalini Nag notes that to support our employees’ career growth, we need to shift performance reviews and feedback from being “. . . a power equation of one person judging or evaluating the other to a mutual growth opportunity.” You can increase employee engagement and retention by forming an alliance with your employees and understanding their professional and personal goals.
In this impact accelerator session, we provide insights regarding the conversations needed between leaders and employees and the necessary realignment of the employee-employer relationship. Additionally, we discuss ways to foster engagement through personalized career pathways.
Session Outcomes:
- Learn how to design and launch individual career pathways on a lean budget.
