In this episode…Leading organizational studies show that employee skill development and training is 70% experiential, 30% collaborative, and 10% in-classroom learning. These methods create pathways for employees to progress within an organization. How can you nurture team growth while supporting your organization’s needs?
Talent development expert Traci Austin has established a proprietary talent pathway plan to identify and support employees’ growth trajectories within an organization. The process involves collaborating with management and leadership teams to identify employees’ invaluable skills and traits and determine ideal role progressions that align with organizational structures. The plan is only effective when an organization determines its intention and aligns it with company-wide outcomes. They must also foster continuous improvement through feedback structures and training that supports long-term growth.
In this installment of The People Strategy Podcast Team Retention series, co-host Chad Franzen of Rise25 interviews Traci Austin about developing talent pathway plans. She talks about how to integrate diversity, inclusion, mentorship, and feedback into these plans, how to consider individual career aspirations, and the difference between succession, employee development, and talent pathways.
