When employees struggle to get ahead, they often seek opportunities to do so elsewhere.<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, many workers feel their employers stifle their professional growth, leading to an all-too-common revolving door.<\/p>\n

How relevant a problem is this? A\u00a0Work Institute study<\/a>\u00a0found that a lack of growth opportunities was the top reason for employee attrition over 10 straight years.<\/p>\n

You invest hours and financial resources into sourcing and wooing top talent. Why would you want to allow future superstars to leave too soon? Rather than watching good performers walk out the door, nurture their ambition early and often to show them how they can grow with your company. Here are three key benefits of promoting internally:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New employees will see a path toward advancement.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Maybe you feel like you\u2019re already\u00a0promoting internal employees.\u00a0Still, don\u2019t assume that your new hires understand your commitment to offering\u00a0professional growth opportunities. One\u00a0study suggests that\u00a077% of workers feel unsupported<\/a>\u00a0when it comes to career development. To overcome this, make a point of addressing employee advancement in your onboarding and throughout weekly meetings and coaching sessions.<\/p>\n

    What are some ways to broach this subject at the dawn of your relationship with employees? Share numerous ways that they can move within the corporate ranks, being as specific as possible. You might even want to highlight how seasoned associates routinely evolve from part-timers to full-time employees within your organization. Many companies we\u2019ve worked with have seen associates make this transition, and we\u2019ve even seen it happen at Integrity Staffing Solutions. In fact, several leaders within our company began as temporary workers.<\/p>\n

    Keep the conversation going as new associates get settled into their roles. Work with them to develop their skills and identify opportunities for improvement, all while remaining aligned to your employees\u2019 professional growth goals. The path toward advancement will be well-lit, plus they will know what they need to do to get there and that you support them every step of the way.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You can\u00a0<\/strong>improve employee retention<\/strong><\/a>and satisfaction through mentorships.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Mentoring programs work. Whether formal or informal, they connect newer employees with long-time team members while providing the former with someone to talk with about personal and career goals beyond their manager. Plus, a good mentorship can allow your executive team to spot tomorrow\u2019s leaders today.<\/p>\n

      For instance, part of your mentoring culture could involve bringing mentors together occasionally to discuss how they approach their mentees and how those reciprocal relationships are developing. Mentors can even spot early red flags that might indicate their mentees aren\u2019t feeling attached to the company. This foresight allows you to stay ahead of problems and keep your team members motivated and engaged as they continue to grow with your company.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Your internal hires will adapt faster to their roles.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        It\u2019s no secret that outside hires typically take longer to adjust to company culture than internal ones. That doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t sift through external r\u00e9sum\u00e9s to fill open positions, of course, but you should consider the efficiency of\u00a0developing employees for internal promotion.<\/p>\n

        Even if someone transfers from one department to another, it won\u2019t be as jarring as it might be for someone unfamiliar with your company\u2019s day-to-day vibe. Yes, outside perspectives can be fresh, exciting, and needed. But effortlessly filling an open position with someone who already knows your organization, who has built relationships with all the key stakeholders, and who can skip the onboarding period needed with a new hire might make more sense. Familiarity is sometimes invaluable.<\/p>\n

        Have openings? Great. It\u2019s time to start your recruitment journey. Just make sure you don\u2019t overlook existing team members, including any part-timers, full-timers, and independent contractors already on your payroll. Show candidates they can grow within your company, and they will show you loyalty and that they\u2019re in it for the long haul.<\/p>\n
