Q12

This last year, I have had opportunities to learn and grow.

Three Ways to Challenge Employees to Learn and Grow

Continuous
An environment that encourages continuous learning
Expanding
Short-term “stretch” goals that motivate employees to expand their current knowledge or skill set
Aspirational
Career-oriented development plans that align with each person’s strengths and aspirations

For many people, progress in a role distinguishes a career from employment that is “just a job”. To improve and progress, employees need to feel someone or something is challenging them.”
