Workforce Trends and the Opportunities for T&D

Globoforce’s Workforce Mood Tracker™ The September 2011 Report (Download) has identified five trends around employee retention and recognition that include:

  1. More employees dissatisfied and seeking new jobs despite challenging job market
  2. Employees still haven’t found what they are looking for – more recognition
  3. Employees seek changes to their recognition programs
  4. Improving recognition alone isn’t enough
  5. What’s in it for employers? More productive employees

We are in total agreement that these trends are key in our industry. Training and Development is evolving beyond just delivering off the shelf classes and into a strategic, business-essential role. T&D professionals are now demonstrating how their organizations are essential to the overall goals of their larger organizations and contributing to employee retention, satisfaction, recognition, skills improvement and more! So why are these the first budgets to get cut??!!
