Elevating your team with people development

When we talk about people development, it's natural to think of lectures, meetings or training sessions. These activities are the formal means of applying the concept of people development. Any action to boost morale and empower your team is a form of development. 


Development is the acquisition of knowledge, skills or the preparation of people for new directions or responsibilities.


Other ways are through mentoring, coaching, informal learning, self-directed learning, lectures, meetings or even an informal conversation in the hallway.


What are the benefits of people development?

Training and developing people fills gaps in the workplace due to a lack of knowledge or confidence to perform their daily responsibilities. This helps organizations become more competitive and independent. 


How people respond to development is also an excellent tool for identifying high-performing employees. These trainings enable these people to advance into positions of greater responsibility and continue to perform excellent work.


Evolving has become constant in large corporations. Some found in the constant development of people a way to be more innovative and agile. This directly impacts your revenue.


A culture of people development

A survey carried out by Clear Company revealed that 68% of employees believe that staff training and development is the most important policy for the company.


The avid desire of the new generation to be better and evolve in their work environment means that the company's main culture is to constantly train and evolve its employees. 


The idea of competitiveness increases employee frustration. A culture of development increases people's engagement and their feeling of being valued in the work environment.


This culture is mainly thought of by the human resources sector. It is common to have an employee responsible for developing activities that directly impact the success of employees through a culture of constant development.


Learning is fundamental to employee well-being. It is an initial and ideal way to start a culture of people development.

People development as a retention tool

Employee turnover is a constant concern. Hence the importance of corporate education. It is a powerful tool for retaining talent and training new employees.


If you want to keep your employees more engaged, consider starting a training program now. This makes it possible to create new careers for current employees.


Two easy ways to encourage this process are:

  1. Creation of online training: Using an online training platform, such as Hotscool, you create a digital environment for employee development and the possibility of creating a solid career. LinkedIn's 2018 Workplace Learning Report found that 93% of employees stayed with a company longer because it invested in their careers. In the same report, 68% of employees prefer to learn in their work environment.
  2. Budget for training: If you do not want to offer your own training, provide the necessary resources so that the employee can seek it out on their own. Many employees already have this attitude, a budget to enhance this predisposition is an important step for the company.


The “fruits” that companies reap from implementing corporate education as a retention tool at an early stage are extraordinary. 


Be creative in developing people

When thinking of ways to elevate your team, be creative. People are open to loving their work environments and they will help you.


Don't limit yourself to just learning. It's a good start, but there are other ways. A work environment that has challenges and motivates people to grow retains many more employees.


In large companies, people development is based on the specific needs of each sector, team or group of people. The type of skills that need to be developed is also taken into account.


Here are some examples of these skills:

  • Development of technical skills
  • Soft skills development
  • Compliance training
  • Security trainings
  • Management training
  • Creating new leaders
  • Onboarding


These were some ideas. Your work environment is an excellent source of knowledge for creating this evolutionary journey.


The best way to evaluate team development is to incorporate indicators that are impacted by the employee's level of maturity on a given subject. Again, the human resources sector is your main ally in this process.


Here at Hotscool we care a lot about the well-being of the team and their development. What was seen as a cost quickly became an investment. Personnel training is part of the company’s “DNA”.
