How We Strive for Employee Growth and Development

At Strive, we have three key pillars that guide everything we do to promote employee growth and development for our customers. Those are:

• Unity
• Growth
• Well-Being

We’ve spoken a lot about the various components of well-being and why it’s important to company culture.

Today, we’re going to talk about an equally important pillar: Growth.

Growth is important for companies because it allows them to expand and become more successful. Strive is all about building an employee growth plan where employees can connect and grow their careers together.

This is mutually beneficial for both a company and an employee because it helps them realize they’re in control of their own destiny and whether or not they succeed.

Our goal is to help our customers succeed, and we believe that growth is the key to achieving that goal.

Our Definition of Growth:

The concept of growth is multi-faceted. It can refer to the physical growth of a person, an organization, or an economy. It can also refer to the growth of knowledge or experience. In business, growth is often measured by the increase in sales or the number of customers.

However, there are other ways to measure growth, such as the number of patents filed or the number of new products introduced. How you measure growth is unique to your business and your employee development goals.

Growth is important for businesses because it allows them to expand their operations and reach new markets. It also allows them to create new jobs and contribute to the economy.

For businesses to grow, they need to be innovative and constantly introduce new products and services. They also need to be responsive to changes in the market and adapt quickly to new trends.

Every organization defines growth differently. Since we believe in creating an empowered and engaged workforce, our definition encompasses personal and professional growth, mentorship at work, learning and professional development, and team growth.

The True Value of Employee Growth and Development

When businesses invest in developing their employees and helping them grow, it leads to a more skilled, motivated, and productive workforce. This ends up benefiting the business in several key ways.

You’re likely to improve employee retention because employees who feel valued in their company are more inclined to stick around. This saves the company money because the cost of retaining an employee is much cheaper than hiring one.

Another significant benefit of designing employee development strategies is increased innovation.

As managers and business owners, we have our own priorities and we’re not utilizing our skill set in the trenches every day. You’d be surprised what your employees can bring to the table if you give them a chance.

Personal Growth

Personal growth is incredibly important for everyone. When you’re constantly growing and learning, you’re able to become a better version of yourself. You open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences, which can help you become more successful in all aspects of your life.

This is why it’s so important to implement employee growth and development ideas because it can benefit your employees in and outside of the business.

They can go home at the end of the day with a sense of self-worth and value which will only make it easier for them to come back the next day.

At Strive, we believe in personal growth and we work hard to create an environment that supports it. We offer a variety of programs and services that help employees grow both professionally and personally. We believe that when employees grow, the company grows too.

There are many things you can do to foster personal growth, such as:

• Taking on new challenges
• Learning new things
• Trying new things
• Meeting new people
• Traveling to new places
• Expanding your horizons

Learning & Professional Development

Employees who feel that they are constantly learning and growing are more likely to be productive and satisfied with their job. Learning and professional development opportunities help employees stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments in their field, which can help them be more innovative and successful.

Most importantly, transparency matters and your employees need to understand how an employee growth plan can benefit them.

If you’re providing learning and development opportunities for your employees, you’re investing in them and their long-term success.

We believe in empowering company culture with learning and professional development because it creates a present and future dynamic centered around the beautiful benefits of growth.

Team Growth

Team growth is important to the workforce because it allows employees to learn new skills and develop professionally. It’s important to know that team growth isn’t always easy. Sometimes those tricky and uncomfortable situations, when handled with strategy and respect, can actually bring a team even closer together.

When employees can grow and learn, they are more engaged with their work and feel like they are making progress. This can lead to a more productive, satisfied workforce. Leaders who invest in team growth can create a more engaged and productive team.

Mentorship at Work

Mentorship at work is crucial to both professional and personal growth; for both the mentor and the mentee.

Mentorship is important because it provides guidance and support through the ups and downs of life and work. A good mentor provides help in navigating challenging situations, setting realistic goals, and developing new skills.

They can also offer networking opportunities and advice on how to progress in a career path. For the mentor, it provides a sense of giving back and empowering fellow employees toward a common goal. It provides an opportunity for people to go “above” the normal call of duty and practice new interpersonal and leadership skills.
