New Edition of Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go Offers Strategies for Organizations to Thrive in a Competitive Labor Market
SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. (PRWEB) January 15, 2019 -- Career development is one of the most powerful levers that leaders have to drive engagement, job satisfaction, business outcomes, and bottom-line results. And yet, year after year, it continues to be the primary stated reason good people give when they quit and move on.
Leadership and talent development expert and co-author of the expanded second edition of Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Organizations Need and Employees Want, Julie Winkle Giulioni, offers solutions to help organizations attract, develop, and retain top talent through career development.
Her insights are particularly timely given today’s employment environment. Consider these statistics: The latest Bureau of Labor report shows that we are currently experiencing the tightest labor market in recent history. A recent TalentNow survey illuminates a disturbing shortage of talent. And the way people want to work is morphing too, as evidenced by the growth in the contingent or gig workforce.
“Although the workplace has changed dramatically, career development remains frozen in time. Old mindsets and frameworks are falling woefully short of what’s needed today. What’s needed is an updated approach that reflects the contemporary business reality and the shift toward flatter and more fluid organizational structures—but this approach to development must keep pace with the speed of business,” says Winkle Giulioni.
The new edition of international bestseller Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go, published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers, does just this. The book is available today on Amazon.com and other booksellers.
Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go, co-authored with Beverly Kaye, exposes the reality of career development in today’s workplace . . . and offers actionable strategies to ensure engagement, retention, and growth. It responds to the importance organizations place on developing a positive employment reputation or brand with a new chapter of how to cultivate a development-supporting culture—even including an organizational assessment on the subject.
“Talent is the most powerful and sustainable competitive advantage a business has in today’s complex and fast-changing environment. As a result, development is good for business and it’s not as hard as many leaders seem to believe,” says co-author Winkle Giulioni.
