• Increased Employee Engagement: Development opportunities are key drivers of employee engagement and job satisfaction.
• Better Performance: Employees who receive regular development are more likely to perform at a higher level.
• Reduced Turnover: Companies that invest in employee development see lower turnover rates.

Context

Industry Context

Every person can improve. Employee development helps people to identify the areas where they can improve and provides them with the tools and resources to do so.

ZeroBlockers Context

Line managers in ZeroBlockers have no direct control over how their team members operate. They lead through influence rather than authority because each Stream Team has to decide on their way of working. Therefore, developing employees is different compared to traditional management practices and requires a more collaborative approach.

Methods

Anti-patterns

• Neglecting Personal Development: Focusing solely on current job functions without considering future roles or career paths.
