3. Align business growth and employee growth.

Employees know their positions within the workplace, but now employees are looking for growth plans and goals to further their careers. So how can you align their goals for growth with your business growth plans? Goal tracking! Employees are often more focused and motivated to achieve goals when results are for themselves and the company. You must keep your employees engaged, and by regular communication between employer and employee it helps trigger new behaviour, help guides focus and view their tracking progress. We have found from speaking to employers that individual goals and the willingness to invest in your people with goal tracking will increase loyalty and better overall company performance.
