How managers can support employees career path

It’s important to invest in employees by offering promotions and pay rises, as well as providing professional development training courses.

Managers should ensure their employees are given a clear trajectory of what they need to work towards, and offer constructive feedback on a regular basis.

Implementing a mentoring programme to ensure individuals have the opportunity to work alongside different teams will also help develop their skills and subsequent career path.

Juliet Moran, founder of TelephoneSystems.Cloud, a UK VoIP provider said: “Managers and business owners should take the time to recognise the importance of their employees and invest in their career development.

“This will not only help your colleagues progress, but will in turn grow your business outputs and improve employee retention.

“You should set aside a generous budget in order to invest in valuable training courses and opportunities for employees, and offer promotions and pay rises to well-deserved individuals.

“Managers should also regularly check in with their colleagues to offer constructive feedback and present opportunities for growth whilst supporting workers progressing up the career path.

“Here at TelephoneSystems.Cloud we provide a profit share scheme which ensures that the staff feel their hard work is rewarded, so the whole team can benefit when the business is doing well.”

Here’s how to support your employees career path

Invest in promotions and training

Facilitate your employees career progression by offering well-deserved promotions and pay rises. It’s important to invest in helpful and meaningful training courses and development opportunities that your industry offers. Investing in employees and actively making decisions to grow their skills and knowledge will also increase staff retention and assist them in progressing up the career ladder. Managers can also value hard-working staff by implementing profit share schemes.

Provide a clear trajectory

Offer employees a clear trajectory of their career path at the company and ensure they understand what they’re working towards. Setting out a clear plan of action that is tailored to individuals will ensure employees know what they need to be working on in order to progress.

Offer insightful and constructive feedback

One of the most helpful things to do is provide genuine and constructive feedback on a regular basis. It’s important to set this up as a career development session with helpful pointers on how their work can improve - rather than coming across as aggressive. Check in with employees to ensure they are working to the best of their ability and enjoying the job with scheduled one to one meetings.

Implement a mentoring programme

Encourage a friendly environment where employees feel comfortable raising any concerns with their career progression. Implementing a mentor programme will allow support from the wider team rather than just a line manager. Allow space for the opportunity to work with people in different areas of the business through the mentor scheme to encourage skills development, which in turn can develop their career.

Be trusting with new opportunities for growth

Build a trusting relationship when it comes to growth opportunities. Allow employees to learn what the next step up of their career will involve by allowing them the chance to work close alongside senior colleagues. By presenting new opportunities to individuals, workers feel as though they can learn on the job whilst still having the support they need.

Busineses can make these improvements to employees with supported technology too. Switching to a business cloud phone system gives your staff the flexability they need, while allow your business to keep an eye on the business phone calls and business activity.
