Shaping the Future of Employee Development

According to Joey Coleman, the author of Never

Lose an Employee Again, employers recognize that “employees need to feel

like they matter, that what they’re doing matters, and that what they are

offering moves the needle forward.”

Research indicates that the impact of the pandemic has influenced

employees’ perceptions of work. For instance, in 2022, burnout ranked

high among employees’ concerns. However, by 2023, employee well-being

and training emerged as primary concerns, alongside the development of

talent and managers’ effectiveness. Employees seek inspiration,

engagement, and the assurance of their value within

organizations. As employers grapple with the costs of employee

turnover and workforce shortages, they cannot afford to

overlook their employees’ concerns.
