Summary:
Employee turnover in small to midsize organizations is often caused by issues with the immediate manager and lack of growth opportunities. To address this, managers should implement an individual development plan (IDP) for each employee. The IDP should be collaborative and focused on the employee's goals and career aspirations. It should include specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Managers should identify the employee's existing skills and areas for improvement and provide opportunities for growth and development within the organization. Regular check-ins and progress tracking are essential, and flexibility should be built into the plan. Celebrating wins is also important to keep the team engaged and motivated.
