Here’s why taking an active interest in their personal development can help you better support and motivate your employees.
For growing companies to future-proof themselves for the decades ahead, their leaders must demonstrate that they value their employee’s dreams, interests, and well-being just as much as the organisation’s bottom line.
Talking about your people’s personal goals acknowledges that they have lives and aspirations beyond the workplace.
What are their passions? Is there a side project they’re eager to finish this year?
When they see that you care deeply and take their interests into account, they’ll feel more inspired in and out of work!
“If we want to feel an undying passion for our work, we need to understand our why.”
– Simon Sinek
As a leader, you have the role of acting as a “sense maker” for your people.
Coach them through conversations that will help them reflect on what they want to achieve, both personally and professionally. Doing so can help you (and them!) connect the dots and fuel excitement towards their role.
The best way to nurture and retain top performers is to relate their personal development to the organisation’s overarching goals.
This makes their roles more meaningful and reminds them that the work they do matters and is actively contributing to their personal goals.
Tailor projects and responsibilities to suit each person’s goals. Do they dream of being a better public speaker? Perhaps you could assign them to host your next virtual event. Listening to their personal and professional motivations will help you drive a deeper sense of fulfilment in the workplace.
At Exelero, we are relentlessly people-focused.
We see our employees as the driving force behind our success. That means listening deeper and going the extra mile for them, too!
