5 tips to empower staff career advancement
Ready to start fostering a spirit of continuous growth in your organization? Follow these five tips to get started:
1. Certifications for software
As your employees seek to upskill and learn new technology, you should consider leveraging your association management software (AMS) to do the heavy lifting. With a great AMS, you can offer certification tracks for your staff to help them better understand the platform and increase their awareness of new features to optimize your organizational operations.
After completing the certification course, your staff can post the certificate on their LinkedIn profile. Offering software certifications is a fantastic way to provide self-directed and continuous training opportunities for your staff.
2. Certifications for skills
Help your staff develop the skills they need to advance their careers. Leverage your AMS to invest in your employee’s career growth, offering continuous education opportunities with skill certification.
Ensure that your selected AMS makes it easy for staff to measure their growth with knowledge checks, tracking how many questions an employee gets correct on a quiz before completing a certificate.
3. User groups
Leverage your AMS to create a community for staff to network, ask questions, and discuss career advancement questions. When you create a dedicated space for staff to connect about career advancement pursuits, you’ll foster a spirit of continuous growth.
And, at least if you’re a Nimble AMS customer,the learning doesn’t stop there! Connect with hundreds of other customers in NimbleLand to learn about their successes, discuss your processes, and ask questions from other like-minded individuals.
4. Offer technology training
According to Forrester, 80% of employees said they’d stay in their job if they were trained in technology. However, only 47% of employees report receiving any data training from their employer.
Communicate with your staff that you wish to offer technology training at your organization to improve their skills and develop your organization. You can also consider prioritizing technology training initiatives at your organization, offering intro and advanced options for your employees. Look into whether the products in your primary tech stack offer certifications or other training to bolster both your employees’ knowledge and your productivity.
5. Salesforce Trailhead
Another great way to encourage continuous training opportunities for your employees is by leveraging Salesforce Trailhead. With Salesforce Trailhead, your employees can easily level up their skills, through online, interactive tutorials.
