(bright music) Welcome to Employee Development Strategy. In these lessons we'll address the role of frontline management in employee development, employee development strategies, and creating a supportive infrastructure within the organization. Managers and supervisors are critical factors in an employee's growth. If management consistently encourages an employee to take part in training and development initiatives that will help display the importance of development to the employee and the organization. Convince your employees that development activities are relevant and emphasize the long term benefits that training will bring to them and the company. Managers play a crucial role in motivating employees to learn new skills and grow over time. Work can become monotonous when employees perform the same repetitive tasks every day. Managers and supervisors can change up the work day by giving employees the opportunity to try something different and stretch their abilities. It's up to the managers and supervisors to ensure that employees realize that their job isn't just to show up in the morning, sign in, leave on time, and get paid. It's also to contribute their ideas. An employee's ability to come up with fresh concepts and unique ideas is critical to their company's success. The ability to think outside the box comes from regularly updating knowledge and abilities. Allow employees to think outside the box. A worker with a closed mindset is unlikely to make a significant contribution to their company. Meet with your employees to determine what knowledge and skills they're missing and what new abilities those employees will need to improve their productivity and broaden their contributions. Providing accurate feedback to your team is crucial. And if you're a manager, you can only provide accurate feedback if you're aware of your employee's activities. At the end of each month, look at your employee's work and check where they need improvement. Provide courses, websites, and study materials to improve their knowledge, skills, and abilities. As their leader, you can lead by example and actively engage your employees in ongoing development initiatives to show that you genuinely value them. But bear in mind, it's important to respect other people's opinions in this process. Let people share their ideas because sharing information aids employee growth. Encourage employees to engage in open discussions on a public platform where they can share their perspectives on a variety of topics and learn from one another's experiences. If needed, management can monitor these discussions and act as mentors. Managers should ensure that sufficient resources are set aside for in-house or outsourced training, team building activities, seminars, or conferences that will contribute to employee development. Managers who provide plenty of opportunity for employees to grow and improve will build thriving teams.
