#22 - Leverage your Employees

How do you upskill your team when you are a small business, fewer than 100 people?

Let your employees lead the way. Ask them informally during conversations where they feel they are in their own development. Get their perspective.

✏️ Would learning advanced Excel skills help them be more productive in their day?

✏️Do they feel confident in their ability to manage a Zoom meeting as a host?

✏️When working on SOPs, would some skills managing long Word documents help them complete them in record time?

Too often leadership feels their role is to figure out what skills need to be addressed when they have resources literally in their own ranks.

Asking your employees what they need in terms of their own professional development literally costs nothing yet will allow you to gain critical insight on the next stages to establish a learning plan that meets the needs of your workforce.
