Do You Allow Your Employees Autonomy?

Employees need direction to:

1. Help them understand their role,
2. Accomplish objectives,
3. and Set goals for the future

Too much direction can be just as detrimental as too little and organizations risk losing key talent as a result.

Smart leaders recognize that there must be a balance between managerial control and Talent Autonomy — an employee’s ability to influence their own career path and pursue their own interests within the business.

Groundbreaking research conducted in a partnership with HCI and Risesmart looked at this very topic, and found that employees who are encouraged and supported in their efforts to find their own destiny in organizations are likely to experience:

• Higher levels of engagement, increased opportunities to assume a variety of roles across the organization effectively,
• The ability to develop their own skill sets.
• Most importantly, Employees who are given talent autonomy are more inclined to remain with their current organization,
  • helping strengthen leadership pipelines and
  • helping strengthen succession planning pools.

Attendees of this webcast will learn:

1. How Talent Autonomy is defined and practiced in organizations today
2. Innovative ways to support employee empowerment in your own business
3. How to determine what the primary challenges facing Talent Autonomy are, and how to best address them
