A corporate lattice instead of a ladder

“When people are allowed to explore their personal goals -- whether they want to travel the globe or pursue another degree -- they tend to be happier at work. That's why the best employers try to facilitate employees' personal pursuits without thwarting professional goals.”

This great study by Cathy Benko and Anne Weisberg of Deloitte Review titled
Mass Career Customization - Building the Corporate Lattice Organization truly addresses many of the issues facing both people/employees and companies today. People evolve constantly and are at a different place in their life while employed and it behooves a company to recognize, appreciate and address that in providing opportunities for their workforce. Doing so in our opinion will help companies prosper because they will build trust and loyalty within their team. Building loyalty and increasing retention will help your organization find greater depth in creative problem solving and afford your company the opportunity of truly 'developing' its workforce. If you continuously have high levels of turnover, you will never get past teaching your people the 'basics' of their job. Experiencing that high turnover stymies the creative juices so necessary to drive a company forward.

Enjoy the article and until next time….
