Mid-sized organizations are known to have fast-paced environments. Their rapid growth and hiring make these organizations attractive to many new employees. Sadly they also have a high turnover. Here are two common pitfalls in fast-paced organizations:
Pitfall 1: Low employee morale. Senior leaders readily link external customer satisfaction to increased revenue. But what about internal employee engagement? Remember that engaged employees are 2x more productive (Gallup study) and more productivity means better business. So focus on internal engagement.
Pitfall 2: Lack of interest in learning and development. When workload increases, employees’ self-interest, and curiosity dip. This situation worsens when training is shoved down employees’ throats. Providing fun, modern micro-learning that meets people in their workflow can help inspire them.
Leaders, ultimately, it’s in your hands to turn all the fast-paced craze into opportunities for fulfillment and growth for your employees.
