Human capital is every business’s greatest resource. Which is why attracting and retaining talent is critical to a company’s success. While salary and benefits are important, emerging Millennial leaders often prioritize personal growth and purpose over compensation. In fact, a comprehensive, global survey of employees and HR leaders by Reed Consulting revealed that one of the top reasons for employee attrition is lack of opportunities for personal and career development.
The ability to think strategically is one of the most important leadership traits you can have. It also makes you a highly effective leader. A 2013 Management Research Group (MRG) study found that strategic thinking was the most important leadership quality to perceptions of “success” and “effectiveness” in the workplace — twice as important as communication.
One of the toughest things to do is persuade others to follow your lead when you’re not their direct manager. And yet, having influence can be an indicator of leadership potential. It can also help you work your way up to manager. Which is why it’s the fourth most requested focus area among nearly 10,000 participants in Everwise’s mentoring program.

Tech is one of the fastest-growing industries in America, yet why aren’t there more women in the sector? Despite dedicated efforts to educate and train women in tech, female representation in tech has been declining steadily since the 1990s. Today, only 20 percent of all tech jobs are held by women, despite the fact that women make up half the overall workforce.
Earlier this month, motivating employees close to retirement surfaced as one of the most popular topics in the Everwise user community of Learning & Development (L&D) professionals and learners. That’s not surprising–employees approaching the traditional age of retirement of 65 are one of the fastest growing segments of the workforce. Approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers have reached this stage every single day since 2011.

A mentorship is often thought of as a close relationship between a young professional and a more senior person who can help the mentee grow and achieve his or her career goals. While that’s certainly true, mentorships are also a great way for more experienced individuals to step in and train new employees, bridging the skills gap so that people can start contributing as soon as possible.
Skilled managers have never been more critical to the success of organizations than they are today. They attract candidates, drive employee performance, engagement and retention, and play a key role in maximizing employees’ contribution to the company. But most managers don’t actually have what it takes to be truly effective. And most organizations do not invest appropriately in developing their frontline managers.
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the awareness of and the ability to regulate one’s own emotions and tune in to others. And according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report , it will be one of the top 10 job skills in 2020. Companies are placing a premium on this skill because emotionally intelligent employees can handle pressure, understand and cooperate with others, listen and respond well, set an example for others and are more open to feedback, more empathetic and better decision-
Imagine an employee has put in his or her time in a position, so much so that they’ve become a pretty skilled and valued employee. And as a result, that employee receives positive feedback. There’s just one problem: the manager hasn’t acknowledged the employee is capable of doing so much more than the work he or she is currently tasked with. That employee is ready for more, ready to tackle different and higher-level projects.
Mentoring programs are a powerful way to engage and retain top employees, especially millennials. Especially as the competition for talent continues to intensify, companies would do well do strengthen their mentoring programs. Studies show that emerging leaders prioritize personal growth and purpose over their paychecks. Now the largest generation in the U.S., millennials have a desire to work for companies that do more than offer cushy compensation and flexible vacation time.
While many companies have bespoke training programs, sometimes management and company leaders don’t have adequate time or resources to teach communication techniques and other soft skills that are crucial to success in the workplace. With the world’s largest community of mentors, Everwise can help companies fill this gap. We’ve helped companies of all sizes create successful mentoring programs that can lead to stronger employee retention and engagement and help win over millennials.
Learning and development today isn’t just about giving your people the best content (although that certainly helps). Context matters, too. For really effective learning, employees need to be involved in and inspired by their own development. That’s why we designed a solution, named a “Top HR Product of 2016” by HR Executive , that keeps your workforce connected to the best people and resources they need to thrive.

Presenting a project proposal to the executive team for the first time can be a frightening prospect. You may feel confident in the work that you’ve done but nervous about conveying the ideas effectively and succinctly. After all, if you are presenting to busy executives, there’s pressure to not only make your point but to make the best use of their time as well.
Mentorship is a powerful tool that can help rapidly-scaling businesses keep their people learning, motivated and engaged during times of growth and transition. Kiabi Carson, the head of North American human resources for Turner and Townsend, an international consulting firm, knows this all too well. In her role, Kiabi is responsible for setting HR strategy and is accountable for the full scope of HR functions across the rapidly expanding region.
Many of us want to be better leaders, or be prepared to lead. And we know intelligence is essential for successful leadership. But which type of intelligence should be our guide? Last century’s dominant measure, IQ? A combination of Gardner’s nine types of intelligence laid out in the ‘80s? Of the various types of intelligence, Emotional intelligence (EI, also called EQ) has recently been linked to successful leadership.
National Teaching Day is a great time to celebrate the contributions of not just teachers who taught us in school, but to express appreciation for the valuable lessons received from workplace mentors. Teachers and mentors both play a crucial role in our personal development. They provide plenty of teachable moments, from telling us it’s okay to make mistakes to teaching us how important it is to take risks.
Organizations of all sizes are seeing a greater need for learning and development (L&D). According to the 2017 Training Industry Report , spending on training climbed nearly 33% to $90.6 billion in the U.S. last year. And with good reason, L&D programs help support critical business objectives, from top-line growth to ongoing employee development.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay and it’s changing every aspect of how a business functions, including HR. These days, making a good impression with a prospective employer requires more than just a great résumé and pleasant personality. Today, potential talent have to first make it past machines that are being used to screen and identify the right people to help create more diverse, empathetic and dynamic workplaces.
Recently we asked Everwise experts in team management to respond to questions from the community. The conversation ranged from managing teams to the challenges of both high- and low-performing direct reports. Thanks to the following mentors for providing their insights to the challenges the community brought to the conversation: Don Fuss , Director of Marketing and Sales, PwC.
Earlier this month, Everwise hosted a popular webinar on “Employee Onboarding Done Right” with Kathi Enderes, Former Senior Director of Organizational Effectiveness at Kaiser Permanente. A human resources executive with over 20 years of global experience in talent, performance and change management for companies ranging from Fortune 50s to start-ups, Kathi has a passion for unlocking organizational and employee potential through effective use of technology.
There’s a lot of value in networking with someone higher up the ranks, but there’s just as much to be said for cultivating relationships with your peers. Fostering connections with people your own age, sometimes called “horizontal networking,” can be just as beneficial. Becoming friendly with people who are at the same career stage you are can be helpful now and down the road.
In today’s competitive environment, organizations must rapidly innovate and change to ensure they can keep their position in the marketplace. One of the biggest L&D challenges is delivering high-quality manager development programs that develop and empower managers across an enterprise to do just that. This was the primary challenge that Unum , the leading provider of financial protection benefits in the US and UK, faced in creating a manager development program for its 10,000 employees.
Leveraging Feedback for Better Decision Making. Good decision making is critical at any stage of a career. But it’s not easy to master. We are faced with tons of decisions every day. Sometimes, it’s important to act quickly, while at other times it’s necessary to gather feedback and give the matter more thoughtful consideration. It’s no secret that feedback is an important asset in the workplace.

Facilitating Social Learning. The future of employee learning and development is social, collaborative and ongoing. People are much more likely to learn if they can easily recall the information and apply it to their day-to-day jobs. Having the ability to apply that knowledge to what someone does every day is the best way to turn knowledge into capability.
Engaging Men in the Conversation about Women. It’s no secret that companies with diverse leadership teams and inclusive cultures perform better. And yet, despite an all-time commitment to gender diversity, women continue to be underrepresented at all levels in organizations of all sizes across all sectors. According to the Women in the Workplace Report from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org, women face hurdles on every rung of the corporate ladder.
Building an Effective Manager Development Program. Last month, Everwise hosted a popular webinar on “Effective Manager Development at Scale” with Kim Bolton, Program Director, Leadership Development at Unum Group. A specialist in leadership and talent development, Kim creates systems that help talent reach their maximum potential, fosters an environment of trust and positivity and encourages leadership mentoring.
“Put your head down, work hard, and you’ll be promoted.” Odds are, if you’re a woman, you’ve heard this oft-repeated aphorism about how to get ahead in the workplace. Perhaps, as you started out your career, you even believed it. Yet the rise of #MeToo movement this fall has made clear what women have long suspected (or, in many cases, known): workplace success is tied not only to what we do, but to who we are.
Transitioning into a managerial role comes with a host of challenges and opportunities. For women, the challenges can be particularly acute since leadership positions are still primarily dominated by men. In technology, women in management must often blaze entirely new paths for themselves, as they account for only 9% of management positions. We asked three women leaders in technology to share with up and coming leaders what they wish they knew about transitioning into leadership positions: Mir
Learning and development programs are as varied as companies themselves, but there’s one feature that encompasses most of the effective talent management strategies: mentors. Across many industries, mentoring has been shown to produce solid business outcomes. When implementing or modifying your company’s L&D program, mentoring is one of the best ways to boost employee engagement, create strong leaders for your company and even keep turnover costs in check.
How to Design a Women’s Development Program. Last month, Everwise hosted a popular webinar on “Designing a Women’s Development Program” with Kelly Simmons, a Solution Architect at the Center for Creative Leadership. A specialist in applying systems thinking to organizational, team and individual leadership development , Kelly has merged a solution-focused approach with learning and development, culture change, coaching and facilitation to engage organizations to meet the wide range of situations
So you’ve finally found a mentor or a mentee who you think is a great fit. You’ve been meeting for several months. How do you know that your partnership is actually working? And what do you do if you suspect it might be time to find a different mentor or mentee? While every relationship is different, a pattern has emerged for us as we’ve run hundreds of mentoring partnerships.
