Regardless of the myriad reasons given at exit interviews, your valued employees take their knowledge, skills and experience to your competitors for basically two reasons. One, employees resign because they perceive that their boss has poor leadership and managerial qualities and two, employees leave because they don't have confidence in their career opportunities within your organization. The first problem can be resolved by the application of Executive Coaching. The second problem can be resolved by the introduction of a Professional Renewal & Development Process.

Matteson Consulting Group has recognized that although employees realize that they are responsible for their careers, they are not sure as to what proactive steps to take and perhaps, even more importantly, they misunderstand how they can expand their careers within their current organization.

The purpose of the Professional Renewal & Development Process is to

• Provide an impetus to employees to take control of their careers and achieve professional fulfillment within your organization
• Have an energized workforce that understands the value that they bring and that your organization is an optimal place to expand their skills
• Use Career Satisfaction as an additional tool to help align employees with your organizational goals and strategies
• Retain key talent

Professional Renewal & Development is a process whereby individuals

• Take stock of their skills, interests, motivators and competencies
• Understand their individual "Development Profile"
• Learn strategies and tactics to expand their capabilities and their career
• Prepare a Professional Development Career Action Plan that will focus on enhancing skills, behaviors and competencies
• Become better equipped to hold a Personal Development Discussion with supervisors and other appropriate parties within your organization

Bringing employees' career aspirations into alignment with your organizational needs results in a motivated workforce that creates synergy by improving themselves and your organization at the same time.
