Some 36 percent of U.S. workers plan to leave their jobs within the next year (WorkHuman) including 70 percent of Gen Z & Millennials (Linkedin). A lack of career growth options is one of the leading reasons why employees leave their organizations today, even though 59 percent of today’s organizations cite career development as a primary objective of their training programs and 67 percent hope that such training drives employee engagement.

Find out what you can do to create a more viable career development program that will address the needs of every worker to get ahead in his or her careers. Hear best practices, including how EBSCOlearning has cracked the code on this topic to create career advancement for its 5,000 employees that has resulted in average employee tenure of 10 years and a 65% employee engagement rate—both more than twice the national average—and how your organization can do the same!
