Create Great Employees: Employers Listen Up!

How To Create Great Employees:  It is The Invisible Economic
Strain In Our Workforce that you can change! In this Episode
Listen to Michelle Talk about this topic.  Create great
employees:   In a labor market that is at a historic low,
businesses are seeing a high rate of turnover and even ghosting in
the workplace.  It is a costly trend. Companies are seeing the
value in shifting how they train to retain their employees. 
It is far less expensive to invest in quality training.  A
community mindset work culture that promotes
employee retention is best; rather than continually training
new employees.  Also, this nurtured environment promotes
employee’s self-worth.  The end result is better work
engagement and deeper relationships with fellow colleagues. The
result is better morale, work productivity and lower employee
turnover rates! The positive workplace connections and better
knowledge base for the demands of their job has the potential for
big payoffs.  It is a benefit for the company in reduced
hiring costs as well. This creates a win-win scenario.
 Talks of expanding apprenticeship programs are on the rise.
In order for the efforts to be successful, it is important to
understand what challenges this group faces.  As a
result, this will ensure quality training for the companies that
want to train and hire them. According to research, there are
approximately 20 million college students who entered college in
the fall of 2018.  19.4% self-reported having a
disability.  This number has nearly doubled from 10 years ago
and the impact on the educational system has been
tremendous.   Colleges across the U.S. are developing
programs to meet the needs of these diverse students.  The
most prevalent disability is ADHD, a neurologically based disorder.
Of the students surveyed, 79% of the students who reported a
disability listed ADHD as their challenge. As these students enter
our workforce, it would be beneficial for us to help them
transition with strong skillsets.   Often, these
neurologically diverse groups need specific guidance and training.
Unfortunately,  skill sets may be assumed and overlooked for
the average employee. This invisible disability flies under
the radar and yet has a very impactful effect on job success.
