Developing the Kept-On Workforce
During difficult economic times, companies that fail to engage an anxious workforce see productivity, quality, customer service and employee commitment fall away fast. Even those organizations that make strong efforts to engage their employees must continue to invest in talent development. Engagement is a long-term process, not an isolated program that sees people through a period of struggle.

The Kept-On Workforce Wants to See a Return On Its Loyalty Investment
Employees who survive layoffs, reorganizations, budget cuts, and hiring freezes aren’t satisfied with just hanging on. They want and need a meaningful future with satisfying career development opportunities. Dr. Beverly Kaye has built award-winning talent development systems with top organizations around the world. In her extensive experience, she’s learned that the survivors of the kept-on workforce remain productive, committed and creative only when they see long-term benefit to their efforts.
Kept-on workers know they’re talented and they know they’re the future of the organization. Yet, those valuable employees are ready to move on from an organization in transition (or an organization that has finally stabilized) unless they have good reasons to stay. They understand the reality of the contemporary employee-employer relationship, and they’re eager to sharpen their skills and hone their resumes to retool their careers. The kept-on workforce expects satisfying work, exciting growth and development opportunities, and on-going dialogue about their careers and contributions.
In trying times, few managers and leaders are focused on the valuable work of people development. Yet an organization’s future prosperity depends on management’s capacity to create a development culture – one that promotes individual ability over individual advancement; career resiliency over company reliance; and career empowerment over job entitlement. Organizations can maximize the contributions of all employees by providing them with skills, pathways for growth and learning, and the resources to increase their opportunities within the organization.
In this informative and interactive webinar, Beverly Kaye will lead us in a discussion of how organizations can establish or maintain development programs despite economic challenges, and how managers and line leaders can improve employee performance by satisfying development needs. In particular, we will discuss:
- The shortage factor – why the long-term need for talent, leadership and labor must be taken into account even during times of struggle
- The reciprocity clause – how the employee contract has evolved to become a two-way agreement leading to mutual benefit
- The satisfaction connection – how organizations that value people enough to develop them have lower turnover, higher engagement, higher productivity, and greater customer satisfaction, leading to better market performance
- The manager difference – how managers and line leaders can be more development-minded and better put into practice their own skills at building talent
Bring your challenges and questions to this seminar, and engage with Beverly on the critical issues that you face. Your fellow attendees and your own people will benefit from the ideas and strategies you take back to the office.
