Stay and grow?

Since the L.E.A.D. Survey began, there has been a clear preference for employees to stay with their current employers, rather than move elsewhere for professional development and career advancement.

Reaching a peak of 87% in 2009, the percentage of employees who would prefer to stay where they are in order to develop has stayed consistently high. The 2013 Survey shows a similarly high level of desire  – 83% of employees would prefer to advance their careers with their current organisation.

However, the 25% gap between the 83% who would like to develop with their current organisation and the 58% who believe this is possible is significant. Closing this gap, through the creation of opportunities is essential to retain quality staff and avoid costly turnover.
