It was reported in People Management today (21st September 2010) that the World of Work Report 2010 (a report compiled by Ranstad and based on 2500 responses from employers and employees), concluded that half of employees felt that their skills were being underutilised by employers.
The report also concluded that there was a mismatch in perceptions between employers and employees about what factors motivated staff: Employers felt that motivation was driven by benefits, brand and culture, whereas employees felt that remuneration, training, development, career planning and flexible working conditions were the drivers.
Although many staff had up-skilled in order to cover additional responsibilities during the downturn, they still felt that employers were not tapping into those skills, and about 10% of them were minded to move jobs if something more attractive came up.
Head of Randstad UK said it was important for organisations to correct the differences in perception or risk losing talented people.
This backs up what I am about to say regarding the reasons for coaching and the benefits to be gained from it and will also tie in with my earlier article on Staff Retention: Ten Top Tips on Staff Retention.docx
