Encourage growth and development. Encouraging growth and development is really providing opportunities to learn. When we give opportunities to our employees, we send the message that we value them and are willing to invest time, effort and sometimes money into their development. As managers, we should foster an environment of learning. Here are some ways you're able to provide learning opportunities for your employees. Develop a peer mentorship process, use your internal training department.

Send your employee online to another department to learn something new. Start a Book of the Month Club where your employees read on company time a few pages at a time. Use your team meetings is the venue for Team learning. Send your employees to seminars if your budget allows. A good approach is to create a menu of opportunities for your employees to learn. Remember that learning styles vary among adults.

Therefore try different approaches.
