Episode description

This week we’re revisiting an old adage: The employer who says, ‘What if we train our people and they leave?’ And the trainer who says, ‘What if we don't and they stay?’

As Talent Development Manager for Kew Green Hotels, Clare Sheppard knows all about this. She’s responsible for helping those who want to stay progress in their careers, while giving those who leave a great experience that they can carry with them into their next role.

We discuss:

·       the types of colleague who fall into the ‘Early Careers’ bucket (it’s broader than you might think!)

·       how to identify high potential colleagues

·       the role of managers in supporting Early Careers professionals.

In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Clare discussed the likelihood of it raining, and what that means.

Ross recommended (sort of) an old episode of The Magic Roundabout.
