Development Program
Flexible and scalable professional development for all employees.
The Least Engaged Employee Segment? The Middle.
Organizations are facing an employee engagement crisis, and the biggest concern lies with middle employees—those with three to five years at the organization and fewer than ten years of experience. This group is the least likely to be engaged due to uncertainty over their career paths, making them most likely to leave in search of new opportunities. To tackle these engagement challenges, companies need to invest in development efforts that directly grow critical middle employees, who make up the largest employee segment.
Flex Your Way is a modern employee development solution that helps organizations make affordable investments in their people, most importantly, those residing in the middle. The Flex Your Way portfolio covers the most impactful parts of the employee journey and helps employees take ownership of their career through self-paced digital learning, group coaching, and 1:1 coaching.

The Positive Impact of Employee Development
Flexible Development for Any Employee

Employees crave development, and feedback is one of the most valuable and impactful tools for growth. Though feedback is a gift, it often remains underutilized and unappreciated. To evolve their performance management practices, companies need to move away from annual review cycles and move towards embracing a culture of ongoing feedback.
