Career development remains a top reason employees give for joining an organization and, unfortunately, it’s a top reason people give for leaving. But to limit development to the realm of retention or recruitment strategies undermines its power and fails to take into account the range of benefits associated with helping others grow.

In the spirit of the season – and to lighten your summer reading load – we’ve created an infographic that summarizes some of what career development can deliver and four principles at the root of positive and sustainable development. (Thanks to graphics guru, LaRay Gates, for this clever design.)

I’d love your feedback. Happy (light) reading!
