The Great Resignation is evidence of how willing these new generational cohorts are to leave their jobs for other opportunities. As workers grappled with a global pandemic, high-pressure work and a move to remote, many resigned. **A SOLUTION TO EMPLOYEE GROWTH AND RETENTION?** To better address the needs of Gen Z and millennials in the workforce, companies are increasingly leaning on Learning & Development as agents of employee engagement and retention. Promoting a culture of learning that leverages subject matter experts to create and share knowledge is paramount to self-development and growth.

Fewer employees will leave if they feel cared for by your company through learning and development opportunities that are relevant and valuable to them. 2. The ones that *do* stay will be happier and more productive employees.   There is only so much that People leaders can control. One thing is for sure though: by investing in solutions that support their employees’ whole selves and aspirations for growth, companies are not only investing in their employees but are also investing in their own future.
