Junior Staff Development & Engagement

Our junior staff have high turnover and low engagement, threatening our future pipeline. Create a junior staff development program.

Include: (1) Current state – why are juniors leaving? (2) Career path clarity – what's progression to partnership? Timeline? (3) Mentoring & development – who mentors? How is it tracked? (4) Meaningful work – are they assigned to good projects? (5) Feedback & evaluation – regular feedback? Clear expectations? (6) Early identification – how do we identify and develop high-potential early?

Include junior staff development plan and mentoring framework. Show investment in junior talent.
