You can use programs to develop soft skills & visibility thanks to sustainable initiatives & stretch assignments. This is a win-win situation as it develops soft skills all companies need!

For example, your Hipos programs & Leadership programs can incorporate sustainable content (project, training, etc…) and focus on building a sustainable leadership

Develop some of the following programs to ensure your employees and managers' growth and development:

• Mentoring: one more senior employee share his/her expertise and knowledge with a more junior employee (reverse mentoring is the other way round and helps leadership to gather insights and experience from the younger worksforce)
• Reverse mentoring: the employee shares his/her experience, point of view, etc... to more senior leaders to help them get a better understanding of what they are currently experiencing in the company
• Sponsoring: one leader speaks for a younger employee in the organization to help him/her gain visibility.
• Coaching: in house or external coaching helps individuals and managers to solve challenges they are facing and develop themselves longer term with greater impact
• Championing: one person acts as a champion for a cause or initiative in the organization, driving the visibility and progresses
• Employee resources groups: where employees focus on a particular topic (green team, inclusion, women, minorities, etc...)
• Set up Talent projects and assignments where a group of high potential and committed employees work together towards finding a solution in an innovative and collaborative way.
