Development matters more than ever. For your business and for your people.

Demand for talent is higher than supply, while turnover continues to rise. Attraction and retention are critical to get right. For this reason, development matters more than ever. For your business and for your people.

People development that is clear, focused, and linked to career opportunities is not only vital for attracting and retaining strong talent. It also keeps your people engaged and their growth aligned to your future workforce planning.

Drawing on The Smarty Train’s award-winning work in attraction and development, our 2022 People Development Whitepaper explores how a Development Value Proposition™ (DVP) can help you make and deliver a clear, focused and strategic development promise to your people.

Our DVP Whitepaper Includes:

  • Why You Should Articulate Your Development Offering

    How to ensure that your talent knows what they’re going to get from you in development, and that you know what you’re giving.

  • What A DVP Can Do

    How a strong Development Value Proposition enables you to add value to your internal and external stakeholders, boosting your ability to focus on the right people in your organisation.

  • Your DVP Journey

    How to get started building your own Development Value Proposition, end-to-end.
