Key Skills to Help Career Development

Career expert Rob Cross offers a great article that touches on the impact “energizers” can have on an organization, and how “de-energizers” can actually have an immense negative impact if not acknowledged and addressed.

Energizers are those that give more effort to a task that may not be particularly exciting, but they do so because someone infused the task with excitement. This is a great example of how effective leadership can help organizations grow, and how Pure Growth Consulting can help you and your organization.

De-energizers, on the other hand, tend to see obstacles and constraints throughout the tasks they are doing, and make it an effort to highlight flaws before the plan of action is even fully communicated. Unfortunately, these de-energizers have larger negative impact on the organization than energizers. As such, leadership can step in to help support these members. Pure Growth Consulting can be a great support to showcase how a growth mindset can help support your organizational growth.

HR can help with recruitment and hiring, performance management and reviews, employee retention, employee development and training, safety and wellness, benefits and payroll, effective communication and engagement, and leadership. Statistics show that HR has positive impacts on the organization.
