Individuals get a lift from early experience in effective organizations

Employers who pay attention to organizational health, training, and internal advancement seem to propel people forward. Their employees are more likely to be upwardly mobile.

However, 80% of job changes involved people moving to new employers. This points to a missed opportunity. Workers increasingly feel empowered to move to employers that will give opportunities to gain new skills and move up. This calls for a renewed emphasis on coaching and designing internal career paths.
