Workplace culture changes with the seasons, and it’s at its peak during the fall as teams are motivated to reach their full potential. Here are a few reasons autumn is the perfect time to prioritize staff development:
School is in session
With autumn comes a new school year! Summer can be a bit chaotic because team members with children are juggling work obligations and transporting their children to and from summer activities and ensuring they have childcare.
Working parents don’t have a spare moment during summer break, so when their lives slow down with a new school year, they can give more energy to their professional roles. A new school year feels like a fresh start for working parents, and they typically feel more motivated to meet/exceed performance expectations. There is no better time to invest in staff development than when your team members are motivated to reach their full potential!
Everyone’s returned from summer vacation
Q1 & Q2 can be brutal, so summer vacations are always restful and rejuvenating. Whether team members have children or not, they likely use PTO over the summer to catch up on sleep, spend time with family and friends, or go on much-needed vacations.
When team members return from their long-awaited getaways, they’re ready to jump back into their roles and tackle new challenges. Offering new growth opportunities while morale is high is a great way to develop your team members as we near 2025!
Planning for the new year starts now
Planning and creating goals for the new year can be exciting, as it creates a clear roadmap for where you are as an organization and where you want to be. Most organizations begin strategizing for the new year in Q3 & Q4.
As your teams begin planning for 2025, it’s the perfect time to invest in additional training that will enable your teams to reach their individual and organizational goals. Will these new goals require the adoption of new skills? New processes and technologies? Prioritize staff development this fall for a successful 2025!
