The best employee development practices start with hiring the right people in the first place – the people who share the firm’s values. Along the way, you’ll find people who don’t meet that standard: let them go sooner rather than later.
While that may sound harsh – maybe even the opposite of taking care of your people – careful hiring and disciplined termination are vital to building an organization where trust is highly valued. You're not showing respect to your employees if, through your inaction, they're forced to put up with co-workers who don't carry their own load or share the company’s values.
