Since the L.E.A.D. Survey began, there has been a clear preference for employees to stay with their current employers, rather than move elsewhere for professional development and career advancement.<\/p>\n
Reaching a peak of 87% in 2009, the percentage of employees who would prefer to stay where they are in order\u00a0to develop has stayed consistently high. The 2013 Survey shows a similarly high level of desire\u00a0 \u2013 83% of employees would prefer to advance their careers with their current organisation.<\/p>\n
However, the 25% gap between the 83% who would like to develop with their current<\/strong> organisation and the 58% who believe this is possible<\/strong> is significant. Closing this gap, through the creation of opportunities is essential to retain quality staff and avoid costly turnover.<\/p>\n
