Description

Struggling to retain your building automation talent? 

In this episode of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast, we dive into how building automation companies can create effective career plans to improve retention, grow employee capabilities, and strengthen operational performance. 

Your people are your most valuable asset, but how often do you give them a clear, structured path forward? Most companies don’t and the best talent leaves. 

This episode explores how you can change that. 

Topics Covered 

  • Building a career architecture that aligns with technical roles 

  • Creating a measurable competency matrix for skill development 

  • Structuring 12-24 month individual development plans 

  • Linking training, mentoring, and shadowing to business KPIs 

  • Aligning pay bands and promotions with skills, not politics 

Tune in to learn how to build a workforce strategy that supports your employees and your bottom line.
