Turn your young talent into your most valuable asset.
In this episode of Young Talent, Big Value, Siven Maslamoney, Portfolio Manager for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth at Yellowwoods Ventures, offers expert insights on behaviour change interventions for young talent. He discusses common behavioural gaps in young employees and how employers can better support their development.
Siven argues that traditional training is often insufficient, emphasising that behaviour change involves not just skills, but also socialisation and environmental factors. He stresses the critical role of frontline managers in shaping young employees' development and highlights the importance of creating a supportive, fear-free environment. Siven challenges employers to see young talent as valuable assets, not problems to be solved.
