1. Employ an approriate selection process for the position and do not compromise on the standards expected from the matrix decided on. Your initial investment, in all aspects of the process should pay dividends, rather than provide future difficulties.
2. Having selected the right candidate for the position, it is then the companies duty to ensure that they have been made very clear on the role and responsibilities, through professional induction. Included at this stage should be the achievements required to progress to the next level. Having the career path and requirements made clear, make establishing assessment criteria much easier and transparency provides ownership.
3. Recognise all good works with constructive feedback on either a fixed program of review or by each contribution. Reward contributions that will clearly be used to achieve the overall goals of the company.
4. Encourage productivity by all of the above, and with well considered and appropriate team building exercises that promote corporate as well as individual enthusiasm and effort, towards a positive outcome.

In my personal experience, the best way to invest in an employee like me is a three steps process.
1. Identify which employee (e.g me) most fit for which position or new responsibility. Talk with that candidate and get a common perspective between the boss and the staff about that, i.e convince him that the new responsibility is something doable etc... Contrary to what a lot of them like to behave, many talents dont like to promise something when they are not personally sure they can do it. Empty promise is just hot airs. So you need to point out that just how this new duty is doable for a staff of that level with a bit more efforts.
.
2. Identify and excute steps to facilitate for that employee to start taking on that new responsibility. Like, if you want him to take on new duties, you give him training, either personal or outside training, you give him compensation (financial or position), etc... You just dont say: here is your new additional duty, now do it, or else. And while financial compensation is nice, sometimes it is not entirely essential. You probbably say: next year we will have a new opening at department head's level, you need to excel at this duty and that to have a chance in the race.
.
3. Monitor his/her progress closely. Not a generic hot-air question like "hey, is your job progressing okay?" but "man, your result on the last negotiation round sucks! Losing your cool while they baited you is not pro, okay. Icy, icy..." The best investment always seem to be personal attention.
.
That's the way my old department head groomed her replacements. Chose two, gave them duties and follow closely for 18 months. Actually, she chose 4 but 2 fallen out of the race in the first 6 month. It's a bit too exhausting but that way the infighting in the dep. was limited to the minimal level.-

The best way is to define who should be invested first, then how.
Motivating, regconizing, coaching, engaging, talking, chatting, listening to, and even going out with them is investing your time, your love, your trust to your employee, not only money can work. In this Social Media period, transperency is the best policy.
Should you wanna a great ROI when investing into your people, listen to their needs before doing anything else.

What:
Training is the best investment in People Development and Retention. The right employee training, development and education, at the right time, provides big payoffs for the employer in increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and contribution. Training doesn’t mean you attend traditional classroom training. Instead coaching, providing feedback and mentoring, take center stage nowadays.
According to “Learning and Development Roundtable 2003 Employee Development”, Employees of Managers Who Excel at Employee Development Significantly Outperform their Peers by 25%.How:
These are the most impact actions that the managers take to develop their staff+ Ensure projects provide learning
+ Explain performance evaluation standards
+ Provide experiences that develop
+ ssess development progress
+ Help find training
+ Feedback on personality strengths
+ Create IDPsProcess:
For provide feedback, the manager should focus on SBI (situation, behavior and impact of such behavior). Vietnamese managers tend to personalize their feedback, therefore, most feedbacks are not productive, nor the employees push back
For provide coaching, the manager focus on GROW as its name. The manager have to agree with staff about the common GOAL, its REALITY up to the moment the coaching session happens, what OPPORTUNITIES/OPTION that the employee can do or do differently, and the WILL to do it.
Baring in mind that, providing feedback and coaching needs to be done on regular basis, not wait until the performance review because if you do it later, you can’t change the behavior, the attitude which lead to the bad results.-

The best way to invest into your employees, or your kids/ or partner or any relationship is TIME.
Your time is so precious and limited, when you spend quality time with someone, that means you give that someone a part of you life. Understand this concept, you, as THE GIVER, also need to make use of that time to the full. Several tips that you can consider:
- When you are with someone, BE w them (your mind don't flying around with other matter)
- Listen and show that you care (isn't it the whole objective of the time spending?)
- Don't spend too much time w someone and then don't in touch w them for a long time. Shorter but more frequent is better.I used to thing that money, or promotion or nice gift ect is more important. They ARE important (don't get me wrong) but with a bit of time and authentic caring, you can still have magic relationship with people that is important to you including your employee.
You may say "but I'm so busy". My answer is "that's event better". Because then people would know how much you value them when spending your very valuable time w them. Cheers and have fun!

Sau khi xem qua rất nhiều câu trả lời của các thành viên, trước tiên, tôi có nhận xét sau: hầu hết các câu trả lời của các bạn bị lạc đề. Nếu các bạn đi thi và Brian Tracy là giám khảo thì các bạn đã bị "fail" rồi. Có ai lại đi "vote" cho người bị "fail" không nhỉ...?
Hãy phân tích câu hỏi để có câu trả lời chính xác nhất:
- "the best way" # the ways : nghĩa là cách tốt nhất (duy nhất) ..chỉ 1 cách thôi không phải 2 hay nhiều hơn.
- "invest" : đầu tư
- "the employees" : những nhân viên - không phân biệt giới tính, hoàn cảnh, tính cách, màu da, văn hoá ..
Nghĩa của câu hỏi: "1 cách tốt nhất để đầu tư vào nhân viên là gì?" (cách này phù hợp cho tất cả mọi nhân viên).
Trả lời: Lợi nhuận của Doanh nghiệp, những điều lớn lao trong kinh doanh không thể được thực hiện bởi 1 người mà phải có "nhiều người", "nhiều người" này chính là "nhân viên". Vậy là việc đầu tư vào nhân viên là thật sự cần thiết để có được sự phát triển của Doanh nghiệp.
- Có nhiều cách đầu tư và nhân viên, nhưng "cách tốt nhất" là "đầu tư xây dựng niềm tin" về Doanh nghiệp trong tiềm thức của nhân viên.
- "Đầu tư xây dựng niềm tin Doanh nghiệp" như một phương tiện hướng tới tương lai, mang lại sự phát triển bền vững cho Doanh nghiệp. Có "niềm tin với Doanh nghiệp", nhân viên sẽ toàn tâm, toàn ý dịch vụ khách hàng, gia tăng hiệu suất và chất lượng công việc, điều đó không những tạo ra "Lợi nhuận" cho Doanh nghiệp mà quan trọng hơn là tạo ra "thương hiệu" cho Doanh nghiệp. Doanh nghiệp có "lợi nhuận", nhân viên có thu nhập cao. Ví dụ: nhân viên của Google thu nhập bình quân 1 năm là : 141.000 USD cùng nhiều chính sách ưu đãi rất đặc biệt. Doanh nghiệp có "thương hiệu", nhân viên có "thương hiệu". Ví dụ: Ai cũng biết đến Đỗ Đức Cường - cha đẻ của máy rút tiền tự động (ATM), đã từng làm việc cho Citi Bank 20 năm.
- "Doanh nghiệp" - "nhân viên" : mối quan hệ tương hỗ, bền chặt, đôi bên cùng có lợi. Có ai lại không muốn có 1 mối quan hệ như vậy không chứ?
Như vậy, việc "đầu tư xây dựng niềm tin Doanh nghiệp" là cách tốt nhất đầu tư vào nhân viên.
Bạn có cách nào tốt hơn không? Nếu có hãy chia sẻ với mọi người. Nếu không hãy "vote" cho tôi để thể hiện chính kiến của bạn chứ không phải vì "Ticket $600 tham dự buổi nói chuyện của Brian Tracy"-

Investment is a tricky game, especially when it has to do with human, in this case, the employees. Conventionally, it is considered that an employee’s performance is driven by many factors, namely: benefits & compensation, environment, company’s culture, etc…To invest in an employee means that the employers accept to take the risk and its rewards. There is no certain way to ensure that after a huge investment in your employees, they will remain staying at your company regardless what might go wrong. Consequently, we must define core objectives in investing employees by asking ourselves: what type of investment are we investing in? Long-term or short-term ones? What do we want in return from our investment? To which extent? How are we going to do that? Lastly, how do we ensure that the employee will stay with us after the investment?
Due to the length of this answer, I will only concern about the last part, which is how to retain the employee, because the issue plays a significant role in this investment’s success. Truthfully, it is quite uneasy to control people’s minds and wills. However, as an old saying has said: Where there is a will, there is a way.
To retain a qualified employee, a company must inspire and give the employee chances of continuous improvement. Progression is the key successful factor. It is likely that an employee would want to stay at a place, where they can see themselves grow with the company in positive terms. Therefore, a company that can show their willingness in giving people opportunities in learning new things is the one that can hold a better chance to flourish their investment.
In short, the best way to invest in your employee is to understand clearly what you really want from your employee after the investment and to know how to retain them after the investment.-
