When you hire great people, despite your efforts to meet all their career goals, they will eventually move on as new opportunities arise. A new article from Quartz at Work<\/a> asks, “Who says talent development has to stop when an employee moves on?”<\/p>\n

The growth of corporate alumni programs is evidence that companies realize that employees are valuable even after they leave. As the article points out, “[n]ow, former employees are viewed as customers, brand ambassadors, sources of referrals, and even future employees.” By investing in a formal way to engage employees for life, companies will benefit down the road.<\/p>\n

Here’s an attention-grabbing statistic about the ROI attributable to alumni relations. Justin Manly, a managing director at BCG who heads the company’s alumni program states “BCG calculates that when an alum is involved in a new client engagement with a guaranteed fee, it’s 40% more lucrative than projects without that connection.”<\/p>\n

Corporate alumni programs are good for the participants, too. PeoplePath’s founder and Co-CEO Tony Audino says there are four main reasons ex-employees join alumni programs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. advancing their careers via networking and job postings,<\/li>\n
  2. reconnecting with old friends and colleagues,<\/li>\n
  3. getting discounts on products and services, and<\/li>\n
  4. participating in philanthropic programs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With a small investment, companies that address those objectives can cultivate a community of engaged alumni with an affinity for their former employers.<\/p>\n

    As the job market grows more competitive, corporate alumni programs can help attract top talent and develop business opportunities with former employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
