SolutionWith the goal of increasing engagement and retention of junior bankers, Avion rolled out a multi-faceted leader development initiative focused on the development of senior bankers (at the VP, Director, and MD levels). This initiative extended through the course of the entire lifecycle of a first-year junior banker (Analyst or Associate). Quarterly small group coaching sessions focused on effective onboarding, goal-setting, feedback and coaching, mid-year reviews, career development, and year-end conversations. A pulse survey was used after each group coaching session to measure improvements in overall engagement, as well as leader effectiveness relative to practices taught during a given quarterly small group coaching session.
