"Supporting internal development doesn't just boost retention and reduce churn, it helps businesses build confident, capable teams who understand the company, live its values and are ready to lead it into the future. At Chubb Fire & Security, we call this approach Building Great Leaders - our long-term commitment to helping people grow, wherever they are in the business. From apprenticeships and mentoring to personalised learning and internal mobility, we aim to equip every employee to take the next step in their career."
"According to LinkedIn's Workplace Learning Report 2025 1, career progression is the top motivation for learning, and organisations that are classified as "career development champions" - those with robust internal development programmes - tend to outperform others on key metrics like retention, engagement and internal mobility. A 2025 UK Government rapid review 2 found strong links between learning and development and improved employee engagement, retention, wellbeing and job satisfaction."
SMEs face a core hiring dilemma: recruit externally or develop existing staff. Talent market pressures, rising recruitment costs and tighter budgets make internal development more attractive. Supporting internal growth boosts retention, reduces churn, and creates confident, capable teams aligned with company values and prepared to lead. Chubb Fire & Security brands this as Building Great Leaders, offering apprenticeships, mentoring, personalised learning and internal mobility to help employees progress. Research shows career progression is the top motivation for learning, and organisations with strong development programmes outperform on retention, engagement and internal mobility. Smaller SME teams enable visibility, faster decisions and role flexibility around people.
