If you have been concerned about how your company can compete
for key talent now and in the future, it is imperative to sit down with
the business leader and discuss the need to develop a compelling talent strategy.
An effective talent and workforce strategy must have more than an
endorsement from the CEO. In other words, developing and implementing a
competitive and effective talent strategy for the purpose of optimizing
your workforce must be an initiative that comes from the top of an
organization. Without stakeholder alignment no talent strategy can
sustain the test of time.
With four generations in the workforce, emerging industries on the
rise, senior level leaders on the verge of retirement or redeployment
and a whole new generation entering the workforce, every company who
relies on people to deliver a service needs to be working on building
competent hiring practices, creating employee development programs and establishing competitive employee retention strategies.
While these are all elements of an effective talent strategy they are
not the only important factors. Workforce optimization requires a
comprehensive holistic approach that includes metrics and measurement in
key areas of concern – employee retention ratios and hiring
effectiveness ratings, from both the hiring manager and the new
employee.
Our consultants empower you to take a new look at your people, talent and workforce processes, new hire on-boarding, employee development and workforce retention. We work with you to address the major barrier to an effective talent strategy – employee turnover. If retaining employees in key roles is an issue for your company, we work with you to uncover critical issues that affect your company’s ability to attract and keep good people. When it comes to the cost of employee turnover and the impact that it has on your company’s ability to achieve your strategic objectives, we dig into your talent equity and tenure equity ratios and work with you to understand the impact these ratios have on the organization.
We apply a strategic organizational development approach to assessing your company’s talent and workforce strategy needs and work with you and your stakeholders to incorporate a talent mindset. Some of the first areas we analyze in our organizational assessment is employee alignment, personnel, team effectiveness, and management all critical components of an effective talent strategy and workforce optimization.
