Talent Management
The better the alignment between people's goals and those of the company, the higher the likelihood of achieving outstanding results together. The number of studies focusing on the influence of corporate purpose on employee retention, turnover, and productivity is growing daily. Research indicates that a clearly defined purpose aligned with employees' individual values has positive effects on job satisfaction and engagement.
However, this fundamentally positive message also has its downsides.
What if the employees or the leaders are not even aware of the match or mismatch?
Sure, on the one hand, it's possible that you might leave high performance to chance or not be able to showcase what you're passionate about because you're stuck in a role that has nothing to do with your life goals. Often, people escape to another company or seek meaning in tasks outside of work (such as hobbies, clubs, etc.). In the latter case, workplace performance tends to be below average due to a "going through the motions" attitude, and people often suffer in such situations.
Therefore, it's important to cultivate an open feedback culture and have a clear understanding of talent distribution within your company. This allows for targeted, individual development or specific adjustments in recruiting to address these issues.
Structured talent management systems assist in the targeted development of your employees.
A good overview is achieved at the organizational level with a talent management system. We would be happy to help you implement tried and tested systems. What is most important, however, is the empowerment of the organization and the cultural change in dealing with these instruments.
People feel judged very quickly and do not immediately see the added value of transparent documentation of development discussions between employees and superiors. That's why it's important to pick up people there and work on a personal level.
“Sensitivity” and leadership responsibility must be given priority in the management team. We would be happy to support you with targeted coaching or mentoring for managers, as well as training concepts for the onboarding of employees.
The competition for top talent will continue to intensify, making it increasingly challenging to find and/or retain employees. The better and more transparent your understanding of people's skills and ambitions, the more effectively you can shape and support their development.
