We recently came across this article in Forbes, which hit so many parts of our mission and how we serve our clients.
A Comprehensive Strategy For Attracting, Developing, And Retaining Talent
Stephen Kohler, the author, is an Executive Coach and CEO of Audira Labs.
Some of our key takeaways are:
- A focus on people has finally made most companies’ key strategies list
- People are seeking more meaning from their jobs
- Most sought-after companies these days offer both meaning and balance, thus creating an environment that prospective employees feel is their jam
- The best development programs simultaneously invest in employees’ futures while building leaders who take your organization into a bright future as well
- Invest in team connection, collaboration, and accountability. Team development takes everyone’s individual contributions to the next level and creates the space where magic can happen. Whether it is a team workshop or a facilitated discussion, teams do their best work when they regularly work on themselves.
- Your best teams are the same, and the “Great Resignation” led to losing key players who helped elevate everyone’s game [not to mention the costs associated with starting over with new people].
- it is critical to keep people inspired
- People are always the No. 1 responsibility of managers
- if you approach your people strategy as a one-and-done or check-the-box training, you will never develop the kind of culture that regularly and consistently delivers those chart-topping hits
We’d love to hear your feedback and insight on his strategy.
