Here are a few ways you can measure your individual effectiveness and consider what to do to improve.

What are the biggest time wasters while trying to get work done? Here is a handful that we are all guilty of:

  • Multitasking

Coaching and Development for New Leaders

August 23, 2022

The leaders of tomorrow are out there. The goal is to find, coach, and cultivate them as early as possible in their careers. So how can you determine someone’s potential as a leader, and what are the next steps to take to reach their full potential? Here are leadership skills to look for, how to focus on development, and plan for assessments that test their skills and abilities.

Some people are born leaders. Others work very hard to achieve their skills to lead teams and people. It doesn’t matter where someone has developed their skills, but how they use them is more important. Some of the common traits of strong leaders include:

NEED GREAT EXECUTIVE TALENT? HERE’S HOW TO GET YOUR UNFAIR SHARE!

Kristi Stepp / July 7, 2022

Finding top executive talent takes time, money, and energy. While you expect them to bring their skills and experience to the table, they also have expectations from you and your company. What do you need to offer executive candidates to get them onboard and keep them in a tough job market?

Remember, the impression you give of your current employment culture, your team, and what you can offer will significantly impact the quality of candidates you can hire.

 Here are just a few things executive talent will want from you.

CREATE A SILVER LINING BY OFFERING OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES

May 25, 2022

If they leave with good experiences, they may refer talent and even serve as brand ambassadors. Some may even become your best clients. If they leave with poor experiences, however, they can cause great damage to your brand.

There are times when talented employees no longer fit roles in your organization or when layoffs are needed. These situations are necessary, but never pleasant. It is important to consider what happens in the aftermath of these employee separations. Might there be a way to make their career transitions easier? 

While you’re under no specific obligation, providing outplacement services can create a “silver lining” for your company and for departing employees. L

POOR JOB OF ON-BOARDING DURING THE PANDEMIC? CONSIDER RE-BOARDING!

May 25, 2022

The pandemic has changed so much in the world of work. At the beginning of 2020, many organizations moved to fully remote workplaces, and we now regard that as entirely normal. Now, as you may be considering in-office or hybrid workspaces, it’s important to reflect on the experience of your new hires over the last two years because their feedback now brings data that will inform your practices in talent acquisition and retention moving forward.

Did you do a great job of onboarding, or was it lackluster or non-existent? This could be a great time to reboard some of your employees. Reboarding is the opportunity to refresh your employees on who you are as a culture, how you add value to your clients and how to “get it done” in our new hybrid world.
