For this morning’s light dip into HR, leadership and management, we’re looking at Mercer’s global insights for this year and it’s all about partnership.
‘People no longer want to work for a company, they want to work with a company…Today ‘partnering’ over ‘leading’ might be a company’s biggest competitive advantage’.
What does this mean in practical terms?
- Where do you sit within someone’s career journey and how do you actively enhance the time they spend with you?
- What career moves are open to them? Will they need to move on to get the experience or stretch they’re looking for or will you retain their talent and experience by creating a pathway that excites them?
- Ask yourself questions about where they sit in the wider picture and how they help to achieve the purpose of the business.
- When objective-setting for the next year, ask where they will be heading and what your role is. Do they need work experience in another department or on a different project? How flexible can you be?
Loyalty and identity play a huge role, so what are you doing to leverage them?
Have a great day
