Talent Suite, LLC

Does it ever feel like your company is the only one struggling through your particular issues? Chances are, you’re not alone. These are four of the most common challenges we’re seeing from our clients. Do any sound familiar to you? 💬 “We can’t find the talent we need.”  💬 “My team is not gelling or performing at the level I want.”  💬 “Our leaders and managers aren’t effective enough.”  💬 “We’re not able to hold on to our highest performers.” In many ways, your organization is unique. But in other ways, people problems like these are universal. And if you don’t solve the root of these issues, it’s likely that you’ll continue to see them crop up time after time. Are you ready to get off the treadmill of issues and start working toward a real resolution? Talent Suite can help. #peopleproblems #peopleandculture #management

Is your team struggling to hire in this environment? It’s never been easy to gauge whether someone is a good fit for a particular role, and today’s competitive job market isn’t helping. So what can you do? ❌ Stop rushing. Too often, we see people in a hurry to fill a role without understanding why it’s vacant. Have you had troubles keeping the role filled? Was the departure sudden? Often, we say “All roads lead back to the manager.” In many cases, replacing someone is treating the symptom, not the problem. But even if there’s no management issue, it can be easy to panic about a vacancy — whether your team is overwhelmed or someone has just left — and act too quickly, throwing up a post on LinkedIn or Indeed before you even consider next steps. We work with our clients to slow down and think about recruitment strategies, what the best candidate might look like and what kind of culture fit you require. Does your hiring process need revamped? Let’s talk about how Talent Suite can help. #hiring #retention #peopleandculture

How often have you said, “I don’t have time to deal with that” lately? ⌛️ Sure, time is important. But for a business leader, how you spend that time is often a reflection of your values, priorities and leadership style. So if you or your leaders have been telling staff members “I don’t have time” when they come to you with an issue, it’s a recipe for making it clear to your team that you think other things are more important, which can lead to culture issues and a lack of productivity. How SHOULD you be spending your time? What message are you sending by your decisions on how to spend it? Check out our blog on why you might be hurting your culture without realizing it. 🔗 https://loom.ly/zic0NAE #timemanagement #leadership #culture

“Managers form the bridge between leadership and the rest of the organization, which means they are often caught between employees’ and leaders’ expectations. During times of change, that’s a recipe for burnout.” At Talent Suite, we’ve been sounding the alarm for some time, and this Gallup article backs us up: middle managers are in crisis. 🚨 According to this piece, managers are more likely than non-managers to be: 🚩 disengaged at work 🚩 burned out 🚩 looking for a new job 🚩 feeling like their organization does not care about their wellbeing Teams need their managers to perform, and managers need support. That’s why our our Whole Leader program is designed to train middle managers by providing critical leadership skills in a high impact “learn, use, repeat” format. Are you ready to give your management the support they need? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gQe5xuA6 #managers #middlemanagers #training

At Talent Suite, we’re big believers in the importance of behavioral analytics, which help make workplace behaviors objective. But sometimes, clients — or even just colleagues — don’t see how they can make that behavioral data actionable. Often, they’ve used it for a moment, or just at the beginning of the hiring process, and have put it away. In that situation, of course it’s tough to make that data actionable. Making this data actionable is about committing to it and allowing it to inform your goals and actions. Here are three major red flags we see that prevent people from fully utilizing this data: 🚩 No transparency: If the data you’ve gathered stays with the leadership team, who doesn’t have the time or desire to share and implement it, it will never be able to make an impact. 🚩 No accountability: The benefits of behavioral analytics won’t be fully realized if an organization doesn’t commit to implementing them. This data isn’t just a one-off for hiring, it should be used for decisions, putting the right people in the right seats and retaining talent. 🚩 No planning: If you go into the process of implementing behavioral analytics without a plan for what you’ll use them for, it’s likely a waste. We help clients leverage this data to better reach their goals, understanding what they want to do and how they want to improve. Have you considered how your organization could benefit from behavioral analytics? Whether you’re new to the concept or have tried it in the past without seeing results, it might be time to consider proper implementation. #behavioralanalytics #datainsights #actionabledata

A recent Harvard Business Review piece really highlights something important that we work with our clients on. It’s easy to think that interviewing potential employees is all about that instant connection — the “click.” But have you considered why you click with some people and not others? Research shows that implicit bias drastically shapes hiring. It’s easier for us to connect with candidates who have similar backgrounds, credentials or perspectives to our own. But those similarities don’t make them the best candidate, and basing hiring decisions around them doesn’t lead to diverse teams. That’s why it’s critical to put in place objective, consistent hiring practices that help you understand why a client fits beyond that instant connection. Are you looking for a partner to help you build out a better interviewing strategy for your business? We’d love to help! #interviewing #candidates #interviewprocess

We cannot wait to share PI Perform with our clients! 🎉 We’ve talked a lot about how much we believe in The Predictive Index, and now they’re rolling out a new tool called PI Perform. This first-of-its-kind module integrates behavioral insights into the flow of work in an amazing way. This isn’t just about managing workflows or people — it’s about marrying the two in the same place. PI Perform puts leaders and middle managers in the driver’s seat any any given time, and allows executive leaders to feel like they’re in the room with them during decision-making by empowering them with the most important assets and information when they need it. We are looking forward to sharing more about the positive impact that PI Perform has on organizations we work with very soon! #predictiveindex #behavioralanalytics #behavioralinsights
