Here’s how revamping HR strategy can elevate your business strategy and set you up for success: One part of our plan of action was implementing a Company “University” and an “Emerging Leader Program.” These initiatives were designed to cultivate leadership from within by providing comprehensive training for current and future leaders. This strategy ensured the organization a steady pipeline of highly capable internal leaders ready to step up and lead the company’s growth strategy.

My latest Forbes piece is about the importance of retaining your best people. Knowing how to retain and engage your people is one of the most important skills a leader can have. Because you know what is harder than retaining your best people? Replacing them!! - You need to be proactive. If you haven’t been checking in on how people are feeling…eek. - You need to enlist your team in helping you improve retention. No one can tackle it alone. Listen, learn, show appreciation, take action. - You likely don’t know the full truth about why people are looking outside and leaving. For example, we do listening tours for our clients so they can hear what is not being said and do something about it. What’s a tip you would add on how to retain your most valuable players? #employeeengagement #leadershipdevelopment #retention

What is the difference between HR Consulting and HR Outsourcing? I was asked this question again the other day, so I thought I would repost. The difference can dramatically change the amount you pay for services. HR consulting and HR outsourcing are two distinct services that organizations can use to manage their human resources. HR consulting involves hiring professionals who provide expert advice and support to organizations on human resources-related matters. They advise businesses on best practices for policies and procedures, employment law compliance, employee issues and risk management, benefits, and compensation. Many HR consultants specialize in leadership development as it relates to the #onboarding and training of new employees. On the other hand, #HR outsourcing refers to the practice of hiring an external company to manage some or all of an organization’s human resources functions. This involves contracting with a third-party provider to handle tasks that would traditionally be performed in-house by an organization’s HR department, such as processing new hire paperwork, payroll processing and benefits administration. While there may be some overlap between HR consulting and HR outsourcing services, they are fundamentally different in their approach and scope of services. #hrconsulting #hroutsourcing #Consultingvsoutsourcing

Looking to align your organization’s strategy, talent, culture, and leadership for optimal performance and growth? Here are four key questions to drive your next leadership retreat agenda. 🔹 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬? This set of questions sets the stage by identifying the core issues or obstacles that the organization must overcome. Identifying these challenges sets the stage for strategic planning, resource allocation, and informed decision-making. It helps in prioritizing areas that require immediate attention and resources. 🔹 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭:   𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥? Identify the skill sets and expertise required to conquer challenges. Different challenges may require different skill sets, expertise, and experiences. Let’s ensure we have the right team to tackle specific issues effectively. 🔹 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵, 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘦𝘴? 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴? This question emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and motivated to contribute their best. A positive and inclusive culture not only attracts candidates but also promotes employee engagement, productivity, and loyalty. 🔹 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?

Leadership sets the tone for the organization’s culture and plays a pivotal role in shaping employee behavior, engagement, and performance. #LeadershipRetreat #StrategicAlignment #ExecutiveTeam #TeamAlignment #OrganizationalAlignment #StrategicPlanning
