Acquired Philadelphia’s Post

Brutal tech cuts, McKinsey & Company version: Take nine months’ pay and bid farewell!

Here's some cash to sweeten the deal!" So, what's next for McKinsey? Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dK2CkdDG #layoffs #techlayoffs #industrytrends #jobcuts

Frankly Fridays - Tell me if you've heard this one before. (I bet you have(n't) In the pursuit of fiscal responsibility, many companies inadvertently limit their growth by solely fixating on budgets in their talent acquisition strategy. Case in point - external Talent Acquisition Investing in top-tier talent may seem like a financial stretch initially, but the long-term gains far outweigh the short-term expenses. 'What's top tier?' - 'What long-term gains?' This week I spoke with a candidate that saved their last employer $200m over a 5 year span. Let that sink in for a moment. This candidate's knowledge and passion for the lives they support and industry policy -saved- $200m. Que the 'We aren't looking for external support on this role.' Budgeting for 'hope' - hope in finding the right person. Hope is probably the poorest business plan there will ever be. Every candidate, every hire, has an ROI. From the certified tech new in town that has 5 years in automation (true story, great person.) To the director that's received awards for Part D implementation in their division. Talking. It costs nothing. But can generate a LOT of revenue. Share your thoughts! How can companies strike the right balance between budget constraints and the need for top-tier talent? #TalentAcquisition #revenuegenerating #StrategicInvestment #sourcerg #franklyfridayswithnate

Is Internal Equity causing employers to miss out on top talent AND drive their existing top performers to resign and go to the competition?   Two months ago, I asked executives to help us understand what Internal Equity really means.   We had amazing interaction and insights from the marketplace - thank you to all who contributed.   If you are not addressing this proactively, you may be losing talent AND preventing your company from attracting top external talent.    In a recent conversation with Michael "Tree" Cecere, we discussed the trends we are seeing in the marketplace:   - Decreasing tenure in full-time employees - Increasing compensation packages - Team member loyalty is not being rewarded   How are you and your company handling this opportunity?   #talent #compensation #InternalEquity #loyalty
