More and more organizations recruit new talent to serve as a catalyst to raise the bar on talent and address the needs for the future. External talent strategy can typically provide benefits in 3 areas: (1) Elevate the culture (2) Address skill gaps. (2) Bring outside-in thinking. However, organizations are struggling to maximize the value their external talent can bring to the organization. 🔴 WHY? Eroding psychological safety! 🔴 Based on a study looking at 10K employees in large organizations, psychological safety erodes soon after joining and typically takes several years to recover. Ultimately, this hinders organizations from unlocking the value from investing in new hires. Let’s take steps to turn this statistic around and strategically leverage new hires to accelerate workforce transformation and build high performing teams for the FUTURE. HR, Leaders and New Hires - we can all take practical steps to help our new hires be the best version of themselves at work every day.

Psychological safety remains a critical yet often overlooked factor in onboarding success. Recent research from Harvard Business Review reveals a concerning trend: new hires experience a rapid decline in psychological safety shortly after joining. This phenomenon, rooted in the disconnect between expectations and reality, threatens innovation and productivity. To counter this, the article suggests: 1. Implementing targeted interpersonal skills training for leadership 2. Reframing workplace culture to value calculated risk-taking 3. Cultivating an environment where curiosity is rewarded Thoughts on how this impacts your onboarding strategies? #onboarding #psychologicalsafety https://lnkd.in/eTVakzsK

I love this article in Harvard Business Review on Why Employees Quit? Thank you Ethan Bernstein, Michael Horn, and Bob Moesta. In my role as the VP of Insights and Impact at Gloat, a leader in building what we call an agile workforce operating system (think a combination of AI, talent marketplaces, and skills analytics) we have seen first hand with leading companies and millions of employees their desire, well, simply for movement and growth and how powerful it is for companies and leaders to create compelling and actionable internal market to explore and navigate new experiences, roles, gigs, learning, networks and mentors. I love how this is described as "Four Quests for Progress -- ...we have found that they tend to cluster into four main quests. People who change jobs do so because they want to GET OUT of their current situation, REGAIN CONTROL of their work or lives, REGAIN ALIGNMENT between their work and their knowledge and capabilities, or TAKE THE NEXT STEP take in their careers." At Gloat our customers have put these ideas in motion and practice for remarkable results in terms of productivity, future adaptability, risk management and an employee experience giving employees insights and agency to explore, move, and contribute in new ways within and across their companies. An amazing win/ win. Thanks for the article. Read it. And call us Gloat. Columbia Business School

While most new employees are eager to learn, do a great job and make a difference, this can diminish quickly if we do not intentionally support them in their onboarding. Here is a great practical resource on how we, as leaders, can protect our new employees' psychological safety: framing the work as complex or uncertain clarifies the expectation that things might go wrong, asking questions and listening actively, and responding appreciatively when presented with ideas and /or mistakes. #psychologicalsafety #employeeengagement #insyncinsights

Value of Experience Dear #hr In the quest to reduce costs and improve efficiency, some organizations may opt to hire a high number of inexperienced staff. While this approach may seem like a cost-effective solution at first glance, the long-term implications can often outweigh the initial savings. Investing in experienced professionals brings a multitude of benefits that are essential for sustainable growth and success. 1. Expertise and Knowledge Transfer: Experienced employees bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. Their years of experience have equipped them with valuable insights and skills that are essential for tackling complex challenges and driving innovation. By nurturing a team of seasoned professionals, organizations can facilitate the transfer of knowledge and mentorship, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development. 2. Faster Adaptation and Decision-Making: Inexperienced staff members may require extensive training and guidance to become fully productive, leading to delays in project timelines and decision-making processes. On the other hand, experienced professionals can hit the ground running, leveraging their deep understanding of industry trends and best practices to make informed decisions swiftly. This agility is crucial in today's fast-paced business landscape. 3. Stability and Longevity: Employee turnover incurs various costs, including recruitment expenses, training time, and productivity losses. By investing in experienced professionals, organizations can reduce turnover rates and enhance employee retention. Experienced staff are more likely to remain committed to their roles, contributing to greater stability within the organization and fostering a positive work culture. 4. Strategic Vision and Leadership: Seasoned professionals often possess a strategic mindset and leadership qualities that are invaluable for guiding teams towards achieving long-term goals. Their industry insights, strategic thinking, and ability to mentor and inspire others play a crucial role in shaping the organization's vision and fostering a culture of excellence. This in no way means opportunities should not be given to newbies as a professional today was once a newbie. In essence, the synergy between experience and opportunity represents a powerful catalyst for driving organizational growth, fostering innovation, and nurturing a culture of continuous learning and development. By striking a delicate balance that honors the value of experience while creating pathways for newcomers to thrive, organizations can unlock the full potential of their diverse talent pool and pave the way for a dynamic and successful future. #experiencematters #talentacquisition #employeeretention #businesssuccess #leadershipdevelopment #ExperienceAndOpportunity #talentdevelopment #inclusiveculture #careergrowth #successmindset

In today’s competitive job market, retaining top talent is a strategic imperative for organizational success. Employee turnover not only incurs significant costs but also disrupts workflow and hampers team dynamics. To address this challenge, implementing effective talent retention strategies is paramount. Investing in professional development remains a perennial strategy. Offering #continuouslearning opportunities, mentorship programs, and career advancement avenues not only enhances employees’ skills but also reinforces their commitment to the organization. A comprehensive #benefits package, beyond competitive salaries, has enduring appeal. Health and wellness programs, retirement plans, and other perks contribute to overall job satisfaction. Moreover, providing a clear career path and growth opportunities demonstrates a commitment to employees’ long-term success. In essence, timeless talent retention best practices revolve around a combination of a positive #culture, continuous development, recognition, and comprehensive benefits. By incorporating these principles, organizations can create an environment where employees are not just retained but thrive in their professional journey. #Learn2Leap #SilentScripts

As I take a short break to help my daughter start the beginning of her school life, I can’t help but think about the future of work and what it will mean for her in this ever-changing world. The rise of technology and the shift towards skills-based organisations are reshaping our professional landscape. Our role in nurturing talent and embracing innovation will be crucial in shaping the future workforce that she will one day be a part of. Staying relevant, growing our skills, and repurposing our experiences are more important than ever. But, is the transition to skills-based organisations just hype, or are we witnessing the future of work? With 50% of employees needing reskilling by 2025 and 74% of organisations prioritising a skills-first approach, the urgency to adapt is clear. Traditional work models are becoming obsolete, and employees now seek flexibility and continuous learning. HR leaders must recognise that this shift is not just a trend but a strategic necessity. Embracing skills-based organisations can unlock the full potential of our workforce – now this is the type of talent transformation I want to be part of. What an exciting time to be working through this change. #FutureOfWork #HRLeadership #TalentDevelopment #Innovation

NURTURING THE BRAINS (#Read #ME up to the End) Is your interest to #fire and #hire? Is it #hiring, #nurturing, #retention, #valuing, #achieving your goals and #impacting on the community? How important is this organisational or institutional principle in the competitive corporate world today? Nurturing the brain is a phrase that suggests creating an environment that supports staff growth, development, retention and well-being of employees' intellectual abilities. In the organisation or institution: This emphasises that the focus shouldn't be on firing and hiring, but it should be on internal development and retention rather than external recruitment or hiring when you have adequate manpower within the organisation or institution. Remember, the failure of staff entails the failure leadership and vice versa. For the #benefit of the #organisation or institution: This clarifies that the ultimate goal is to enhance the organisation's performance, success, relevance and competitiveness by leveraging the collective knowledge and expertise of its employees. Without doubt, no donor would be willing to fund an organisation or institution that cannot bring the expected results or that doesn't impact on the community. Also, no door would be willing to support an organisation or institution that lacks integrity, transparency and accountability. Overall, this phrase suggests a commitment to: # Retention of rich expertise and experienced staff based on performance. # Employee development and growth # Knowledge sharing and collaboration # Internal talent development # Building a learning organisation # Driving organisational success through people development # Putting the house in order before hiring; hiring and nurturing staff. # Working closely with your staff and at times accompanying field staff to appreciate their work, their work environment and their expertise. I'm glad you are still reading! Nurturing the brains within an organisation/institution is essential for its growth, innovation, and success. It's a forward-thinking approach that recognises the value of investing in people, their skills, and their knowledge. By doing so, organisations or institutions can: # Foster a culture of continuous learning # Encourage innovation and creativity # Develop future leaders # Improve employee engagement and retention # Stay relevant and competitive in a rapidly changing environment It's a win-win approach that benefits both the organisation/institution and its employees. If you have any #questions or #topics you'd like to discuss, feel free to ask! #nurturingbrain #valuingstaff
