Talentiser’s Post

Before we help Personio and 7people ✨ roll out the red carpet this September, we are still waiting for your nominations for the People Oscars of the year. As jury members for Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding we know 2024 has showcased some serious awesomeness: - Oatly inspired everyone with funny job descriptions and dito content - HEMA’s CTO looked at tech hiring upside down (literally!) - Mews took talent ambassadorship to a new level with Matthijs Welle nailing his personal impact on hiring - And Tommy Thomassen uses his amazing hyper-personalized candidate experiences to positively impact ‘good’ companies. The real question is: who are we missing? Who should take home this prestigious price in your opinion? What employer was able to do things differently - and made their business stand out from the crowd? We're looking for nominees in all five categories, but especially in Employer Branding and Talent Acquisition 🔥 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗲r: https://lnkd.in/eZmUAJbs

By celebrating service anniversaries with physical and symbolic awards, you can cultivate a more engaged and loyal workforce. Recognizing employees on their service anniversaries can significantly boost retention rates. In fact, organizations that implement structured service recognition programs experience a 31% reduction in voluntary turnover compared to those that do not.

Didn’t attend POSSIBLE in 2024? We have you covered. Aside from the impactful thought leadership coming from our main stages, we also had candid conversations with industry leaders about compelling industry trends and insights in The POSSIBLE Studio (presented by Infillion and hosted by Digiday). Take a moment to check out Digiday’s Michael Burgi’s impactful conversation with Seth Dallaire (EVP & CRO, Walmart). The two spoke candidly about the launch of a new capability with the Walmart Luminate product, which showcases an insights activation.

I have been the Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Corporate and Employee Benefits for exactly 100 days today.   It’s been an exciting journey loaded with different emotions.   But the most overwhelming emotion I’ve felt in the past couple of months is that of gratitude – gratitude for being the first black female CEO in the Discovery Limited Group, and for being given such a huge responsibility; gratitude for the incredible executive team and broader team that I am partnering with; and gratitude for the opportunity to build and shape a business that I have no doubt will be part of Discovery’s growth story.   The Corporate and Employee Benefits (CEB) business is the newest business unit within the Discovery Group, but it is already a very important part of the organisation. Our vision is to be a pivotal force in South Africa’s growth story, enabling people and business to thrive.   What excites me the most is that we’ve spent the past 100 days truly understanding what employers want and how best to provide what employees need to cope with the current state of the world we operate in and the challenging economic times.   Once we knew what our clients wanted, we looked at our business’ needs. We focused on our own people within the CEB team and making sure that we had all the right skills in place because, without the right team, you can't possibly be expected to play your best game.   I’m confident now that – at 100 days - we are where we need to be not only to get the job done but also to play a bigger and important role in our economy and in our country.   We are now at a point where we can see the architecture that we’d drawn on paper coming to life. I am so excited about all the things we are going to do in the next 100 days and beyond.   The video interview which is included in this post features an excellent discussion between myself and Discovery’s Chief People Officer, Zimkhitha Saungweme, in which I share some of the paramount moments and challenges experienced in my first 100 days as CEO of the CEB division. I am grateful to Zim, for her kindness and willingness to sit with me and reflect.   Please share your thoughts and comments with me below – let me know if anything in our discussion resonated strongly with you at all.   #NewJob #Growth #Future #100Days

During my talks to CEO Groups, I typically ask the members if they remember who was named TIME Magazine's Person of the Year in 2006. Most don't know, while others guess. No matter who they name, they are correct because everyone who was alive got the nod that year. I then ask them if they have this distinction listed on their LinkedIn Profile under Honors & Awards, and as you might imagine, most people do not. I let them know; however, that if they check my profile, they will find it listed. Did I do it alone? No, but no one who was ever named TIME Magazine's Person of the Year did it alone either. They all had help. We're here to help and serve each other in this world which is what #peerinfluence, #peeradvantage, and #Peernovation are all about. We work together to create something larger than ourselves. In that spirit, it may be time to make an addition to the Honors & Awards section of your profile.

YOU write your own story—so make it a good one. That’s one of the powerful messages Priyanka Gill (Venture Partner, Kalaari Capital) shared during her keynote at HerRising 2024. This event, hosted by HerKey—a CXXO portfolio company—is India’s largest in-person conference and online career fair for women, creating a platform to inspire, empower, and uplift women leaders.

Networking is a superpower, and it’s okay to ask for support as you grow. 💡Big Dreams, Small Steps: Break down your big goals into small, manageable tasks. It’s all about making consistent progress and keeping track of it. 💡Gratitude as a Game-Changer: End your day by reflecting on what made you happy. This simple practice keeps you grounded and helps you focus on the positive. 💡Happiness is in Your Hands: We have the power to choose happiness. It’s a mindset we can actively cultivate, no matter the challenges we face. 💡Own Your Story: Each of us has the power to write our own story and achieve our dreams.
