On Keeping the Team You Already Have: New Benefits Employers Could Offer Their Current Teams, Making Them Want to Stay.
Such a terrific article from The Wall Street Journal today.
💡 Five thought leaders contributed to share their hyper-current insights on People and Talent.
While many organizations scramble to hire, spending more on fresh entrants, left out of this frenzy is a strategy to embrace and retain those who said 'YES' years ago.
👉 Here are my Top Five Take-Aways:
🎯 1. Your Management Team + Leaders Must Be More Proactive, Engaged, Accountable
Dorie Clark authored ' The Long Game' to help companies lead more powerfully with increased confidence, starting with #PeopleStrategies
🎯 2. Teams Have a Strong Role in Determining Compensation, Bonuses, et al.
Before you run, check out the insights from Keith Ferrazzi as he shares how teams are more reliant on each other than ever in their quest for success.
His new book, 'Competing in the New World Order' releases on February 15.
🎯 3. Grey Collar Strategy! I jumped up and applauded here in my home office as I read this out loud. Laurie Ruettimann has nailed this topic as she leads from the front line of #HR.
As companies struggle to attract the latest generation - I've lost track...time to brush up on X,Y,Zs! 😱- Her plan includes business strategy to revamp your treatment, attraction and retention for these crucial employees. They hold years of experience, valued insights, proven perseverance, deep relationships and industry expertise, yet are often taken for granted, or worse, ignored in your Talent and People Strategies.
Be sure to pick up her latest book, 'Betting On You'.
🎯 4. Better Time Off. Note it doesn't merely say 'More'.
Flexibility and delight are key to keeping your current staff at ease, appreciative and more productive. Be sure to follow Laszlo Bock, author of 'Work Rules', former leader at Google and currently leading the charge at Humu.
🎯 5. Offer more than a Holiday Party. As Donald Sull, Researcher and Tech Strategist at MIT Sloan School of Management shares, leaning on a one-off event is less effective than creating a culture of micro-celebrations, unexpected events and a culture where appreciation + community are demonstrated with increased frequency. Follow Mr. Sull for a steady stream of insider info on leadership. His LinkedIn is brimming with his work and an intro to myriad subject matter experts.
I am confident you have other ideas and new strategies and solutions. Be sure to share them below.
