CHROs: Request an Invite to our Annual BigHR Event (Always sold out!)

Give your recruiters the amunition they need to sell your opportunity (2 of 5)

Uncategorized Jun 14, 2022
 

With over 40% of the workforce quitting to start their own business or take a sabbatical, your recruiters and HR teams need to be able to "sell" the opportunity at your organization.

In today's vlog, we discuss what hiring leaders can do to give the talent acquisition team what they need to attract the best talent.

Take time to sell your recruiter on the role. You are not only competing against other companies but also for the recruiters time internally.  When recruiters love their hiring leaders and the opportunity, they excited to recruit and that energy is passed along to the candidates!

Also help them understand why this is a great job! 

Let me know what you are doing to make your positions standout?

Enjoy, Cindy Lu

What's your value proposition to the candidate? (1 of 5)

Uncategorized Jun 13, 2022
 

Finding top talent with everything you are looking for is tough. And quite frankly, if they have everything you are looking for why would they take a lateral position? They are going to be ready for a promotion.

The more flexible you are on your requirements, the better chance you will have of finding employees with what I call an "AAA" (Attitude, Aptitude and Appreciation) charm . They have a great attitude, they have aptitude or "runway" and they are so appreciative of the opportunity!

In my experience, those with "AAA" charm are the ones that out perform those with just a "great resume".

In today's vlog we share an example of how to broaden your pipeline of candidates by reducing the "must have" hard skills.

Summary of HBR’s paper: 11 Trends That Will Shape The Work in 2022 and Beyond

Uncategorized Apr 06, 2022

Here is a summary of HBR’s paper: 11 Trends That Will Shape The Work in 2022 and Beyond

 

“We’ve been living through the greatest workplace disruption in generations and the level of volatility will not slow down in 2022. New Covid variants will continue to emerge and may cause workplaces to temporarily go remote again. Hybrid work will create more unevenness around where, when, and how much different employees are working. Many employees will be greeted with real wage cuts as annual compensation increases fall behind inflation. These realities will be layered on top of longer-term technological transformation, continued DE&I journeys, and ongoing political disruption and uncertainty.”

 

  1. Fairness and Equity (issues around flexible work, location/comp, comp for new vs existing, yees with no kids) 
  2. Employers not adopting vaccine mandate (employers feel it’s not their role, fears of turn-over and court challenges)
  3. War for knowledge...

Pramukh Jeyathilak, Head of HR for London Stock Exchange Group on 5 Behaviors of Fast Growth Companies

business strategy culture Mar 01, 2022
 

Has the BIG QUIT got you worried about business growth?  Is increasing compensation really the answer long-term?

When people leave it’s not always because they have a bad boss but more often for the promise of more career opportunities.

Being part of a winning team means an abundance of career paths, high-caliber peers, and feeling of making and impact…

Fast growth organizations are like magnets to talented employees

Nothing provides better opportunities than a company that is growing rapidly. 

And when HR leaders switch their mindset that “HR is a cost center'' to “HR is a business driver”, employees, shareholders and customers benefit.

What are the behaviors of companies that have rapid growth?

Check out this weeks Vlog* post when Pramukh Jeyathilak, Head of Human Resources at LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) and prior head of HR for Fidelity Investments share his personal observations of the behaviors and mindset of rapid growth...

Summary of HBR article People Before Strategy: A New Role for the CHRO

Uncategorized Feb 07, 2022
This 2015  HBR Article
 
 People Before Strategy: A New Role for the CHRO was written ahead of its time AND Now I think it’s time to share this again with all CEOs.
This article states a lot of hard truths that have not changed much since 2015 and need to be circulated again. The authors have some great recommendations based on their own experiences BUT, I do have one contrarian point of view. And that is CEOs, you don’t have 3 years to get this CHRO partnership right. I think you know I am right.
Please share with your CEO friends!
Knowing CEOs typically skim, here’s my skim “cut and paste” exerpts for busy execs...
“CEOs know that they depend on their company’s human resources to achieve success. Businesses don’t create value; people do. ……
CEOs ... rank HR as only the eighth or ninth most important function in a company ...
CEOs might complain that their CHROs are too bogged down...

Uncategorized Feb 01, 2022
 

I don't have to tell you that retaining talent is critical to your organizations livelihood and all the programs we put in place will be on shaky ground without proper job leveling or job architecture. 

Job leveling provides the organization a foundation for equity, a framework for performance and pay while giving leaders of people the clarity and tools for meaningful career discussions with their staff.
