Retaining Talent
Are you aiming to be a leader who goes beyond merely wanting more from your team to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, connected, and clear about their contribution to the company’s purpose?
The outcome of such an approach is a positive, healthy, and high performing organisation with enhanced communication and collaboration.
At Art of Coaching, we believe that a positive workplace culture is not just a nice-to-have; it is a prerequisite for success. Talent’s expectations have evolved, shifting from a focus solely on salary to a desire for belonging, connection, work-life balance, and learning opportunities. They seek workplaces with open and inclusive cultures. Now is the time to cultivate stronger teams and derive more value from your people. Let’s create a workplace where everyone not only wants to be but also wishes to stay longer.
Two Trends in the Market:
1. Talent Departures
According to the Randstad Risesmart 2023 Global Severance Research Report, it is crucial for organisations to focus on treating employees with extreme care, especially during periods of downsizing. Despite positive perceptions amongst HR and procurement professionals regarding downsizing actions, studies reveal severe negative impacts on remaining employees and the organisation’s brand. Redundancies, particularly those attributed to AI and automation, are highly sensitive and likely to elicit negative reactions.
Research from the American Psychological Association shows that being made redundant ranked as one of the most stressful life experiences, surpassing divorce, or the death of a close friend. Leadership IQ’s research indicates that after a single round of redundancies, 87% of remaining employees are less likely to recommend their organisation as a great place to work, 74% experience a decline in productivity, and 61% perceive their company’s prospects as worse.
Therefore, organisations must prioritise:
- Ethical and transparent communications
- Deep understanding of organisational dynamics
- Re-skilling and redeployment opportunities
- Providing fair support to displaced workers
Additionally, organisations must focus on bonding and belonging with employees to attract, motivate, and retain talent effectively. Failing to establish meaningful bonds with talent my result in disengagement, talent turnover, and damage to the organisation’s reputation.
2. Start-up Talent Attrition
An article in the Harvard Business Review by J. Daniel Kim explores why many start-up employees leave after my acquisition. The success of an acquisition often hinges on innovation and people. However, acquired employees often experience an abrupt shift from autonomy and quick decisions in a start-up to a different alignment of their contributions to the new company’s purpose and culture.
