Management Alert: Employee Crisis Affecting Profits

Management Alert: Employee Crisis Affecting Profit- Dig deep enough into any industry and you'll find that organizations with best practices in employee retention and development are characteristically the most competitive and most profitable. So why do those companies who struggle to compete find it so difficult?

People Leave Bosses, Not Companies

According to extensive research from the authors of "First, Break All The Rules", [people/employees] do not leave primarily for monetary reasons as a motivation. They leave their bosses. What a blow for any who have been bosses with staff who left because of them.

To find the focal issue, we need to pose the inquiry, "yet for what reason do they leave?" so, the terrible news is that poor employing rehearses start starting from the top, and the supervisors are not being created to the following degree of their improvement. The uplifting news is there are answers for each.

Organizational Capacity and Competitive Edge. How important is all this? According to the late, great business expert Peter Drucker, "Of all the decisions an executive makes, none is as important as the decision about people because they determine the performance capacity of the organization."

Assuming this to be correct then decisions about people should be treated as the priority they are, and nothing less.

Is Top Talent The Priority It Should Be For You? 

If we were to do a post-mortem on any company, we would find that hiring and development practices determine retention, and retention determines the competitive edge. For the most part, it's just that simple. Naturally, there are other factors to be considered, but these are central issues.

Since these best practices begin with management, and most importantly, leadership, let's ask the tough questions for your organization: 

1. Have your managers been assessed for their strengths and weaknesses? Are they being developed by anyone inside or outside of the organization? If you asked what they would do differently over the past year, would they have a clear answer - one that would pass muster with say a Jack Welch? 

2. How does your current management identify and recruit top talent? How do they develop the talent they currently have? Is this a symptom of what they've been shown from their leadership?

Pulling It All Together For Profitability

Using assessments for both existing employees to improve development and new hires for recruiting has become a very practical means to achieve the best decisions for management priorities which include hiring, a development that leads to greater retention, business growth, and ultimately, profitability.

Determining the "right fit" for the job, the corporate culture, and even with the employee-boss connection is critical for success.

The most significant case of something to be evaluated for pioneers, the board, and in any event, for specific sorts of recently recruited employees are very much communicated by Jack Welch, Chairman of General Electric (GE), "A pioneer's insight must have a compelling passionate segment. He must have elevated levels of mindfulness, development, and discretion. She should have the option to withstand the warmth, handle mishaps, and when those fortunate minutes emerge, appreciate accomplishment with equivalent pieces of euphoria and modesty. Most likely enthusiastic knowledge is more uncommon than book smarts, however, my experience says that it is in reality more significant taking shape of a pioneer. You can't overlook it."

In my experience of assisting clients with hiring decisions, I typically find emotional intelligence to be one of the greatest determining factors for hiring decisions. With it, you can make the job-employee-boss connection with highly productive results. It indicates the capacity of an individual to perform effectively in a given role.
