To be successful in growing your team and developing talent you will need to address public relations, marketing, social media messaging, job descriptions, work schedules, on-boarding process, training, reviews, team building and knowledge transfer.
Here is the litmus test to see if we can help you – what would happen if you were to tell a new young employee “Jump!”. What would this new person say and do in response?
Older experienced Gen X team members in their 40’s and early 50’s and Baby Boomers in their late 50’s and 60’s will quickly respond with “How high?”.
A millennial or freshly graduated Gen Z person will respond with a puzzled look followed by “Why?”.
If the reason for this difference is not clear to you and your leaders, we should meet to explore how you can establish a healthy talent development process for your company.
