Do you know which of your workers really are talented?What are the forces holding or repelling your best people in

each unit?What percent of your best talent is vulnerable to poaching

How is that percentage changing over time?Where are your key areas of talent instability?

Who are your best managers of talented people?How skilled are your managers at retaining their talented

people?Who is poaching your key talent?

What outside forces are seducing people away from your business?

What internal forces are pushing good people away from your business?

Talented people join good brands and then they leave poor managers

Page 5: Talent Retention that Works

If having talented people is important to your business

Shouldn’t you be giving your managers detailed, specific knowledge about what they’re doing well or badly about

managing talent?

Shouldn’t you train your managers to be more alert and skilled?

Shouldn’t you nurture the talent management skills of your leaders?

Of course your answer is yes to all of these issues but you are under pressure

to deliver all kinds of results and the fact is that the few talent retention tools

you have aren’t specific, aren’t trackable and aren’t working.

Summary Talent Engagement Factors

Organisational Push Factors:

How your business & management actively undermines the engagement of good employees.

Factors include, inappropriate boundaries between employees and the organisation and the degree to which talented employees can find personal fulfillment in their careers.

Plus talented employees demand to work in Teams that reflect their personal values – get this wrong and they’ll be gone

Summary Talent Engagement Factors

Talent Magnetism The talent “stickiness” of your organisation.

Once talent is engaged, these factors underscore the value employees experience in their careers.

Examples include the degree of personal-organisation values alignment, and the degree to which talented people are excited by membership of productive teams. Also how prestigious is your brand? Can people be proud of their employer?

Summary Talent Engagement Factors

Talent Investment and Development:

To what extent your talented people feel you are investing in their growth. High potential employees develop, through formal and informal training opportunities and stretch activities.

This factor also measures the degree to which talent is celebrated and recognized in the organisation. Examples include formally recognizing achievement, and the extent to which talent is developed through emphasizing the impact it makes on an organisation’s success.

Summary Talent Engagement Factors

Independence Your talented employees want to function more autonomously than most, and they require independence and freedom from being managed.

This factor includes elements such as the freedom from micro-management and the ability to choose one’s own way of working within the organisation.

Four tools for effective talent management

1. Talent AssessmentAssess your people to spot the

talent and the potential hidden across your business. Talent is not the same as performance – it is defined according to your business vision and values as well as individual performance

2. Online Talent Engagement Survey

Use our online Talent Engagement Survey every eight months to discover and track your disengagement risks, by companies, divisions and managers

3. Manager as Talent Firewall - - Training

Use the data to train your managers how to defend the organisation against unnecessary talent loss. Use the evidence to provide managers with the motivation, knowledge and the specific skills they need

4. Online Exit SurveyUse our Online Exit Survey to

track and learn from every person who leaves, to find out the truth about why you lost them and to provide a laser specific source of data for action and training

Page 19: Talent Retention that Works

And the cost?

The total annual cost to use all four elements together across your whole business is less

that the cost of losing one senior, talented person!

Use this process company-wide to manage your talent retention risk and to save

millions!
