How to grow and keep your brightest and best
Finding an experienced engineer, retaining an inspirational IT leader or hanging on to a high potential technician is a huge challenge for organisations today.
This case study explores how an organisation employing thousands of experienced, skilled construction engineers tackled the problems of losing their best people to the competition through a re-invention of their approach to performance management.
Instead of treating recognised talent as a secret to be kept from the individuals themselves, a new, open and practical approach has enabled senior leaders to bring the next generation through by engaging honestly with employees. Making clear who is ready for a bigger challenge and identifying what development others may need before they can step up, has been a cultural shift that has brought big benefits.
The new approach has changed ownership of performance from managers to employees, driven by a process that puts self-reflection at the heart of the performance conversation. Radical simplifying of assessed competencies, four easily understood steps to describe readiness for the next challenge, and an organisation-wide drama based programme has engaged the entire workforce to think differently about performance and talent. It’s hardly surprising that the best people now want to stick around.
