How specialisation has kept me here for 18 years • 3 month marker moment – how they took care of me • Career development received along the way • Once I was identified as a HIPO I always had a professional mentor within the company • Always challenged to do more • By focusing on our people it’s clear who we want in and who we want out of the organisation
What does it mean to truly • SPECIALISE • or focus on your people?
It’s beyond...... • Benefits Compensation Promotions Long Term Equity
It’s about... career development • Do they have EXPOSUREto the MD or CEO? • Can you say that every HIPO has a CAREER PLAN, 1/3/5 yrs? • Do people receive critical and honest FEEDBACK(the best want to get better)? • Do they receive STRETCH ASSIGNMENTSwhere they see how they are developing?
It’s about... their personal development Do you know them as INDIVIDUALS? Do you know their BELIEF SYSTEMS? What are their HOPES and DREAMS, house, car, family members? Why did they REALLY GET OUT OF BED today...
It’s about... mobility (what's next) Notice I did not say upward mobility? How LONGcan / do they wantto do the same job? Where do they WANT TO LIVE? Can they LEARNanother skill? (cross training)
It’s about... a mutually beneficial relationship MATCHINGthe individuals GOALS with the business goals...this must align This doesn't mean it can’t ebb and flow but as leaders we must monitor this. When it’s not a match, if handled well the exit can be more profitable than the existing relationship.
