Employee Retention - Building the Employer Brand

Image source

Is this the greatest business challenge of the next thirty years?

For years we have been told that the greatest business differentiator is the quality of the people we employee. Sure, this is important, but is it the greatest differentiator? After all aren’t there plenty of others that are at least as important - innovation, scale, efficiency, quality …

But now, there are several universal trends that indicate ‘people’ will almost certainly be the most important differentiator for the next few decades, and the reason is simple – scarcity.

The western world and to some extent the developing world will find it increasingly difficult to find employees. Those organisations that compete effectively for labour will thrive and those that don’t will disappear. The labour market will become increasingly competitive as employers position themselves to attract and then retain the people they need.

The GFC was nothing more than a temporary distraction from this on-going issue. The trends across all of the western world and much of the developing world are the same:

1) Lower birth rates

2) People living longer

3) A shortage of skilled labour

4) Greater work mobility

So what are the implications?

The psychology of change management

Companies can transform the attitudes and behavior of their employees by applying psychological breakthroughs that explain why people think and act as they do.

Could this be used to encourage Responsible Leadership?

Over the past 15 or so years, programs to improve corporate organisational performance have become increasingly common. Yet they are notoriously difficult to carry out. Success depends on persuading hundreds or thousands of groups and individuals to change the way they work, a transformation people will accept only if they can be persuaded to think differently about their jobs. In effect, CEOs must alter the mind-sets of their employees—no easy task.

CEOs could make things easier for themselves if, before embarking on complex performance-improvement programs, they determined the extent of the change required to achieve the business outcomes they seek. Broadly speaking, they can choose among three levels of change. On the most straightforward level, companies act directly to achieve outcomes, without having to change the way people work; one example would be divesting noncore assets to focus on the core business. On the next level of complexity, employees may need to adjust their practices or to adopt new ones in line with their existing mind-sets in order to reach, say, a new bottom-line target. An already "lean" company might, for instance, encourage its staff to look for new ways to reduce waste, or a company committed to innovation might form relationships with academics to increase the flow of ideas into the organization and hence the flow of new products into the market.
