Three
Tips
for Talent Retention
& Team Building
(without the
touchy-feely stuff that annoys so many leaders
who are trying to
stay focused on the business during change)
1. The first
part of successful talent retention is being sure that you have hired the right people in the first place.
Today, more than ever before, wrong hires can cripple your organization. Make sure that your team leaders and
managers have the latest recruitment and interviewing techniques.
These interviewing strategies will be invaluable for other aspects of their managerial roles, such
as performance management, coaching and
diversity.
2. The next part of successful talent retention is paying attention to
anything that disturbs the status quo. Team building is the first casualty, which immediately impacts customers,
followed by suppliers, shareholders and everyone else in the value chain. All respond differently to changes in the
"way things were." A strong proactive talent retention and team building strategy will ensure your organization's
customers, productivity and human capital are all protected even during the most stressful and turbulent
times.
Spend your energies and resources getting your teams ready
for those high stress talent retention predictables ... instead of getting constantly stuck in reactive fire-fight
mode. Leverage change as your biggest team
building opportunity.
3. Incorporate creative
processes and tools in your talent retention and team building deliverables to counter-balance today's high stress
world of work. For executive strategic planning sessions and team building
events and workshops, CRG is known for out-of-the-box
concepts such as:
Amazing
Race
The
Apprentice
Smarter Than 5th Grader?
Survivor
Millionaire
Fear Factor
Pyramid
Jeopardy
Arrange your own facilities and venue, or use our
professional event planning service to handle all the administrative details that contribute to a great
off-site.
These optional themes (loosely based on current reality
TV programs) keep sessions upbeat during stressful change, while producing pragmatic team building results that
meet your bottom-line talent retention objectives and goals.
