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:
