 Talent Acquisition

People are not your most

valuable asset ……..
The RIGHT people are

Jim Collins
To attract the RIGHT people we
need to offer them a unique
Employee Value Proposition
 TALENT
Realities :

 Educated VS Talented

 Talent is getting scarce

 Demand exceeds supply

 Beg the talent to join, paying painful salary

 Loyalty is portable

 Hire the fire

Retention Through
Employee
Engagement
Feeling “engaged” depends
on the “strength” of the
workplace not necessarily on
the corporate leadership

- Buckingham & Coffman, ‘First Break all the Rules’

The importance of feeling “ENGAGED”
 Companies do not retain people

 People decide to stay

 They decide to stay when they feel

“engaged”

 “Engaged” employees stay longer

 Feeling “Engaged” depends on

 THE STRENGTH OF THE WORKPLACE  DEVELOPMENT

 CLEAR EXPECTATIONS  PARTICIPATION
 RESOURCES  PURPOSE
 OPPORTUNITY  QUALITY
 RECOGNITION  APPRAISAL
 CARE & CONCERN  LEARNING

If we provide all the above, then we have built a GREATER

PLACE TO WORK. Most of the above are in the hands of
THE BOSS.
 The BOSS
 The “Boss” is the key factor in building a strong work
place.

 Talent retention strategy will work if we have the “Boss”

in right place.

 “Boss” who “nurture” and “mentor”.

 Creates nurturing environment for the employees to

imagine, explore, pioneer, invent etc.
 Growth is a pre-requisite

 Talent can be retained with business growth.

 New businesses provide career opportunities.

 Retaining talent and growing business are

therefore interdependent.

 “Growth” is therefore a pre-requisite.

 They want to be with us.
