Managing Talent

---

In an ever evolving work-world, having a current and effective recruitment strategy will help you to have the right people in the right seats at the right time.

- Are you a company people want to work for?

- Are you able to attract and retain high potential / high performance employees?

- Do your managers know how to conduct proper (and legal) interviews?

- Do you have an effective recruitment strategy?

- Do you need recruitment support (ad development, assessment tools, interview assistance, etc.)?

I am a Registered Professional Recruiter (RPR) and have spent a large portion of my career supporting organizations with their recruitment needs - from cradle to grave of the recruitment process, I can help you build an effective recruitment program.

Would your employees say they know what they are being measured against and how their work provides value to your organization?

- Do you practice performance "management" or simply conduct "stuck in time" appraisals?

- Is your program focused on development or is it punitive?

- Are your managers able to effectively let employees know when issues exist as well as when they have performed well?

- Do you have an effective and sound discipline process that will stand the test if you need to move to termination?

Once you identify new talent and they accept your offer, you want to ensure that you create on on-boarding journey that will help to keep them engaged in their new role. 

- When you hire someone, is it "sink or swim" or do  you have an effective on-boarding program?

- Do you differentiate between orientation and on-boarding?

- Do new employees know what they are being measured against or what is expected of them in their first few months?

- Have you set them up with a buddy/mentor to help get them acclimated?

I focus the programs I develop on the 3 key P's for a new employee - People, Paperwork and Performance. 

An employee's life with your organization should include ongoing development and training - supporting employees in keeping their skills fresh and relevant helps to create a productive and engaged workforce.  

- Do you need someone to develop and/or conduct training on various topics for your employees in areas such as; civility and respect in the workplace, new manager training, performance management, interviewing, HR 101, advancing your career, resume writing, etc.?

- Are employees provided ongoing training to help them continue to succeed in their roles?

- Do you want to implement a Mentor Program to help staff learn from each other?

As a Certified Performance Consultant (CPC) and Registered Professional Trainer (RPT) I can assist in developing programs as well as determining if it is a training need versus performance issue.

Not everyone is the right hire or will stay with you forever...

- Do you conduct terminations in a legal and ethical manner?

- Do you need support for the termination process?

- Have your managers ever conducted a termination/ know how to do it?

- Have you checked all the required boxes when an employee leaves?

- Do you know how to communicate to the team after someone leaves?
