War On Talent Companies desiring to have the “best” leaders present new challenges for HR functions Need to attract the “right” people Need to invest in growth and development of executives Need to build creative strategies to retain top talent

HR Challenges In the past… HR has been seen as a “soft” function Difficulty showing ROI on critical initiatives Not a significant consideration when building the overarching success strategy for the business

The Future of the “War on Talent” The future will require… HR to demonstrate “hard” measurements and tangible results More scientific rigor attraction, development and retention strategies Clearer linkages between HR initiatives and productivity or success measures impacting business strategy

Getting Started Step 1: Begins with a well-defined talent and leadership strategy What role will talent development play in attracting, growing and retaining top leaders? What is your vision for succession planning and promoting from within? How will you define your competitive advantage in this area? Step 2: Define Critical to Success Leadership Competencies What behaviors are rewarded in your culture? What skills will be integral to meet the challenges of the future?  It is critical that these characteristics are shaped by senior executives and aligned with the business strategy

Building Pull-through Step 3: Creation of Benchmark Standards Define competencies at their “best” and “worst” in visible, observable terms Create a basis for providing leaders with…  Common understanding  Consistent measurement  Impactful, actionable feedback Step 4: Creation of Assessment Methodology How will assessment be conducted (e.g., internally, externally, both)? What level of executives will be targeted (e.g., top talent to all leaders)? What and how many assessment tools will be used? How will participants and managers be engaged in the process?

Final Considerations Step 5: Launching the Strategy Include a well-defined communication plan  How will assessment results be used (e.g., performance feedback vs. development only)?  What can participants and their leaders expect to result from the process? Create clear direction on next steps once feedback has been received  How will HR be engaged in helping individuals translate their feedback into true behavior change?  How will the success of the initiative be measured?

Expected Outcomes Individual Level Better understanding of the organization’s expectations regarding leadership Receive clear, objective, actionable feedback Support in development plan creation from an experienced coach/development expert Business Unit Level Better understanding of team strengths and opportunities Opportunity to build a strategy for leveraging people talents Can identify new skills that need to be developed or brought into the team Organization Level Overview of the type of leaders that deliver success Opportunity to build performance management systems that reward the most critical to success skills and retain talent Critical information to build talent attraction, development and retention strategies

Additional Organizational Benefits Training dollars spent only on critical skills Development plans tailored and specific Greater clarity around talent roadmaps Reduction in executive search costs Increased talent retention Succession pools targeted = Reduction in cost of human capital operations

Final Thoughts Investment in talent development and assessment Critical for knowing how to attract the “right” type of leader to build success in your culture Provides a logical, focused path for development of talent Can significantly increase talent retention as leaders have a clear path to follow to achieve their personal goals in the organization Questions?
