T
he war for talent
is over and talent
has won. Technology
and globalization have
dramatically changed the
way we work over the last 20-30 years.
However, very little has changed in how
we hire and manage staff, which has
led to low employee engagement and
productivity and high employee turnover.
Instead of doing the routine, tactical
and predicable work of yesteryear,
the Social Age requires us to be more
strategic, creative and innovative — more
solutions-oriented. Yet, for the most part,
we are still hiring for skills and experience
and using the same levers we have used for
decades (if not centuries) to motivate and
manage staff.
We must evolve our business practices
to remain competitive in our digitally
connected, globally orientated economy.
With any evolutionary process, a guide
or roadmap proves invaluable. When your
company decides to take the leap and join
the Social Age, there are 5 C's to adhere
to so you can maximize employment
efficiency and effectiveness, retain your
staff and ensure that your employees are
fully engaged on a daily basis.
