Aligning Strategy with Culture, People, Pay and Performance to Accelerate Business Results and Leadership Growth | People Plan® Talent and Reward Playbooks
We hear so much about "work from home" and "Return to Office" policies changing... but what factors matter to job seekers? According to their global Workforce 2024 report, Korn Ferry found similarities of applicants in the 6 countries studied-- see top factors below. These results mirror what our firm Atlas Alignment Growth Partners found and support two decades of WorldatWork "Total Rewards" research -- ideal job schedule, pay levels and job / employer security are most important to candidates when considering a new job. For most employees, "opportunities" (whether training & development or promotion potential) are both a great retention and engagement tool for employers --- but if employees perceive these are lacking, they start looking for that new position elsewhere. Thanks Dominic Monkhouse for sharing this great article: "Just Pay Me"-- Korn Ferry- link in the comments #talentoptimization #totalrewards #talentacquisition

“A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.” Steve Jobs Watch our new video, “Uplevel Your Team with my A-Player Evaluation Framework,” to find out how to build your dream team. Learn to effectively categorize and coach your team for maximum performance. In the video, our Chief of Alignment, Diana Southall covers how to: 1. Recognize and Retain Top Performers: Identify A-Players who excel in both job performance & cultural fit. 2. Coach and Develop Potential: Provide tailored coaching to B-Players to elevate them to A-Player status. 3. Address and Improve Low Performers: Initiate crucial conversations with C-Players to support their improvement and make informed decisions about their future. By categorizing your team based on performance and cultural fit, you’ll gain insights to guide targeted coaching and development efforts. This framework helps you understand your team’s unique strengths and gaps, allowing you to take actionable steps to optimize performance. This process is a practical approach to identify and develop top talent while addressing performance and cultural alignment issues. Ready to dive in? Download the ABC Player Evaluation Grid PDF template and watch the instructions video by our Chief of Alignment, Diana Southall.

Using our ABC Player performance-enhancing process, a recent client was able to go from 60% to 83% A-Players in about a year. When the managers defined their job performance and culture expectations as a basis to select new hire candidates, they had 100% new hire success in the next 2 years! The first step in the process- our A-Player Evaluation Grid template- helped managers categorize their team members, providing clarity and actionable insights on how to coach for improved performance.

Are you accepting “good” employees instead of finding ways to turn good into “great”? Often employees on your team meet your expectations for their basic job performance, but are not A-Players who go “above and beyond.” Typically these B-Players are solid citizens, but don’t exhibit all your core values or lack competencies such as problem solving, planning/ organizing or customer focus. Your acceptance of B-Players limits your department performance and demands more time and effort from you as their manager. Also “unreliable co-workers” is a top reason that great employees quit ☹ When you focus on turning good employees into "great" ones, you unlock your team’s full potential. By using our ABC-Player Evaluation Grid, you can identify your A-Players, see where to coach your B-Players to elevate their performance across all areas, and understand who is truly a “C-Player” and requires immediate intervention. When you coach all members of your team on their job role AND culture fit, this ensures a high-performing, cohesive team aligned with your core values… and less time spent “managing” low performers. Get started with our template to map and coach your team-- See comments link for the template and video instructions.

Is it better to have just a few "key priorities" or to tackle a range of projects to improve strategy and execution? This post points out that a systematic focus on just that "key" as in a few projects and labeling "priorities"- as in high-impact and important will result in greater outcomes. https://lnkd.in/es7dZuD9 #priorities #execution #rocks

You know the story about the jar with the rocks, pebbles, and sand? It doesn't work. If you don't remember the story, the jar represents your life (or your work life). The rocks represent the big, important things like major projects, the pebbles the smaller things like minor projects and tasks, and sand the other stuff like responding to emails and messages and so on. Some tellings add beer to represent relaxation. Anyway, the moral of the story is that if you put the rocks in first, there's still time for pebbles and sand, but if you do it the other way around, there's no room for rocks. Yeah, that part is true enough, but the reality is that most people have far more rocks than will ever fit into our jar, let alone the extra pebbles, sand, and beer. So we fill our jar with a selection of rocks, and end up with it bulging out the top and another very important rock balancing on top of that, and then we're stressed about all the other rocks we haven't fit in yet. This is why so many people burn out, work 80 hour weeks, and have no energy left to squeeze the pebbles in to our lives - and too often, family, health, and hobbies are seen as pebbles, not rocks. We're drowning in things to do. The problem is not how we fit as much in as we can, which will never satisfy us while we see all the things we couldn't fit. So what we need to do is select the rocks, the pebbles and the sand that we want to put in, and ignore the rest. That is, we need a strategy. This is true in life, and it's true in business. As managers, it's doubly true, because we're responsible not only for our own jars, but at least partly for our teams' jars. And, as managers, we're the ones who assess performance - meaning the value of the rocks, pebbles and sand each of our team fits into their work jars. How are you selecting the right things and, equally importantly, rejecting the rest so they aren't causing stress?
