This October was a busy one for everyone at Let's Talk Talent!

• Sarah hosted a fantastic webinar for our community on how you can revamp your succession planning strategy, and build better paths to progression for your teams going forward.

• One of our coaches, Stephen Ratcliffe, delivered a stunning session using VoicePrint to help teams at King’s College London understand their own learning and communication styles to better tailor their approach to L&D, making for better experiences.

Sarah Says: Don’t Make Rewards A Priority In Your Performance Approach! 📈

"I’ve been talking to quite a few organisations who are currently reviewing their performance management approach. Whilst I don’t love them, I do recognise that many organisations need them. The problem though, is that we get too caught up on them. Especially when they’re connected to reward. Although they seem to provide a ‘carrot’, they’re not an effective motivator. Review your rating scale if needed – but don’t make it your first priority! What really matters is clarity of expectations and regular, quality conversations. Start there!"

Craig's Thoughts: It's High Time You Checked Your Frameworks Are Ship-Shape... 🚢

"As organisations navigate the impact of the 2024 UK Budget announcements, I believe competency, capability, and skills frameworks are going to become essential tools to drive productivity and efficiency.  Having a well-designed framework aligns employee skills with strategic goals, ensuring teams are equipped to meet evolving demands. It's a great time to brush the dust off that framework sitting in the drawer, and evaluate if it's fit for purpose."
