26/1/2023 0 Comments Talent ManagementOrganisations place a high premium on talent.
Organisations have upped the ante on talent management efforts, making sure that the welfare and personal development of their employees is at the forefront while taking business decisions. Talent management initiatives don’t just attract better talent, but completely transform talent management—and change what it means to be at work.

22/1/2023 0 Comments Conducting Skills AuditsSkills gaps have been present for many years, but the problem has continued to worsen after the pandemic. The workplace has been forced into adopting a more digitally focused approach to how things are done. It’s become a truism that the ‘new normal’ will not, and cannot, be like the old normal. What skills will be most in demand and what can you do about it if you do not feel that you have enough of these at the moment?
As the workplace evolves, workers have to refresh their skills to avoid falling behind. This leaves companies with the question of “buy or build?” Should you recruit or retain employees? This is how a skills audit can help. 14/1/2023 0 Comments Personal Development Plans (PDPs)Personal development plans (PDPs) are not only a roadmap to success for individuals—they also help improve an organisation’s overall performance. As employees achieve their goals and acquire new skills, businesses benefit from their improved skills and productivity. From entry-level workers to seasoned career professionals, everyone benefits from strengthening their abilities, learning new skills, and becoming more effective in their role. This is because PDPs help individuals map out their growth path to achieve an overall goal, such as learning new hard skills or developing soft skills. Are you ready to level up your organisation's performance?
A professional, external facilitator instead of an internal facilitator can provide lots of valuable support with an organisation’s strategic thinking and planning. More and more Boards and CEO's now use one. But exactly what potential uses can such a facilitator serve – beyond perhaps just the usual perception of someone running a workshop or meeting? And what are the key skills and qualities you should expect and look for when choosing such a facilitator?
3/1/2023 0 Comments Add value to your organisationThe value you add is the real contribution you make to your organisation's success. Performing the activities listed in your job description or your job specification is important and makes a contribution. However, your value-add moves beyond mere activities or tasks performed and illuminates, instead, the overall contributions you make to your organisation's success.
Whether it’s an increasing awareness of the ESG factors or the growing emphasis placed on diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace – what will be the biggest challenges facing organisations in 2023, and how can you effectively manage them?
The workplace can be a volatile environment, filled with stress, pressure, anxiety, and even drama from time to time. It can also be a place of happiness, contentment, and excitement. All of these facets can play a role in how someone feels at any given moment, and managing those feelings indicates their level of emotional intelligence (EQ).
27/11/2022 0 Comments Management DevelopmentMore than a quarter of managers have never had any formal training on how to manage people, a poll has found. Another survey conducted found that 26% of those who manage or supervise people at work have never had management training. A further two in five (39%) said they received management training when they first took on managerial responsibilities, and just a third (35%) said they received regular management training.
Are your managers competent to lead and manage teams in the "new normal"? 16/11/2022 0 Comments Occupational FraudAnti-fraud professionals estimate that the typical organisation loses 5% of its revenue annually to fraud. Think about your organisation. The loss of those funds in your company could mean fewer raises, potential layoffs, greater pressure to increase revenue or cut costs, or decreases in employee benefits.
To fight fraud in your organisation, you first have to learn what fraud is, why it’s important to stop it, red flags to look for and ways to prevent it. 30/10/2022 0 Comments Diversity, Equity and Inclusion SurveyToday, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts are de rigueur for almost all organisations. Executives understand that their organisations can’t be successful on a global platform if they don’t have a DEI workforce. A DEI workforce is necessary to drive innovation, foster creativity, and guide organisational strategies. Multiple voices lead to new ideas, new services, and new products, and encourage out-of-the box thinking. Organisations no longer view DEI efforts as separate from their other business practices, and recognise that a DEI work-force can differentiate them from their competitors and can help capture new clients.
