E7 Build your Core-Develop your People
Your people are impacted by a fast paced changing workplace, hence their needs have correspondingly changed, and will continue to evolve, so my aim is to keep you ahead of the curve by putting your people at the center of your business equation, by fully engaging them for your, and their success. This is what takes a business to the levels of great, and what I can help you achieve. You need some great people strategies in place that are backed by exceptional leaders that can take your culture to higher levels of success.
We know your people will leave you quickly today if they are not engaged, but what does this really mean for you as a business?
If you have a new hire you need to focus on engagement and development from day 1- This focus is equally important for existing staff, and if you are not doing it now, you really need to start!
Open training and development backed by a clear career path is key. This training needs to be optional, supported, and easily accessible.
To help develop your people you need your leaders support and endorsement, to help you achieve this some key tips are; Strong leadership in place that is focused on developing a support and positive people culture- regular 360 degree feedback and culture surveys Consistent and constant leadership training that reflects the company values, culture and empathic leadership Visible leaders Leaders walking the talk Available leaders- working teams can help with this A living breathing culture that is distributed through all parts of the business Regular open communication with management Regular praise and recognition from management Psychological safety Space to try new ideas and be supported Focus on developing a learning culture Transparent and clear performance management systems that allow your people to be in control of their output.
Develop low cost high impact training programs- Most of these can be done internally.
The 2 key parts of training;
Job Demands- often technical training Should support business needs and growth Should be broad where possible, Should be part of the JD steps and growth
Career Development
This should include not just the next step training but a large range of soft skills and optional training. This not only improves your people and allows them to develop, but engages them to stay.

In her own words,
'People are the powerhouse behind everything, they are an intrinsic part of your business, and your everyday life. If you can't engage and work with them in a mutually beneficial style then everything suffers.
I passionately believe in not only ensuring your people are engaged, but in putting people at the centre of the work equation. Whilst the business, or product, or service, is still vitally important, it is the people that will ultimately make or break your company's success.
