My name is Consuela Munoz, a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. Business leaders hire me to master their strengths-based leadership because most are facing the "Great Resignation" and won't retain "A" players, maintain superior results and struggle to manage time, teams, and talents. So, I help build and engage their natural leadership style for ultimate success. Are people lining up to work for your company? Is your turnover under control? Finding and keeping the best employees has been a concern for some time and has risen to the top of list over the last eighteen months. Just like it's a seller's market for housing, it is an employee's market for talent, and leaders will have to think creatively and move quickly to attract and keep the best. Developing a strategy in the three areas below can make your company more irresistible to potential employees. Employee Experience What does your first impression say to potential employees? Having a streamlined, modern, welcoming hiring process can help you get the right people in the door. Companies that struggle to process applications using old systems are losing the chance at top talent. Once they do say yes, make sure their first day is amazing. A terrible first day can have them regretting their choice and looking for the exit before their laptop arrives. Strengths-based Leadership Good compensation and incentives can play a part but won't be enough, because the best employees want to work for the best leaders. The best leaders are purpose-driven and understand the role of a leader is different than what they did to rise to leadership. They lead using their own natural strengths-based leadership style. They treat their team members with respect, honesty, and trust, as they support and develop their growth. Employee Engagement Top talent wants to join a company where they can focus on what they do best. Teams with all members doing what they do best and working toward a shared purpose will be unstoppable. They also need to see a path for growth, development, and advancement if they are going to stay. A leader must create a culture where that is possible and obvious to potential employees, and in return will have employees that give their all to the team. Successful leaders will attract and retain the best employees when they think creatively and move quickly. They will have a welcoming hiring and onboarding experience that creates raving fans of new employees. They will create a culture of growth, development, and advancement for existing employees in areas of their strengths that will keep them engaged and maximize their performance.
