Building sustainability into your People processes

We are also working with our clients to help them build more sustainability and inclusiveness into their people processes. Here are a few tips we would like to share with you:

• Talk to your employees and listen to how they feel. Are your development opportunities fair? Do people have time to learn and develop their skills?
• Believe in transparency and build more of it into your strategy, capabilities needed to succeed, and ways of measuring success.    
• Make your career paths and development opportunities available for all.
• Offer a way for employees to communicate skills they are keen on learning or would like to learn in the future.
• Employee-driven attitude is the new black. Offer tools and services to support individual needs and ways of developing.
• Keep your promise. If your policies include 1:1s with all employees, make sure team leads and coaches are prepared. Follow up and utilize data to improve, if needed.

If your People Process is in Excel, Google sheets, and other "forms", we can help you bring the same efficiency and transparency to People Development & Leadership as your CRM brought to your Sales.

Knowledge Sharing

To keep you updated on topics such as future of talent, we share knowledge on our social media and in our knowledge hub. Check out our knowledge hub here and enjoy articles, lists of podcasts, lists of HR events, etc.

I just read the following AIS article on Upskilling Versus External Hiring and thought you might benefit from it also.
