Why are talent really planning their exit post-downturn? |
 The fact that many employees are sitting in their jobs because of the downturn isn't news to you.
What may be a surprise is how many are fed up of the corporate rat race and planning an exit to do work that is more meaningful and gives back to the world.
At least 50% of the executives who attend the Energise 'Steer your career' workshop mention this and that they are fed up with politics and want to have more influence/control.
This represents a danger to big companies - how do you keep your talent happy when they want something different to what you are offering? Can you meet both the needs of the organisation and talent for a 'win win'? Losing your best people is an expensive headache and with Generation Y and the Millennials less loyal than previous generations, this situation is likely to get worse over time.
Energise offers a range of services to help you successfully overcome human capital challenges like these. These include HR mentoring, career management, executive coaching and talent engagement research and consulting.

Five tips to create more meaning & autonomy for talent |
1) Create smaller business units to give increased role variety and enhanced autonomy and responsibility for talent
2) Engage your talent in this problem and get them to come up with the solution
3) Look at what the best small businesses are doing - they are your real competitor
4) Introduce an external expert to elicit talent's unexpressed needs and aspirations and how they can be met
5) Proactively introduce part time work as the norm so talent can combine security with risk in a portfolio career
P.S. We chose this image because it expresses the real issue; your talent fly away or they stay and thrive in your organisation because the conditions are right for them to have their needs met. This choice is in your hands.
