This Episode: Talent Development

Lucinda examines talent retention and development, building on the previous discussion about attracting talent, and emphasising the importance of creating a high-performance culture that not only draws in great people but also keeps them engaged and motivated.

Lucinda explores the evolving definition of talent, highlighting the need for inclusivity and recognising diverse contributions within organisations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Talent should not be limited to a select group of high performers or leaders. It encompasses a diverse range of individuals, including specialists, reliable experts, and emerging leaders, highlighting the importance of recognising and harnessing everyone’s unique contributions.
Organisations often invest heavily in recruitment but neglect onboarding and ongoing development. To retain talent, it’s crucial to provide meaningful career opportunities, learning and development options, and a sense of purpose beyond just a pay cheque.
The shift to hybrid work has changed how employees engage with their organisations. Companies need to ensure that visibility and performance evaluations are fair and inclusive, avoiding biases that may arise from physical presence in the workplace.
Engaging employees in their career development is essential. This involves regular performance conversations that focus on individual aspirations and growth, allowing employees to take an active role in shaping their career paths.

BEST MOMENTS

“We know that talent is broad. It’s about seeking out everybody’s talent. Talent is your high-performing specialist… Everyone plays their part.”

“People want more than a pay cheque. They want purpose, flexibility, growth, and to feel that their career is moving forward.”

“If you think of a modern talent strategy… it needs to be conscious, intentional, and on their terms as well.”

“We need to engage the individual in driving their career. People want choice, autonomy, and clarity on how they can grow.”

“Don’t start investing and don’t bite off more than you can chew. Start small and then turn those insights into action.”
