Talent Acquisition – the Best Practices

Talent Acquisition – the Best Practices

 

Talent Management

 (English Translation below)

إستقطاب أصحاب المواهب Talent Acquisition –

أفضل الممارسات Best Practices

 

هل هناك دور لثقافة المؤسسة و مسئول ادارة “استقطاب المواهب و أفضل المهارات والكفاءات” في تحقيق رسالة المؤسسة وأهدافها الاستراتيجية؟ 

يتوجب على أصحاب المصلحة والتنفيذيين ومدراء الموارد البشرية  واستقطاب المواهب – التركيز على تركيبة العاملين في المؤسسة كي تتوافق مع متطلبات العمل وسد الفجوة بين المهارات والمواهب المطلوبة لكل وظيفة. وذلك بإنتقاء وتدريب المواهب المطلوبة من العاملين.

و من الضروري متابعة السوق، واتجاهاته، والتوصل الى أحدث البيانات، والمؤثرات الخارجية للبقاء على إطلاع على أي مستجدات في حال  احتاجت المؤسسة إلى تعديل أو تغيير خطة العمل أو جذب المواهب فى ظل سوق تنافسية.

 

من متطلبات تحقيق أفضل الممارسات في استقطاب المواهب:

  • بناء بيئة عمل تعكس ثقافة المؤسسة وقيمها من خلال؛ إنجاز الأعمال، أو كيفية إتخاذ القرارت، أو تطبيق الحوافز
  • منح المرشحين للوظائف معاملة العملاء
  • الإستثمار في إستخدام أحدث التقنيات والتكمولوجيا لجذب المواهب والمهارات والكفاءات ومواكبة التقدم
  • تصميم خطوات وإجراءات تعيين تعكس المعايير الحديثة، بالإضافة إلى إستخدام استمارات تقييم لفحص المواهب والكفاءات
  • تحديد المهام والأدوار الحساسة في المؤسسة، وتمكين المدراء – لما في ذلك من أثر مباشر على الأداء المتميز وتحقيق العوائد الاستثمارية المرجوة
  • إستخدام بطاقات إظهار النتائج لقياس أداء أصحاب المواهب وذلك بإتباع أربع خطوات: إستخدام مؤشرات الأداء الرئيسية (KPI) – الإطلاع على تحديات محددة تحول دون تحقيق مؤشرات الأداء – مراجعة المبادرات الرئيسية المرتبطة بخطة العام المالي وموعد التسليم – النظر إلى الفرص والخطط والإعداد لتقديم التحديات المذكورة أعلاه. إن التنفيذيين وأصحاب المصلحة هم أشخاص دائما مشغلون ويريدون فهم مجرى الامور بمجرد إلقاء نظرة سريعة. كما أن أصحاب المصلحة لا يحبون تصفح العشرات من الصفحات. إن بطاقة واحدة موجزة تفي بالغرض.
  • استخدام أداة قياس عائد الاستثمار ROI في التعينات و ذلك للتخلص من إتباع العادات القديمة و التقليدية في التوظيف.
  • وأخيراً الإنسان قبل الإستراتيجيات: إن دور المهارات القيادية لمسؤول الموارد البشرية CHRO، مهم لبناء الموهبة وإحراز نتيجة ومستقبل من النجاح. إن الأعمال التجارية لا تصنع القيم; الإنسان هو صانعها.

Is there a role for the culture of the organisation to be significant for HR leaders and departments to  “attract talent and better skills and competencies” in order to achieve the organisation’s mission and strategic objectives?

Stakeholders, executives, directors of human resources should focus on the structure of employees in an organisation, so that they comply with the work requirements and bridge the gap between the skills and talents required for each job.  This can be done by selecting workers and training talents.

It is necessary to keep an eye on the market, trends and external influences and to acquire the latest data and stay informed on any developments in case the organisation needs to modify or change action plans or attract talent in a competitive market.

The requirements for achieving best practices in attracting talent include:

1. Building a work environment that reflects the culture of the institution and its values through the completion of tasks, decision-making or incentives.

2. Treating job candidates as if they were customers.

3.  Investing in the latest techniques and technology to attract talent, skills, competencies, and keep pace with progress.

4.  Designing steps, processes, and procedures for hiring that reflect modern standards, in addition to using technologies to evaluate talents and competencies.

5.  Identifying sensitive tasks and roles in the organisation, enabling managers to deliver.  This has a direct impact on outstanding performance and helps achieve the desired return on investment.

6.  Using balanced score cards to measure the performance of talent by following four steps:

*  the use of key performance indicators (KPI) – looking at specific challenges that get in the way of the achievement of performance indicators.

*  reviewing the key initiatives associated with the general financial plan and delivery date.

*  looking for opportunities, plans and preparations to address these challenges.

*  having a one-page concise dashboard entry; executives and stakeholders are busy people and want to understand the course of things at a quick glance, they do not like to browse dozens of pages.

7.  Using an ROI tool (return on investment) in hiring and appointing people, to move away from old and traditional habits of employment.

And finally – implementing a “human before strategies” rule: The leadership skills of the human resources official CHRO (chief human resources officer) are important for building the talent and achieving progress and future success.

Businesses do not set values: Humans do.

Change The Wallpaper

Change The Wallpaper

Effective Change Change is not always sought or planned and not always welcomed.

 

Last year 14 year old Domanik Green hacked into his school computer in Florida.  Did he alter exam answers?  Did he meddle with pupil’s grades?  No. He changed the school computer’s wallpaper.   His reason was simple; he wanted to annoy a teacher he didn’t like.

Some people interviewed after Brexit admitted voting Leave because they were annoyed, wanting to make a point, and they were alarmed at the result. The result has bred high levels of uncertainty and alarm at an unknown future with warnings of doom and calamity looming.

Domanik faced criminal charges for a third degree felony with a maximum sentence of up to 5 years imprisonment and a $5000 fine.  All he wanted to do was make a point.

GETTING THE RIGHT DESIGN

  • Things change.
  • Change has consequences.
  • We are not necessarily able to control change, but we can influence it.

Whether we choose to make a small change or a huge one, we should think about WHY we are doing it.  What might be the unintended consequences?  Domanik probably thought he might be banned from computer access, it is unlikely he considered he might face criminal proceedings.

The great thing about Domanik’s story is that his actions highlighted weaknesses in the school IT policy – he watched his teacher log in using his surname as a password, and apparently other students knew several teacher passwords.  So another unintended consequence of his hacking activities was the overhaul of the school’s IT security.

Change can have positive side effects:

  1. Opportunities for reflection
  2. Opportunities for invention and innovation
  3. Opportunities to improvise and improve

 

A final thought –  How can you influence change, whether it has already happened because of external forces, or the changes that you want to make yourself?

The Big Ask

The Big Ask
How Talking Books were born
How Talking Books were born

“Captain Ian Fraser lost his sight at the Battle of the Somme in July 1916, after being shot through the eyes by a German sniper. A single gunshot had robbed him of one of his greatest passions: reading. “  RNIB – How Talking Books were born

Charities have had a bit of a hard time lately, not least being frowned upon for questionable fundraising methods pressuring vulnerable people into giving. Last year Gareth G. Morgan (Professor of Charity Studies and leader of the Centre for Voluntary Sector Research) at Sheffield Hallam University) gave his valedictory lecture ‘The End of Charity’ .  In it he referred to the “extraordinary combination of threats” charities faced, including the issues of underfunded organisation,  fundraising abuses and media criticism.  He ended his talk saying  “So, what is the end to which all charity is ultimately directed?  The answer is very simple: the end of charity is public benefit. If that is our focus, both in our fundraising and our operational work, and if that can be the focus of charity regulation, then we cannot go astray.”

Halina Jaroszewska and I have been working with the RNIB fundraising staff and if we wore hats we would be constantly taking them off in deference to those fabulous people.  We have discovered the ‘public benefit‘ that this charity gives. We recently spent a day with some of them in Birmingham where we were offering our knowledge and expertise on presentation and public speaking, and where we found ourselves learning and increasing our respect for those fundraisers. Our focus for the day was the RNIB Talking Books, which began in 1935 and revolutionised reading for people with sight loss.  With a collection of over 23,000 titles, and with over 30,000 listeners, this service brings a gift to each of those listeners.

Captain Fraser’s desire to get back to reading inspired him to record an entire talking book and he began working with the RNIB in 1918 exploring how new technology could develop this recording ability.  Today, the people we were privileged enough to work with last week are now able to promote the Talking Books as their Big Ask knowing the gift that is in those Books.

“It’s like having another voice in the house.  It helps break the silence and the loneliness” (Dennis, 66,  a Talking Books reader)  – a gift of reading, of company, of meaning, of knowing someone cares.
