How to Attract The Best Talent for Your Company -Part II

Continued from Part I published April 28, 2020

Employees must develop their skills and evolve professionally as much as their talent and potential allows them to. This is a maxim that companies and organizations must understand and strengthen. The organization must take into account that all people aspire to have the best working conditions. Those that allow them to develop their talents and combine it with their personal life, so that if any of the organization’s competitors offers them better conditions, they don’t suddenly switch jobs. To avoid these situations, the company must work on plans that strengthen the relationship between workers and the company.

Here is when the most obvious aspect comes: Offering the best conditions to workers is a fair deal and obtaining satisfied and committed work teams must be one of the main objectives of human talent management in organizations. We must keep in mind that employees spend most of their time in their work. And therefore, they expect their efforts to be rewarded. Either through a retribution that meets their needs and expectations, or by any form of recognition. These conditions are simple. They refer to details such as comfortable facilities, work teams in good shape, talent management policies as well as health and safety at work guarantees. These are some fundamental conditions that attract people to any company and that help to retain them, as well as to encourage them to develop labor effectively.

Likewise, salaries clearly play an essential role, as all people like their effort to be valued. Therefore, establishing a fair economic compensation policy is very important. A good way to do this is based on the achievements of the employees. This technique encourages employees to develop their work in the most effective way possible, as well as to cultivate their attitudes in order to achieve the objectives that have been proposed. Rewarding good performance financially creates a greater degree of commitment between the company or organization and the person and no longer only at a job level.

However, not only the monetary aspect is the factor that is taken into account in the labor motivation process. The emotional salary is one that makes employees feel comfortable, happy, valued and satisfied with their work. The measurement is complicated since it is an added value that renews the connection between the company and the employee, improving the commitment that exists between the two. This includes actions such as recognition of achievements, respect, work flexibility and reconciliation between personal and work life.

Finally, there is no doubt that talent attracts talent. Having talented minds in organizations promotes the growth of any company and also attracts more talent that seeks to learn from the best professionals and share experience with them to achieve great things.

As can be seen, it is a matter of working on the different strategies to incorporate each of the aspects mentioned in the management of your company, and, eventually, count on the best human team that your company could ask for.

Be More Visible! And The Power of Ten

The number ten signifies completeness. It implies that nothing is wanting. Ten is a very significant number so far for me in 2010. Here’s why:

~We launched the much needed and very helpful booklet Be More Visible! Create More Interest in You, Your Product or Service

~We celebrated Visibility Marketing’s tenth anniversary in October (tenth month), with Don’t Drop the Dream! a fundraiser for Continue Life, a homeless shelter for pregnant and parenting women.

~Over 100 people attended Don’t Drop the Dream!

~I was ten when I first visited my father’s company and decided I wanted to own a business

~Visibility Marketing won COSE’s Ten Under 10 Award for best practices in innovation, growth/success, value to the community and the environment, diversity promotion and customer service.

I’ve just listed five (half of ten) significant tens for Visibility Marketing. The first ten people who email me will receive the new booklet, Be More Visible! Create More Interest in You, Your Product or Service.

In it are more than 60 (six times ten) ways to tell others about you or what you have to offer. Using these tips at least once a week will create mre visibility, which often leads to more sales.

Thanks in advance for your support and continue to Be More Visible!

Learn Entrepreneurship from the Princess

My six-year-old daughter and I had the opportunity to preview Disney’s latest princess movie, “The Princess and the Frog.” Princess Tiana, the first African American princess created by Disney, works hard to save money to open a restaurant in New Orleans. Unlike other Disney princesses, Tiana is not interested in waiting “someday for her Prince to come.” She makes sure her life’s happiness does not depend upon anyone else – including a Prince.

It’s refreshing to see a Disney Princess story line that shows a woman does not have to  lie  in wait for her rescuer. Tiana is enterprising. She knows what she wants and seeks out the people who will help her get it. Even if it happens to be a Prince.
