The role of training and development in attracting the (b)right people for your company

It’s needles to say, that it’s crucial for any company to hire and retain the appropriate people. Of course, the methods for achieving this are various, ranging from linking company strategy to talent management, or creating an internal talent discovery system and to having in place a coherent training and developing system.

When talking about the later, in my opinion, training and development is the safest and the most efficient differentiating method, especially in these tough times. The bright people are looking constantly for opportunities to develop and, more and more often, salaries are not the best motivation you can offer them.

When developing the best training and development system for your company, take these recommendations into consideration:

1. Customize implementation methods to your company’s characteristics, regardless if we are talking about face to face trainings, online development programs, an academy like shaped program or a needs based approach;
2. Get buy-in from senior management. It’s important that they articulate the company values that ensure empowerment and define a community that individuals want to belong to;
3. Communicate efficiently, both internal and at an external level;
4. Hire bright people and turn them into your stars through training, mentoring and coaching. Studies have shown that’s it’s more efficient to grow your own talents rather than fighting for them with competitors.

So…decide now and let your people shine!

“Metodele de invatare ale managerilor, prea traditionale”

Articol aparut in Ziarul Financiar ca urmare a workshopului “Building Leadership Talent”.

“De obicei liderii sunt putin diferiti de personalul obisnuit al unei companii, ei au nevoie de o educatie speciala sau vor sa studieze la o scoala internationala.

Cu toate acestea, liderii invata inca intr-un mod foarte traditional si cred ca va mai trece timp pana se vor obisnui si cu altfel de instrumente de invatare”, a explicat Andreas Dittrich, chief operating office (COO) si cofondator al companiei Bridge2Think, care ofera solutii de invatare la nivel global, in cadrul workshopului “Development Leadership Talent” organizat de furnizorul de solutii de eLearning, ENOVATE in parteneriat cu Bridge2Think si HR Club Romania.

Before…| “Building Leadership Talent” Workshop

Ne place sa recunoastem sau nu, traim in vremuri…complicate. Daca acum ceva timp (nu foarte demult) prioritatea departamentului de HR era aceea de a recruta oameni noi, cei mai buni posibili, pentru a face fata cererii interne de dezvoltare, astazi situatia s-a schimbat radical. Acum este mult mai important ca oamenii talentati sa vina din interior. Ei trebuie sa fie pastrati, “ocrotiti” si dezvoltati. Sunt sansa de a iesi cu bine din criza.

Despre toate acestea si altele la fel de interesante, vom discuta joi, 4 decembrie, la Athenee Palace Hilton, impreuna cu Andreas Dittrich, COO & Co-fondator BRIDGE2THINK
