The news headlines about labour shortages and shrinking populations shoot through your timeline. It is therefore extremely logical that most leadership teams immediately start focusing on two aspects: hiring and retaining people.

‍

Calling for it is one thing, but actually getting it done is much more complex. We now shed some light on the 'black box of People & Culture'. Here, we define not two, but seven axes that determine whether your team will achieve its ambitious targets quarter after quarter, even now that the market is more dynamic than ever. They will have to do something different, so will you.

‍

Retaining people' is too one-dimensional. After all, what good is a larger group of people if they are not committed to your mission with an innovative mindset?

Or if these high performers spend half a day a week trying to get rid of their mail and administration?

‍

In our opinion, it takes tremendous care on the part of your leadership team to tightly establish your way of working and the structure on which you want people to grow without getting stressed.

‍

The real edge over the competition lies in a combination of different designs.

• Succession planning and knowing what you need for growth now and in the future;
• Offering development and growth opportunities;
• Making employees part of your growth ambition and continuing to make an impact together;
• Looking outwards and looking at strategic partnerships or acquisition opportunities;
• Efficiency through automation and allowing each individual to excel from strength to strength.

While scaling up, you will always face growth barriers from your workforce. Always unexpected and when you have that brilliant idea to beat the market with your company.
