Doug Tucker, President, CEO and Co-FounderToday’s Workforce Reality
Organizational cultures today are filled with people that are impacting their culture, talent acquisition, employee development, and employee retention strategic initiatives in a positive or negative way. For the past several decades employees have been hired and promoted based on their education, job skills, and work experience. Although each of these qualifications are important, many organizational leaders are beginning to realize that an employee’s Character and Behavior are just as important, if not even more so.
GAINING ‘INTERNAL CONTROL’ OVER MULTIPLE WORKFORCE CHALLENGES
The most frustrating, persistent, and costly challenges within organizations today originate from within and have one thing in common… PEOPLE. Successful organizations today realize they must continue to hire, develop, and retain quality employees committed to their vision, mission, and purpose. Organizational leaders are also beginning to realize that their employees have a variety of personal and professional challenges that they are bringing into the workplace each day. These various ‘challenges’ are impacting their levels of employee engagement, performance, team effectiveness, operational efficiency, and bottom-line results.
→ WORKFORCE AWAKENING: Research shows that many organizations are challenged daily by the three workgroups above, and that many of the challenges are Character and Behavior related. Employers today must ‘rethink and reshape’ their employee development strategies and processes that will benefit not only the three workgroups pictured above, but also other workgroups throughout all levels of the organization.
Technical skills may qualify employees for a role, but their ‘Character and Behavior’ determine how effectively they perform, lead, and contribute to the success of an organization
A Few Characteristics of a Disengaged Workforce are:
Alignment with Organizational Core Values
Ongoing Character and Behavior Challenges
Employees that Resent Authority
Trust, Respect, and Employee Conflict Challenges
Negative Attitudes
Frequent Complainers and Gossipers
Denying Responsibility, Always Making Excuses, and Blaming Others
Through Character-Based Human Capital Solutions
Organizational leaders today need to be provided with a strategy, process, and Character-Based Solutions that focus on one very important ‘Common Denominator’ that can be cost-effectively adopted and integrated into the following strategic areas:
Culture
Talent Acquisition
Employee Development
Three Important Facts:
1) Every employee’s Character and Behavior is the foundation to their Personal Leadership Effectiveness.
2) Every employee’s Character and Behavior have a positive or a negative impact on their performance, productivity, and team effectiveness.
3) Every employee’s Personal Leadership Effectiveness is the foundation to their Professional Leadership Effectiveness.
