First one is on us
People are the most expensive and critical part of any organisation. Without good people who are engaged and motivated organisations are limiting their potential.
Critical Factors provides advice and implementation strategies in the following key areas linked to people.
– Building a robust recruitment strategy and process including the use of Psychometrics for both recruitment and talent development
– ‘Top Grading’ recruitment strategies to maximise the chance of hiring and keeping an ‘A Player’
– Engagement and employee satisfaction tools and measurement
– Leadership and management training and coaching
– General Capability and training services
– Organisational reviews and investigations
Culture is entirely a result of the people that make up a community, how they are led, act and behave. Put simply, the Critical Factor’s view is that a healthy and positive culture that has clear expectations around both behaviour and performance is the only way to generate sustainable high performance.
Culture is either random or created.
A new culture every 2-3 years when the boss changes is a recipe for a random culture and organisational failure.
Critical Factors provides advice and implementation strategies in the following key areas linked to culture.
– Organisational culture assessments and reviews
– Culture Investigations and recommendations
– Organisational culture strategy and implementation
– Leadership and management training and coaching linked to cultural change
Critical Factors has a straightforward view on high performance. It needs to be sustainable.
To be sustainable out performance MUST include a clear focus on:
– The incredible potential of people,
– A clear and simple strategy for the organisation
– The ability to execute on this strategy,
– The Cash to invest in what is required, and
– Physical and psychologic safety.
To be blunt, it is easy to push your people to work harder and faster, and even easier to focus of profit over customers and quality. Sustainable long-term performance, however, is always accompanied by a people centric culture.
High performance must be driven by having the right people, in the right roles, supported by the right tools and led by the right leaders.
