Beware short term thinking!
“Organisations must not compromise on strategy to cut costs during global economic crisis and should resist the temptation to cut investment in strategy, innovation and customer care for short-term cost savings during these times. While it’s necessary to be efficient and trim the excess in a company, managers must not end up cutting out important areas that have an effect on the long-term goals and effectiveness of the organisation. “Operating in an economic crisis is all about confidence. Numbers go bad – that’s the way economies work – but the situation gets dramatically worse as people lose confidence in a company’s management” Dr David P Norton (co-creator of the Balanced Scorecard concept) 4

Generation Y = 18 to about 28 Are they attracted to the Logistics & Supply Chain industry?
Gen Y like playing around and experiencing everything life has to offer Gen Y aren't thinking long-term - that's why you can't retain them... they're thinking next year, the year after – not much further Employers of Gen Y need to think laterally about what they can offer them. Think holistically - nurture their passions. Think short-term about rewards and experiences It’s a different world we live in today – not just the economic recession but we need to think about how to attract young people into the logistics business What about the even younger generation heading towards the job market…… 16

“Onboarding” - Controlling Retention through Attachment
90 Day Post Induction Survey Measures degree new employee is bonded or "attached" or successfully “onboarded” to organisation within critical 90 days of employment. An Attachment & Risk Report provides Managers and HR Departments critical info - perceptions of new employee - provides recommendations how to correct negative perceptions. The value tool = the Risk Rating and Recommendations that an organisation will receive for each new candidate on 90th day of employment If you do nothing else about retaining good staff – DO THIS! 18
19
Attraction strategies – Employer Branding
Research your current attraction & retention performance Which departments or job titles you have problems hiring for? Assess whether the current calibre of staff is correct re future hires? Conduct audit on company's values and points of difference List reasons why someone may opt for employment with you? Survey stakeholders to compare your stated company values with reality / perceptions More important than we think Perception of job seekers can be widely different from how senior management believe the firm is perceived 19
20
Attraction strategies – Employer Branding
Initiate your roll out plan Establish an "Employer Brand Team“ to align the needs of your organisation with your attraction strategy Aim is to know what type of people you want to attract and understand why a top person would want a job with your organisation? The secret to building the best employment brand is "commitment“ Prospective employees become attracted to a company that appeals to both their "issues of the heart" and "issues of the head”. Employers need to think about how they want their employees to feel as a result of working with them You want to become an “Employer of Choice” 20
21
Attraction strategies – Employer Branding
Be clear about what you have to offer and communicate it well - should know what your company stands for, and be real about how you present this Its about the experience the firm has to offer the employee and about how it engages its employees Ensure you build a culture underscored by respect and follow written values with behaviours and actions - a new employee will soon see the difference between written words and actual behaviour Example – think of 10 global logistics brands – from the perspective of a job seeker, which one attracts you and why? 21
22
Talent Attraction / Retention CSR - Corporate Responsibility
Talent management – aligning my Organisation with our long term business strategies 22
23
Talent Attraction / Retention CSR - Corporate Responsibility
Good examples of CSR in practice in this region e.g. Aramex I was in Thailand last year and participated in a school project fund raiser backed by a large employer, staff actually went out and built the new facilities with the cash raised Result was great teamwork and staff loyalty that translated into better customer service in their main business 23
24
Attraction strategies – Job Quality
Top people take jobs primarily because they meet their needs for growth, challenge, and learning. Ask why a top person would want this job? What big projects and challenges are involved? Think about the real job and not just the skills listed on the Job Description Tie the job to some bigger company initiative - for example, someone in a call centre can be part of a growth expansion plan, or someone in warehousing can be part of a complete restructuring of the WMS. While a great company brand can get the person interested, you'll increase the acceptance rate when the actual job ties to some bigger growth plans. These points are really good! As a leading recruiter in the Supply Chain sector I can testify to the effectiveness of these 2 points 24
25
Attraction strategies – Job Quality or $$$
As long as the compensation is fair, you have a good chance to consistently hire top people, assuming the other factors are positive. Don't sell the job on compensation; sell it on the chance to make a big short term impact with an opportunity to grow at a faster rate than all competing jobs. Make the job the differentiator, not the compensation. Some other company can always pay more. 25
26
Attraction strategies – Employ & Develop Potential
Many employers struggle to identify the so called “ideal candidate” for their open positions (old style recruiting). Look instead for transferable Skills & Competencies Employ people with the right mind-set and attitude to develop their skill sets and make the job a success Develop your talent through real internal and external training, not just lip service Develop a real Talent Retention strategy to include structured career development, meaningful assessment processes, relevant KPI’s linked to bonus schemes, improved participation, enjoyable but challenging work environment Hire for attitude, train for skills 26
27
Attraction strategies – Recruitment issues
Be professional in the Recruitment Process - top people are looking for leaders & mentors to work under so a professional interview with high standards is essential Managers who understand the real job must be involved in the recruitment process. Everyone who interviews the candidate must assess them against the real job needs. Candidates will be trying to assess quality of the employer Empower the Hiring Manager to handle the offer process professionally. Keep the process moving, long delays = lost candidates Be prepared to negotiate to secure the best people 27
28
Attraction strategies – Summary
Attraction Strategy – do you have one? Competition for candidates – it’s all about job quality Candidate expectations are changing – not just $$$ The “ideal fit” maybe not achievable – look for transferable skills & competencies Look to developing local talent who will be the workforce of tomorrow, develop real careers for Nationals, collaborate with Colleges & Universities 28
29
Attraction strategies – Summary
Develop a clear Talent Retention strategy and develop Leadership at all levels Be professional in the recruitment process & keep the process moving (delays = lost candidates) Use a professional recruiter with industry sector experience – not just the cheapest! Does anyone here know that your company or organisation has a defined “Talent Attraction” or “Talent Retention” strategy? 29

Leadership…………….. Are my leaders capable of executing our new strategy? Can our leaders drive operational excellence ? How do I get them ready for the future? Have we enough leaders at each level of the business? (Bench Strength) Knee jerk reaction to staffing costs in the last year Objective should be to have the right quality of people managing the business – not just the right head count 30
