How Data Helps Retain High Performing Employees
The current method of organizational design is falling behind the needs of the modern-day workplace. This is made all the more urgent because employees are on the move. It’s time to get more analytical in your approach to retaining your high-performing employees so you can ride out the ‘great resignation’.
In episode 1 of the second season of the People and Performance podcast, Chris and Bill are joined by Rupert Morrison, CEO at orgvue, a global HR and organizational planning company that believes that the brightest business leaders need to “design for disruption and turn it into a competitive advantage”.
Most organizations invest 90-100% of HR resources in operations and only 10% in data and planning. Furthermore, too many CEOs make the majority of their decisions based on HR data! Rupert believes the current mindset in many boardrooms “needs to change if organizations want to be forward-proof and prosperous“.
The pandemic showed us that organizations can’t stay still if they want to remain successful. Companies need to continuously adapt and evolve.
It’s not easy to change an organization’s vision and practices but it can really pay off. This episode will include discussion of the why and how organizational planning and analysis keeps business agile and set up to grow in sustainable ways. In fact, as part of today’s conversation, Rupert is going to share findings showing a 2-fold increase in productivity when certain org design approaches are adopted.
