BEYOND THE BOOK

Organizations that grow their people grow their business. And employee engagement and retention thrive in cultures that are truly talent focused. So how do you make it happen?

Building and maintaining a talent-focused culture requires a process, not a single event. It also requires a shared responsibility among senior leaders, managers, and employees.

It’s not enough to provide key players with a model and some tools. You need the right model. You must align all the key players and cultivate true partnerships with a framework that flexes to your needs. And the tools must be just as practical as they are effective.

We’ve continued our research about what engages and retains talent (visit www.keepem.com) and applied those findings to the development of a full range of systemic solutions, assessments, tools, and learning experiences offered in the latest modalities for today’s modern workforce, including the following:

• TalentEdge™, a consulting process that provides a step-by-step flexible strategy tailored to your organization’s specific engagement and retention needs. Built on wide experience, it includes recommendations for diagnosing, designing, and delivering as well as sustaining the entire effort and tracking results.

• Love ’Em or Lose ’Em^®: Retention and Engagement for Managers, a learning solution that refocuses managers’ attitudes about talent. It is based on the concepts of Love ’Em or Lose ’Em: Getting Good People to Stay. Managers assess their own talent risks and prepare for powerful “stay interviews” as they build their individualized engagement and retention plans.

• SatisfACTION Power^®, a learning solution that provides employees with the best concepts and strategies of Love It, Don’t Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work. It helps employees identify ways to make the jobs they have, the jobs they love.

• The EngagementEdge^™ Survey, an online assessment that offers diagnostic insights to target your specific engagement and retention efforts, while providing a convenient way to measure organizational change.

• The Love ’Em^® at Work Web Portal, a web-based portal for manager workshop participants to access information, tools and thought-provoking ideas to sustain their learning experience.

• The Talent Risk Assessment Matrix™, an interactive tool to help managers assess direct reports on their value to company and risk of departure, and provides a customized list of actionable strategies for lowering or eliminating the risk of departure.
