When Do I Need a People Strategy?
The challenge for leaders has never been more daunting yet exciting. The pace of change is accelerating; significant uncertainty reigns socially, politically, economically, and organizationally; employee expectations have evolved, and new ways of working have emerged for many employees. These circumstances make leading teams and organizations harder than ever before.
An integrated people strategy is critical to staying competitive in the talent arena.
You might be asking, "what is a people strategy?" Your people strategy is the foundation upon which your programs, policies, and people priorities are built.
It's anchored in your business strategy.
It is a comprehensive plan to identify specific talent imperatives and the integrated actions required to achieve your business goals.
It's a living document that has measures, is reviewed at least quarterly, and is modified as circumstances and priorities shift.
