Information, communication and telecoms (ICT) is the fastest changing major industry sector on the planet. No one knows for sure what’s around the corner. But it won’t look the same as today. ICT has helped every industry sector produce more with less. That’s change. The link between ICT and the economy has never been greater. Making ICT more cyclical. And less predictable.
So now managing your own business change has become as important as advising your clients on theirs. Which means adapting faster. Communicating better. Devising the right strategies. Having bright talent work on the things that matter today and tomorrow. Not the stuff that used to matter.
Talent Management
Having the right people in the right place right now (talent management) is what differentiates organisations that exploit change from those that just adapt to change. Getfeedback helps human resource professionals attract and retain the people needed to manage today’s issues and solve tomorrow’s problems. Among other approaches, this can involve mapping behaviours and cultural fit using selected tools and then helping align these to meet business needs. It almost always involves help making a financial case, measuring results and getting feedback from the business. Getfeedback is helping a successful, large ICT start-up transform deploy and align its talent based on fit.
Recruiters wrestle for tight talent pool
Getfeedback puts the tools, the processes and the know-how in place to recruit new talent against agreed profiles with confidence. We then help you measure the benefit of attracting the right talent, so you can make your case to the wider business.
In ICT there is a predicted 25% increase in demand for talented people. Coupled with a shrinking population of knowledge workers entering the sector, this means an acute skills shortage is on the cards.
One Getfeedback client reported a 95% offer acceptance rate when it empirically identified and then selected its future leaders using our assessment centres. Making the talent shortage that little bit more acute for everyone else.
Keeping the best and brightest
Talented individuals increasingly choose a “portfolio career” in ICT, cherry picking the best opportunities to advance their own profile. Whilst attracting this pool of talent is a real challenge, giving these individuals a compelling reason to stay in the business is harder still. Getfeedback’s approach helps ICT organisations engage talented individuals in their businesses through a variety of means, including employee surveys. Tools like our 360 performance management system help identify high-fliers, so you can effectively plan succession and invest in your best.
