Position your organisation for success

Finders keepers, losers weepers. It may be an old school yard taunt but it still hits a raw nerve with human resources mangers desperate to find committed skilled staff.

In fact resourcing has become such an issue for organisations that employing an expert resourcing and retention professional is viewed as providing an organisation a real competitive advantage. The great news for HR experts is that implementing innovative human resources programs is becoming extremely lucrative, with salaries on the rise.

So what are HR professionals doing to earn six figure packages?

They are certainly providing more than in-house recruitment services. Today top-flight HR executives are moving into the organizational development space. By focusing on a range of talent sourcing, career development and management, attraction, selection and retention activities they are enabling businesses to grow and plan for the future with the confidence that there is a secure talent pipeline in place.

Examples of strategies employed include:

  • Managing workforce planning
  • Identifying pools of talent and how to attract them
  • Implementing strategies to get the most from existing employees
  • Aligning an organisations value proposition to the interests of target employees
  • Conducting employee engagement surveys and using results to implement retention programs
  • Developing and conducting induction and orientation programs.

Workplace diversity, wellbeing programs and internal communications are also key focus areas.

With many organisations appointing a senior HR professional to their executive management teams, experience in understanding a business needs and translating these into talent solutions makes for a high valued employee.
