Developing graduate talent that can make a measurable and lasting positive impact on organisational culture and business
success – but it requires a carefully thought out investment strategy.
The document discusses CenturyLink's people management strategies under Managing Director Gery Messer. Some key points:
- Messer prioritized building a diverse team and ensuring the right person was in each role after becoming MD in 2013.
- Following an acquisition and rebranding, CenturyLink launched an aggressive PR campaign in 2015 to boost its employer branding as it was not well known.
- The company uses a performance management system called MyLink to set goals, provide feedback, and evaluate employees. Leadership development programs are offered at all levels.
- CenturyLink focuses on communication, a learning culture, and work-life "fit" rather than balance to engage and retain talent. It also emphasizes a family
Here is an overview of the most important elements which make a difference at “Top Companies for Leaders.”
Strategy - There is a clear link between the strategy of the company and the strategy of leadership development. Successful organizations closely examine which talent programs are needed and which interventions are necessary to realize their company strategy.
Involvement - The responsibility of talent development lies at the top of the organization, and top management is also actively involved in the development of future management. The top managers themselves are frequently active as mentors, coaches or trainers, and frequently share their experiences and insights. Often the CEO plays a prominent, active role in training or action learning, i.e., using high potentials coupled with experienced leaders on essential questions. Also, CEO’s are involved in the programs by means of internal communication.
Talent Pipeline – Talent development is considered as a “mission-critical” company process. The best performing companies see the filling of the talent pipeline organization-wide as a necessity. They use sharp definitions of talent (high potentials), measurable criteria and a rigorous process for to determine who belongs in the talent pool and who does not. The outcomes of this are measured with KPIs.
Ongoing Processes – The Top Companies for Leaders have incorporated management development in their business cycles. The companies think about ongoing, recurring development processes instead of one-time initiatives. Talent management has a high priority in these organizations. Much attention is given to identifying high potentials, determination of specific career paths for these high potentials, coaching and their active contribution to training and development programs. High potentials are assisted in their development by means of training, e-learning, coaching and job rotation, as well as action learning. Thanks to this approach, leadership and company development evolve continuously together.
Behavior – In these Top Companies, leaders are significantly more aware of which behavior is expected of them. This also becomes apparent in all aspects of the organization: performance management (leaders are rewarded for the degree desired behaviors are demonstrated), promotion decisions (people are only promoted when the desired behaviors are shown), recruitment and selection (leadership behavior is an essential selection criterion) and communication from the top of the organization.
Critical Objective - High potential talent is considered as a strategic advantage and the development of this talent is and the development of a robust talent pipeline is considered a critical objective for the organization’s top management.
Leadership Programs – Only leadership programs with high added value for talent development are organized.

In a period of rapid change and increasing complexity, the winners will be those who can keep their rate of learning greater than the rate of change and greater than their competition or their L > C.
It's time to reimagine the CPA profession around the concepts of talent development and learning. New skills, new ways of learning, and new thinking. The need for a strategic and systematic approach to talent development is already underway in many high-performing organizations. Are you ready for these sweeping, even disruptive trends?
This presentation covers the latest trends and what we see as "next" practices emerging and how we, at the Business Learning Institute, are working to help CPA firms, corporations, government, and nonprofits with a new approach to talent development and learning designed to get two things: (1) business results and (2) engaged employees who are willing to give you their discretionary efforts!
With CMI's full suite of leadership and management apprenticeships, you can offer your management apprentices a recognised professional development pathway ultimately leading to Chartered Manager status.
Human resources departments are increasingly tasked with ensuring their companies have a strong pipeline of black talent to drive transformation and address inequality. This requires HR to play a leading role in recruiting top executives and developing succession plans. As the current generation of white male managers retires, companies need candidates with 10-15 years of experience, which South Africa is still developing due to its apartheid history. To build this pipeline, HR must form partnerships with schools and colleges to proactively develop skills for the future workforce, benefiting both companies and the country. A recent report found that 42% of global business leaders believe their HR teams are underperforming at moving companies' talent forward.

A crisis of competence: The 'skills gap' and what it means for businessBill Sheridan, CAE
Many young professionals are unprepared to meet the challenges posed by a changing and complex world. The reason? The “skills gap.” There’s a chasm between the skills they need to succeed and those they actually possess. Bill Sheridan examines the skills you will need to succeed going forward … and how to get them.
This document provides an overview of talent management strategies and best practices. It includes sections on definitions of talent, core talents, assumptions about talent management, individual development plans, organizational effectiveness, linking rewards to talent management, and tailoring talent strategies to different contexts. The key topics covered are identifying critical versus missing talents, focusing on potential over experience, aligning talent management with business strategy, developing individual plans, and integrating rewards with performance and talent management.
This document discusses trust between middle managers and senior leadership in organizations. Some key points:
1) Only 36% of middle managers say they trust their business leader to a great extent, and trust declines in larger organizations.
2) Middle managers perceive their organizations as less transparent and rewarding of openness than senior leaders do.
3) High-trust managers, who trust their organization greatly, rate their organization higher on behaviors like transparency and honesty.
4) Middle managers play a vital role in building trust but often don't feel their role is valued or supported, and want leaders who communicate openly and honestly.
Unemployment – and underemployment – has been one of the most significant problems for university graduates and their non-graduate peers alike since the financial crisis of 2008. The unemployment rate for young people has dwarfed that among older people, running at a level nearly three times as high – the largest gap in more than 20 years.

Assimilating new hires into your culture is straightforward when the employees work in a central location. However, what happens when the new hires work remotely, either at a global location or home office, or the employee works on a different schedule? Can an organization engage and train new hires during onboarding, regardless of location and circumstance?

Social Recruiting, Talent Acquistion and Recruitment in 2015 by Maria Trivellato, Autodesk EMEA - Presented at the Social Recruiting Conference 2011 in Paris
The document discusses how multinational companies (MNCs) in China are prioritizing leadership development programs to promote local talent into senior roles. It notes that MNCs are replacing expatriates with local hires due to lower costs and better understanding of the local market. However, local talent often lacks skills in English, strategic thinking, and understanding of corporate culture. As a result, MNCs are designing more sophisticated and tiered leadership programs using methods like overseas rotations and real projects. The goal is to develop local leaders while also improving retention of top employees through commitments to professional rewards.

TRAFFIC - Thomas-Rettig-Lawrence -FINAL camera ready (1)Donna Thomas
This document summarizes the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. project, which is a web service that analyzes real-time traffic data to notify commuters of potential traffic delays. The project was developed by students at the University of Maryland Baltimore County for a class project on service-oriented architecture. It uses traffic data from TRANSCOM to identify congestion patterns and send alerts to registered users. The system was designed to be scalable and elastic and hosted on the university's cloud-based computing cluster.
This document describes an automatic traffic management system that uses vibration sensors and a microcontroller. The system senses vehicle vibrations using sensors under the road. An analog-to-digital converter converts this to digital data for the microcontroller. The microcontroller then programs the timer to display the appropriate green light time based on sensed traffic density. LED lights are then controlled by the timer to automatically manage traffic flow. This system aims to avoid accidents from signal jumping and reduce wasted time by better adapting light times to real traffic conditions.

The document discusses the importance of maintaining an accurate business case for outsourcing agreements throughout the life of the contract. It notes that assumptions in the original business case will often change during transition and implementation, but the business case is often not updated.

How to Build and Maintain a Premier OrganizationLucas Group
An important trend facing organizations across all industries is bridging the knowledge gap between outgoing employees and those who remain or are hired to fulfill their work. Despite a stubbornly persistent unemployment rate in the U.S., attracting and retaining people who can positively impact your company remains a considerable challenge to building and maintaining a premier organization. Triggered by Baby Boomer retirements, companies must develop systematic ways to attract the best, retain the best, and hold on to the knowledge that the best contribute to their organizations.

It outlines several trends contributing to this complex landscape, including increased competition, need for flexibility and knowledge workers, outsourcing, diverse workforces, and changing customer demands. The main challenges for leaders are learning to navigate high volatility and uncertainty, while dealing with organizational transformations that break traditional models. Success requires understanding these trends, cultivating knowledge as a competitive advantage, and ensuring workforces can adapt to constant change.
Attract, Retain, and Grow your people to grow your impact and the role of lea...The Pathway Group
The title "Attract, Retain, and Grow Your People: Maximizing Impact and the Importance of Effective Leadership" highlights the essential elements of building a successful organization. By focusing on attracting, retaining, and nurturing talented individuals, companies can expand their influence and achieve meaningful outcomes. Effective leaders play a crucial role in this process, guiding and empowering their teams to reach their full potential. By prioritizing the development of their people, businesses can drive growth, enhance their impact, and create a thriving work environment.
The document discusses an approach to identifying and developing effective leaders called the P3 Leader model. The model focuses on three key areas:
1) Effective leadership outcomes that measure a leader's impact on talent and business performance.
2) Effective leadership enablers that assess inherent personal attributes that indicate potential for leadership success.
3) Effective leadership capabilities that can be developed to accelerate performance, unleash talent, and dare to lead.
The model provides a systematic way for organizations to build strong leadership pipelines by predicting potential leaders, developing the right capabilities, and measuring outcomes related to talent and business performance.
Matthew Owenby, Chief Human Resources Officer at Aflac, believes companies should focus on retaining existing employees through continual learning and development rather than hiring new staff. With more millennials entering the workforce, companies must create a constant learning environment and invest in employees' development to retain them. At Aflac, employees can access career development resources and work with coaches. The company evaluates employees' skills and connects them to opportunities to further develop within Aflac's culture.
The document discusses career management and provides guidance on developing a career plan. It explains that career management is a lifelong process of investing in one's career goals through lifelong learning and networking. It then outlines the key steps in career management: self-assessment to understand one's interests and skills, career exploration to investigate different career options, and developing job search strategies to apply one's training and education. The document emphasizes that career management requires ongoing assessment and adaptation over a person's working life.

The keynote presentation discusses the changing landscape of talent management. It covers six main pillars of talent management: recruitment, learning and development, goals and performance management, career development, rewards and compensation, and succession planning. Each pillar has transitioned from traditional, organization-focused approaches to new, employee-centered models that prioritize experiences, skills development, collaboration, diversity, and flexibility. The presentation argues that these shifts are necessary for organizations to attract, engage, and retain top talent in today's dynamic business environment.
Striving to make succession planning 2x faster? Aiming to bring the risk of promoting the wrong person to 0? Or targeting to be a future-proof organization by identifying skill gaps and training needs early on?

Attracting, retaining and
managing top talent
The modern day business landscape is unique in its appearance.
Senior leaders and their employees are faced with a complex
environment with a backdrop of almost unprecedented
technological change, challenging economic conditions and
ever increasing sources of competition. There is no doubt that
finding and keeping the right people, skills and capabilities is
crucial to achieving business agility and ultimately sustainable
competitive advantage.
Due to the phasing out of the UK’s default retirement age,
organisations and their employees can face a reality that
includes five generations within the modern workplace,
including a generation of graduates and young people,
many of whom are demotivated by their lack of opportunities.
Business leaders must answer the question as to whether the
traditional business models, cultures and working methods
that are so familiar to the leaders of today are ready and able to
transform for the modern employee. Put another way, how do
employers attract, harness and retain the native skills, methods
and mindsets of each generation to effectively contribute to this
transformation?
After hosting events across the UK with a range of expert
panel members and senior leaders, plus research of over 1,000
professionals, we have developed this guide. It is designed to
provide senior leaders, line managers and HR professionals with
practical advice for attracting, retaining and managing multiple
generations in the workplace.

Feedback from leading organisations highlight that
employers are struggling to respond to the realities of a
multigenerational workplace and in some cases, believe
that there is no longer a one size fits all when it comes to
attracting, retaining and engaging top talent across the
generations.
Although our research of over 1,000 professionals
supports that Gen Y do have higher expectations and are
more likely to leave a role if they aren’t satisfied, when it
comes to attraction and retention the importance of key
factors highlighted in this document were similar across
the generations.
Top tips
Communication methods, working environment,
management styles, organisational reputation,
clear progression and training & development are all
necessities for attracting and retaining top talent, but
they must be tailored to the needs of each employee
to really engage them.
These top tips have been developed to provide practical
advice on attracting retaining and managing multiple

Induction & onboarding
First impressions count - over 85% of employees
expect a formal induction when starting a new job
and 89% believe an induction is a good indicator of
what to expect from their employer.
• Invest time in developing a structured induction and
onboarding programme, but consider the different generations
in your audience.
• Create an induction experience rather than a presentation
- long gone are the days when employees expect to just turn
up and listen. Use interactive sessions to engage them in
your company.
• Arrange a pre-start meeting, lunch or a social outing for a
chance to meet colleagues.
• Use creative media - send facebook links and an introduction
video before a new employee’s first day.
• Have a ‘graduation’ process when induction is completed
- sharing experiences as part of an engagement and learning
process is key for Gen Y.
• Throughout the onboarding process use the best leaders as
talent scouts, encourage them to identify top talent.
Be conscious of who you choose though... are they the right
leader for the employees you are trying to connect with?
Invest time in developing a
structured induction and
onboarding programme,
professionals have left a role as
a result of a poor induction.

Communication methods
Communication methods need to appeal to all
generations in the workforce. Vary your methods
regularly so that you reach a wide range of people,
as one type of communication per message may not
be enough.
• Employees are less likely to read emails - try using other
channels for delivering internal messages such as Facebook,
twitter, and company intranet/website.
• Hold quarterly networking meetings for staff to attend and
mingle with senior figures, including the CEO.
• Set up committees and groups who are active in the business
and that new joiners can get involved with.
• Set up ‘Fresh Perspective’ meetings for junior staff to
brainstorm ideas and give feedback.
• Approach your workforce as internal customers – segment
each generation as they have different needs, understand your
employees’ working styles and communication preferences.
Give them a choice of delivery.
• Consider replacing annual reviews with real time feedback
from peers and management.
Set up “Fresh Perspective”
meetings for junior staff
to brainstorm ideas and
give feedback.

Career progression
Just under a third of Gen Y would leave a role
without a clear long-term career path. Gen Y has a
reputation for moving around more, but is it because
organisations aren’t providing a clear career path
for them? Opportunities for development are crucial
across all generations, however the speed at which
each generation expects to progress differs (Gen X
& Y expect significantly faster progression than
Baby Boomers).
• Ensure you introduce career development early enough to
employees.
• Understand each individual and their aspirations and check
that your career paths allow individuals to progress at the
correct pace for them.
• If there are no direct line promotion opportunities, perhaps
they can progress elsewhere. Look across the organisation to
find development opportunities and projects.
• Create movement through cross-department talent pools - you
will need a strong talent acquisition pipeline to facilitate this
and avoid resistance from team managers.
• Focus on skillset and give employees accountability and
exposure through projects and recognition - let them become
a hero or heroine.
• Set up mentoring opportunities and expose new employees
to a wide range of people, set up work groups and share
challenges. Make them feel like future leaders and valued
employees.

Training & development
Over a quarter of Gen Y would not accept a job
without training and personal development
opportunities, compared to nearer one fifth of
Baby Boomers. Nearly a third of Gen Y and nearly a
quarter of Baby Boomers will leave a role without it.
Gen Y is about potential not experience - so how can
we create opportunities for different generations to
help develop each other?
• Identify what skills are crucial to your organisation’s core
competencies and provide training and development
opportunities in these areas.
• Facilitating knowledge sharing and opportunities to
experience new things across the generations is a simple way
of providing two way learning between employees, mutual
respect and understanding.
• Choosing projects for employees based on their development
needs and being explicit about how new projects will
contribute to personal development will demonstrate
investment in your workforce.
• Ensure you are providing the right type of learning & development
styles (not just the traditional workshop or classroom method).
Consider e-learning, research and pre course work.
• Set up taskforces in local offices to address feedback from
employee surveys; these workgroups can be responsible for
affecting change in many aspects of the business for example
career management or team collaboration.
•Try reverse mentoring - Can your senior leaders learn from your
new recruits?

Working environment
Gen Y in particular expressed the desire to be
themselves in and out of work, whilst one tenth of
Baby Boomers would leave a role without flexible
working. Changes in modern lifestyles have resulted
in a disconnect between the traditional working
environment and latest attitudes and working styles.
What can organisations do to address this?
• Challenge the status quo - use pilots and trials to reduce
resistance to new ideas and contribute to culture change.
Lose tradition in the ‘way we work’.
• Flexible working is key - blurred personal and professional
boundaries are becoming the norm. Give employees flexibility,
freedom and trust to deliver. Is your company ready to change,
both culturally and technologically?
• Gen X and Y will be the first that have to look after parents
and children, support employees to achieve home/work
life balance. e.g. give a maximum time per day or week for
personal internet/social media access - this will reduce stress
if employees work late or at home.
• Create a trust culture - Don’t treat employees as if they will
abuse trust and rather than setting policies on what not to
do, start with organisational values and create expectations.
Younger generations want to own policies not be governed by
rules, so if you need rules, make it fun.
Flexible working is key. Is your
company ready to change, both

Leadership &
management styles
When it comes to staying in a job, a massive 50%
of Baby Boomers would leave a role if they had a
bad relationship with their direct line manager,
compared to one third of Gen Y. Senior leaders and
middle managers play an important role in managing
multiple generations - what strategies have you
deployed to up-skill this group to rise to this
challenge? Are your leaders nimble & agile enough
to manage different generations?
• Don’t allow the confidence exhibited by Gen Y to be
misconstrued as arrogance - instead find ways to harness and
utilise that confidence. Become coaches, give feedback in the
moment, empower and provide independence, freedom and
mentoring.
• Be accessible - traditional middle management feel the need to
shelter Gen Y and protect the executive team, but they need to
allow transparency and accessibility.
• Review the interview process - traditionally interviews were
interviewer focused with an expectation that all applicants
were eager and willing to take the job upon offer. Now,
especially for Gen X & Y, it is both interviewer and interviewee
evaluating each other.
• Commitment starts from the top – it is crucial to ensure key
performance indicators around employee engagement are
measured, with engagement linked to bonuses.
• Acknowledge that there isn’t one right way. This requires an
appetite for senior leaders to challenge their own mindsets,
the culture, methods and working styles of the business to
better accommodate them.
Embrace the confidence of Generation Y!
Ensure leaders involved genuinely care
Listen & don’t get defensive
Be transparent & follow up on things
Understand that Generation Y have
the same basic needs

Organisational
reputation
Although Baby Boomers are more demanding in this
area than Gen Y, reputation is a key factor across the
generations when deciding whether to apply for a
role. Environmental consciousness and community
spirit are a higher priority for Gen Y with around
one tenth who would not apply for a role if their
employer was not actively pursuing the same causes
as their prospective candidate.
• Support personal and corporate CSR - Create a method for
employees to run their own initiatives and generate ideas
for company-wide participation. Take the opportunity to link
activity to corporate reputation and promote through your
communication channels.
• Does your company have the right employee value
proposition? Ensure job descriptions and all communications
throughout the recruitment process promote this. Ensure your
leaders send the right message to prospective candidates at
interview.
• Create roles for employees such as ‘community ambassadors’
who can help you attract talent and build a positive reputation
within the community.
• Run open days and invite school children in to the business to
learn about careers. Select ambassadors to present in local
schools on business and career opportunities.
• Fund university courses; including running the syllabus,
providing lecturers and employing graduates of the course.
• Remember, reflecting society (and generations) in front of
clients is good for business.

Our research shows that communication methods,
working environment, management styles, organisational
reputation, clear progression and training & development
are all necessities for attracting and retaining top
talent, but they must be tailored to the needs of each
employee to really engage them as individuals and across
generations.
The important thing for leaders of today, is to recognise
the need to adapt - or risk losing out on the talent
pools created by the newest generation of employees.
A willingness to challenge the status quo and
acknowledging that there isn’t one right way is key.
To conclude...
This requires an appetite to adapt the culture, methods
and working styles of your organisation to better
accommodate the individual needs of all employees.
Utilise both old and new methods of engagement to retain
and attract your top talent. Ensure that you have our top
tips in place as a starting point and consider new tools
that will work for your organisation.
Be open to new ideas and vary your methods of
communication regularly to ensure you capture the widest
possible audience. Most importantly don’t stop evolving.
