Client Case Study

Situation – Improve Employee Retention Capabilities

Challenged by the war for talent and high growth expectations, the new CEO called for a strategic initiative that would increase the attraction, retention, and development of top talent in strategic and hard to replace role to meet growth targets.  In response, HR needed to improve employee retention capabilities by:

Complications

  • The current Talent Management Strategy was outdated and not showing a measurable impact on the company’s ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain top talent in key roles.
  • The talent acquisition process was transactional, siloed by function, and reactive.
  • The succession planning pipeline and promotion processes were inconsistent, biased, and did put the right leaders, in the right roles, at the right time to be successful.

Implications

  • If the company did not improve employee retention capabilities, hiring and promotion would continue to derail strategic initiatives and negatively impact employee engagement and retention.

Approach

  1. Map desired leadership capabilities to leadership simulation assessment capabilities and behaviors
  2. Align simulation language with company’s strategy, culture, language, and models
  3. Schedule leadership assessments
  4. Complete leadership assessment prework
  5. Conduct virtual assessment
  6. Receive and debrief results against standards and benchmarks

Results

  • High assessment scorers were 6x more likely to retain their employees than low scorers.
  • Basing hiring and promotion decisions on the assessment results led to 15% increase in employee retention rates.
  • Hiring and promotion managers received broad insight into each candidate and visibility into recruitment trends and challenges.
