Our research suggests that few organisations understand that the true financial cost to their business of failing to master the potential of their people, is billions of pounds and dollars each year in wasted energy and untapped enthusiasm, leaving many ‘opportunities’ for improvement lost. Even fewer organisations have come to terms with measuring this human cost and taking action. This article provides examples of clear strategies to maximise the potential of your most important asset or resource – your people.
This article also describes the unfortunate position of retaining too few ‘high fliers’ and too many ‘deadwood or ‘question marks’ thus creating a low performance culture. It also high lights the failure to nurture ‘new blood’ and ‘problem children’, while at the same time neglecting the ‘loyal backbone’ of the organisation.
…………….We really should be designing strategies to make the most of our people, instead of applying archaic management principles. Many staff see their role as no more than a mundane 9-5 job which meets only their basic needs. So it’s hardly surprising that the contribution and creativity displayed at work is not always the highest level.
