Almost Every Single Organizational Problem Can Be Traced To Either Management or Human Resources.
Ultimately, every organization having challenges with staff turnover, staff retention, customer retention and recruiting can point the fingers and blame one of two things within their organization: Human Resources (the people they hire) and Management (how they manage them).
The truth is, what we’ve come to know as conventional Management practices and conventional Human Resources practices are out of date. And when you operate from old ideas in hiring and management, you end up falling behind.
You're not hiring and managing the same people you did twenty years ago and giving them the same technology as twenty years ago, so why are you still allowing outdated management and human resources practices to feed the most important asset of your organization's performance: people?
What Holds Organizations Back?
What ultimately holds almost every organization back is simply the people they hire and how those people are managed. Adversely, what propels an organization forward is exactly the same: the people they hire and how they’re managed. Adversely, leave this without addressing it swiftly, and you end up with a deeply-ingrained "culture" problem.
Culture Is Important
In a recent survey, 89% of senior executives believe that corporate culture has become as important as strategy to business success. If you don’t have the right culture, you won’t attract the right people doing the right things.
At BGi, we believe that when you pay big money for expertise from outside resources, you had better be getting ideas and strategies that are relevant and appropriate in today's market. The culture of your organization depends on it.
Yesterday's Ideas Are Costing You Money
We all know professional “speakers” that if they were to open a book written in the last five years, they would have to scrap everything they’re currently preaching because it’s old, outdated and just doesn’t work anymore. Consultants and management trainers who regurgitate old concepts built on hierarchy, bureaucracy, planning and control should refund their paychecks.
A Time For New Ideas
This is a new time, a new market, with new faces employing new ideas, new concepts and new values. And the advice you get from your outside sources should be reflective of that.
At Burns Group International (BGi), we are at the forefront of future trends.
Consistently we have predicted HR and management shifts as much as two years out - because we do our research and we have this unique notion of distinguishing ourselves from our competitors. Middle-of-the-pack is not where we want to be nor do we want our clients to be there either.
Here Is Our Offer To You
That's one of the reasons we offer our No-Cost Workplace Discovery Survey - an online survey that can be completed in about 10 minutes. Have either a sample group of your employees or the whole organization take the anonymous survey and find out whether there is something that needs to be addressed.
We absolutely share ALL of the responses with you - every little detail. This information gives you the insight
Once you are in possession of the findings, if there's something that needs to be addressed and we can help, great! If we can't help because it's out of our range of expertise (yes, we will tell you that too), we can likely point you in the direction of someone who can help you better.to make a decision based on fact - not supposition.
Your Future Started Yesterday
As you look to the future of your own organization, think about Building A Better Workplace by building better hiring practices, better management practices, better cohesion and better culture. Mark our words: the successful workplaces of the future will be distinguished by the people they attract and how they manage those people once they're hired.
