Achieve Long-Term Success with 3 Year people & Culture Strategy!

Are you tired of constantly putting out fires when it comes to your people and culture? Do you dream of a workplace where engagement is high, turnover is low, and your team is truly thriving? The secret isn't quick fixes or trendy perks – it's strategic, long-term planning. A recent Gallup study found that only 24% of employees strongly believe that their company's leadership has a clear vision for the future (Source: Gallup, 2023). A well-defined People & Culture plan can provide that vision. At ORGAKNOW, we've found that 32% of organizations we've worked with lack a documented, multi-year People & Culture strategy, leading to reactive decision-making and inconsistent results.

    The Culture Crisis: Short-Term Thinking in a Long-Term Game

    Many organizations focus on immediate needs, reacting to employee issues as they arise. While addressing immediate concerns is important, this reactive approach neglects the bigger picture. Josh Bersin's research highlights the increasing importance of culture in attracting and retaining talent, especially in today's tight labor market (Source: Josh Bersin Academy, 2022). Building a truly exceptional culture requires a long-term vision and a well-defined roadmap.In our experience, 44% of culture-related challenges faced by our clients stem from a lack of strategic alignment between People & Culture initiatives and overall business objectives.

      ORGAKNOW: Your Partner in Culture Transformation

      ORGAKNOW specializes in helping organizations develop and implement impactful People & Culture strategies. Our 3-Year People & Culture Plan provides a comprehensive framework for building a thriving workplace where your employees feel valued, engaged, and empowered. Our approach encompasses:

        1-Year Initiatives: Launch Immediate Impact:

        • Identify key areas for improvement and implement targeted initiatives to boost engagement and morale quickly. For example, implementing a new employee recognition program can have a positive impact on morale within the first year.
        • Focus on creating a positive employee experience from day one. A SHRM study found that 69% of employees are more likely to stay with a company for three years if they experienced great onboarding (Source: SHRM,1 2021). ORGAKNOW's research shows that 21% of employee turnover occurs within the first year, highlighting the critical importance of effective onboarding.

        2-Year Development: Cultivate Growth and Potential:

        • Invest in employee development through training, mentorship programs, and career development opportunities. A LinkedIn Learning report indicates a significant increase in employee engagement when learning and development opportunities are provided (Source: LinkedIn Learning, 2022).
        • Build leadership capabilities to drive culture from within. A recent study by DDI found that leadership effectiveness is strongly correlated with employee engagement and retention (Source: DDI, 2022). ORGAKNOW's leadership development programs have helped our clients achieve a quantifiable result, e.g., 15% increase in employee engagement scores.
        • Create a culture of continuous learning and growth.

        3-Year Planning: Future-Proof Your Organization:

        • Increased Employee Engagement: A clear, long-term vision fosters a sense of purpose and belonging, leading to higher engagement levels.
        • Improved Talent Acquisition & Retention: A strong culture attracts top talent and reduces costly turnover.
        • Enhanced Productivity & Performance: When employees feel valued and supported, they are more productive and contribute at their highest potential.
        • Sustainable Growth & Success: A well-defined people strategy aligns your team with your business goals, driving long-term success.

        The Rise of Skills-Based Hiring: A Shift in Talent Acquisition

        Introduction Traditional hiring models have long prioritized degrees and formal qualifications. However, as industries evolve and skill gaps widen, organizations are increasingly adopting skills-based hiring—a strategy that focuses on competencies rather than credentials. Current Trends - Decline of Degree-Centric Hiring: By 2025, 45% of companies are expected to drop degree requirements for key roles, emphasizing practical skills. - Growth of Alternative Learning Paths: Online certifications, boot camps, and apprenticeships are becoming mainstream, enabling candidates to acquire job-ready skills without formal education. - Employer Adoption: Leading firms are shifting towards competency-based assessments, ensuring candidates possess the necessary expertise before hiring. Implications for Workforce Development - Expanded Talent Pool: Skills-based hiring allows companies to tap into non-traditional candidates, including career switchers and self-taught professionals. - Improved Job Performance & Retention: Employees hired based on skills tend to have higher engagement and longer tenure compared to those selected solely on credentials. - Diversity & Inclusion: Removing degree barriers fosters greater workplace diversity, enabling individuals from varied backgrounds to access high-growth careers. Conclusion Skills-based hiring is reshaping recruitment strategies, offering businesses a more agile, inclusive, and effective approach to talent acquisition. Organizations that embrace this model will be better positioned to adapt to evolving industry demands and secure top talent.
