Strong legal teams

Labour shortages at historic high

Shortages on the employment market are high – so high, in fact, that they pose a threat to many companies’ operations and growth. Luckily, it is still possible to find the right people, but not necessarily by conventional methods, such as placing a job ad. Intensive and specialised efforts are needed to first of all get the right candidates on your radar

The war for talent has just begun

Identifying potential employees is one matter, but once that’s done, how do you get them on board? From the many conversations we have with candidates, we have detected new patterns of expectations from future employees. If companies want to keep being able to recruit new talent, they have to acknowledge this new reality and change course by offering additional benefits.

Stopping the talent bleed

Finding good employees is hard, but losing them can be even harder. They might get poached by another company, or they might actively search for new opportunities themselves if their expectations are not being met, or if working conditions are better elsewhere. By ‘better working conditions’ we don’t mean only financial and material conditions, but also the less tangible factors that make people feel engaged, accepted and respected. Those are factors that you, like every other company, can control.

Effective teams make all the difference

If you are a manager responsible for a team, you must have been recruited on the basis of your expertise and experience. That is a matter of course. But how do you make sure your team is working at optimum levels too? How do you manage those imperceptible, yet important interactions between all team members in a constructive and efficient way? Let’s be clear: if the team doesn’t work, nothing else works either. But with a dynamic, vibrant and strongly aligned team, you can move mountains.

How to bring out the best in a team

Thanks to our many years’ experience matching teams with simple but powerful tools such as the Lencioni Trust Pyramid and Safe Teaming, we are able to identify a team’s strengths and weaknesses – which are always there. We then advise you and coach you in order to elevate your team’s cohesiveness and efficiency. As a result, not only does the team operate at full strength, but you make sure that the strong players remain on board too.
