Where Talent Management Started
Slow Response to Changing Business Needs
- Inability to identify current and future talent gaps
- Hiring strategy and development planning not in sync
- No clear picture of future “talent profile”
- Leadership pipelines in jeopardy
Disconnected Decision Making
- Data and processes not integrated
- Talent not shared across business units
- Learning plans not linked to assessments and skills
gaps in current talent pool
- Lack of visibility into talent gaps
Not responsive to Employee Demands
- Employees want career development
- Defined career paths and competencies not clear and
consistent
- Talent mobility difficult during change
- Managers still the weakest link in organizational
performance
Administratively Intensive
- Data entry is repetitive
- High volume of manual work to complete HR review
processes
- Difficult to obtain executive-level talent information
- Hard to plan for the future

21st Century Talent Acquisition
Connecting the Skills Supply Chain
Today we hire for potential,
motivation, and fit – not only
for core skills and experience.
This means that L&D and
Leadership team must
understand the “capabilities”
needed to translate them into
sourcing and hiring practices.
40. 40
Video and Social Replacing Web
Today 40-50% of job-seekers reach you by mobile
device. 20-25% of HR application users drive mobile
access. Video is by far the fastest-growing media for
training, communication, and even blogging.
47. 47
What We’ve Learned
Individual differences (personality, intelligence - core
skills, etc.) are more important than cultural differences
Leaders in remote geographies have less visibility and
are more likely to be turned down for key appointments
because key stakeholders don’t know them.
Leaders who have lived and worked in one country tend
to see the world through the same lens so even if they
have strong potential. Mobility matters.
Middle East or APAC leaders often not aware that they
need to manage their profile at the corporate level,
network with key people, get involved in high visibility
projects. Self-promotion may not be highly regarded.
Interpersonal skills and flexibility are important. Leaders
who have only been exposed to one culture can become
typecast e.g. too deferential, too aggressive, too
loud/passionate, too considered, too arrogant etc.
Corporate culture has a strong influence on who gets
promoted. Leaders who fit the culture are positively seen
because they display the “right” behaviors and values

New Models for Engagement
Building the Simply Irresistible Organization
49. 49
Engagement Still Startlingly Low
Worldwide only 13% of employees are
“highly engaged” in their jobs.
63% “disengaged” and 24% “actively
disengaged.”
(Australia and NZ are twice as
“engaged” as the rest of the world!)
with 25% “highly engaged”
China, Middle East, Africa, India are the
lowest at 6-8% fully engaged

Today’s workforce is more diverse than ever – in age, expectations, location and mobility. Our research shows that 70% of organizations are still recruiting baby boomers, while 30% will still consider hiring a candidate who has inappropriate postings on social media. Further, our new High Impact HR research shows that organizations with mixed age work forces perform better than those that are highly skewed toward younger or older workers.
Nearly every organization we work with is looking for ways to grow. Whether this is geographical or line of business expansion, HR professionals are striving to develop workforces that can manage through ambiguity and rapid change.
This is why
AT&T chose Bersin to redesign its performance management system, resulting in a 15% improvement in productivity in the first two years
When Pfizer merged with Wyatt, they looked to Bersin to effectively consolidate two training groups into one organization, 2/3 the size of the previous team. This group cut training costs by 32% while creating innovative, high performing learning programs
JetBlue University transformed their training team from request managers to performance consultants by using Bersin’s research to create a business alignment tool that ensures that the University’s resources are spent on strategically significant programs.
The fourth topic to discuss in localization is talent acquisition. We are in a war for talent around the world.
Our statistical analysis found these 12 drivers of TA performance outcomes, for example, hiring manager relationships, candidate pool development, social media campaigns, recruiter training, employment branding, employee referral programs.
For the next part of this presentation, I’m going to show you, with some cold hard facts, how Level 4 organizations perform relative to organizations at the lower levels of maturity.
Overall, we found that Level 4 organizations are 2.6 times more likely to perform higher than Levels 1& 2 across all TA performance drivers. That’s 160% higher, folks! That’s a big return!
I’m now going to drill down on the two most impactful TA performance drivers– hiring manager relationships and candidate pool development.
If you don’t believe me on this topic, let me introduce you to the science.
An Australian neuro scientist named David Rock has conducted research showing that we humans have different regions in our brain. These include the front part (prefrontal cortex), which helps us with learning, creativity, problem-solving, organization, and other important skills. And a deeper region called the limbic system, where the amygdala resides. The amygdala is the “survival” part of the brain.”
Dr. Rock’s team discovered that when we as humans are threatened, our cognitive processing immediately shifts from the front to the back. In other words, we are “survival” machines. So if you’re at work, happily working away to solve a problem, work in a team, or learn something new and you suddenly feel threatened, all your productivity goes away.
In fact, not only do you become defensive, but you start to make mistakes, avoid risks, communicate poorly, and generally worry and become unproductive.
What causes this shift in processing from the front to the back of your brain? A loss of status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, or fairness. What causes these things? Your boss criticizes you. You don’t get promoted. You hear about a reorg which wasn’t announced. Your boss micro-manages you. You aren’t invited to a meeting. Someone else gets promoted and you don’t. In fact, most of the things that happen in traditional performance reviews create this effect.
This is such a strong effect that companies can measure its result. Steven Rice, the CHRO of Juniper, actually looked at Juniper’s business performance right after their twice per year performance reviews and saw a measureable dip. He concluded that their entire performance management process was doing exactly the wrong thing – forcing their entire company to shift from “front brain thinking” to “rear brain thinking” twice a year every year. And that is why they totally revamped their performance management process. Which is now one of the biggest topics in business.
Kelly Services offers outsourcing and consulting services, including recruitment, HR management and vendor management to companies worldwide. The organization, which had $5.5 billion in revenue in 2012, has about 1,100 permanent employees at its headquarters in Troy, Michigan, and about 6,800 more in branch offices worldwide. The company provides temporary employment to about 560,000 people each year.
In 2008, the HR leadership team at Kelly decided it was time to take a fresh approach to performance management. There was a general sense that the old way was not working, but it was unclear exactly what lay at the root of the problem.
Kelly assembled a team to set a new course – purposely without a vision for what that course would look like. Open-mindedness and candor were important elements of what participants recall as a deeply introspective process. A key element of the process was a focus on Kelly’s fundamental beliefs and assumptions about its people. Specifically, Kelly looked at how policies and procedures can either communicate or undermine the core beliefs and expectations that leaders have regarding employees. For example, too much emphasis on monitoring behavior through tools like time clocks and activity logs can suggest distrust or an expectation that employees work only for their paychecks, not out of integrity or a desire to do a good job. Kelly took a step back to identify what managers and leaders believed about employees, then let those beliefs guide subsequent decisions.
Leaders at Kelly ultimately decided that past approaches to performance management had been paternalistic, rather than collegial. In examining their core beliefs about employees, leaders concluded that such a tone did not accurately reflect their expectations of employees. The leaders believed most employees cared about their jobs and wanted to do them well.
It followed that the aim of performance management should be to help employees follow through on their natural motivation. But conversation after conversation revealed that many regarded the performance management score as a hindrance.
Kelly could have renewed efforts to standardize the scoring process, but that began to seem like a case of the tail wagging the dog. What leaders and employees primarily wanted wasn’t more consistent scoring; it was more fruitful performance-management conversations.
In the end, the decision came down to what the scores represented for Kelly and its workforce. Rightly or wrongly, the scores had become emblematic of a management-driven, red-tape-laden approach to performance management. So, Kelly decided to abolish them. In one sense, abandoning scores was a tactical move. But in perhaps an even more important sense, the change was strategic and symbolic – an opportunity to redirect thinking across the enterprise.
Since Kelly has abolished performance scores, they have seen higher levels of engagement from employees and received reports that performance conversations are much more honest and effective.

Speaker Notes:
• Traditional employee training is being revolutionized by flipped classrooms, learning centric models, and an explosion of content delivered over a variety of new online and mobile platforms.
• More than two-thirds of companies in our global survey see this trend as “urgent” or “important,” yet only 6 percent believe they have mastered the content and technology capabilities needed to make online learning an accessible tool and a compelling experience for their employees.
• By empowering employees to become equal partners in the learning process, HR organizations can foster a culture of development and growth—driving performance, engagement, and career development.
BOTTOM LINE
Corporate training today requires content, context, and deep expertise. Companies should rationalize their HR spending, develop a global learning architecture, and shift the focus from “delivering training” to “developing capability.” Many leading companies focus on putting the learner in charge (flipping corporate training in the same way schools are experimenting with flipped classrooms), building mastery, improving time to autonomy, and unlocking the power of expertise to ensure it is shared throughout the firm. Effective corporate learning encourages a culture of growth, empowering employees and driving performance, engagement, and career development.

As mentioned we analyzed competency data from SHL from 3 leader levels in 10 countries :
US, UK
Nordic countries: Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Belgium, the Netherlands,
In asia we have India, China and Austraiia
So we’re going to look at the differences in leadership styles across these 10 countries, starting with Developing the Vision.

Sample covered executives, mid-level and first-level managers per country
30,576 across 778 organizations with a minimum sample per country of 1,000
Coverage by industry included Banking, Construction, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Financial and Insurance Services, Public Sector, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceuticals, Retail, Technology and Telecommunications
Today’s workforce is more diverse than ever – in age, expectations, location and mobility. Our research shows that 70% of organizations are still recruiting baby boomers, while 30% will still consider hiring a candidate who has inappropriate postings on social media. Further, our new High Impact HR research shows that organizations with mixed age work forces perform better than those that are highly skewed toward younger or older workers.
Nearly every organization we work with is looking for ways to grow. Whether this is geographical or line of business expansion, HR professionals are striving to develop workforces that can manage through ambiguity and rapid change.
This is why
AT&T chose Bersin to redesign its performance management system, resulting in a 15% improvement in productivity in the first two years
When Pfizer merged with Wyatt, they looked to Bersin to effectively consolidate two training groups into one organization, 2/3 the size of the previous team. This group cut training costs by 32% while creating innovative, high performing learning programs
JetBlue University transformed their training team from request managers to performance consultants by using Bersin’s research to create a business alignment tool that ensures that the University’s resources are spent on strategically significant programs.
But what about this issue of the “overwhelmed employee”? Where does that fit into the calculus of building the “irresistible organization”?
First, it’s a big problem. Research shows that the average cell phone user checks his mobile device 150 times a day. Neurologist Larry Rosen has found that today’s office worker can only focus for six minutes on a single task, and then opens a window to check Facebook or do something else. We have become physically and emotionally addicted to the buzz, beep, or flash that comes from our devices.
Julian Birkenshaw and Jordan Cohen noted in the Harvard Business Review that knowledge workers spend 41% of their time on discretionary activities that could be handled by others? Why? Because it’s easier to “complete” these little tasks than it is to ponder and struggle with more complex and difficult projects at work. They found that by changing work habits and reducing time-wasting meetings, people could save 15% of their time in a typical insurance company.
The bigger issue, of course, is that society is now wired this way. Twitter’s explosive IPO says it all: if you can squeeze your message into 140 characters and blast it out by the millisecond, people will get addicted. Have you noticed how TV shows move faster than ever? They do. The broadcasters now change scenes 35% more frequently than they did only four years ago.
This problem is here to stay, and our job is to figure out what to do about it. Mindfulness has become a fast-growing industry, moving beyond the best-seller list and newsstand.
Pfizer recently told me they are putting “mindfulness” into their leadership curriculum, and “self-awareness” came up as one of the most important competencies in new leadership programs.
Google and Patagonia offer yoga and meditation at work. Huffington Post has nap rooms. Arianna Huffington’s new website The Third Metric, which focuses on work-life balance, is the fastest growing part of her online presence.

And now poor HR has to catch up. The book Moneyball certainly educated us that data can make a big difference in selection, and people like Malcolm Gladwell and many others have popularized the idea of using data to make more scientific decisions about people.
I seem to read an article in the New York Times every week about this topic now, and more and more stories about how companies are using data to better select people keep appearing.
Finally of course the big software players (SAP, Oracle, and Workday) have now turned their massive resources in this direction and are starting to buy up and build integrated data platforms to help you make talent analytics easier.
Unfortunately today tools are not the answer, as I will show you in a minute, but the “dataifaction of HR” has a long history and now it has become hot.

Speaker Notes:
• Less than 8 percent of HR leaders have confidence that their teams have the skills needed to meet the challenge of today’s global environment and consistently deliver innovative programs that drive business impact.
• Business leaders agree: 42 percent of business leaders believe their HR teams are underperforming or just getting by, compared to the 27 percent who rate HR as excellent or good when assessing HR and talent programs.
• To become an effective business partner, HR teams need to develop deeper business acumen, build analytical skills to underwrite their leadership, learn to operate as performance advisors, and develop an understanding of the needs of the 21st-century workforce.
BOTTOM LINE
The global economy is poised for a growth cycle. A limiting factor will be the increasing scarcity of talent, which will only intensify the need for HR to ably lead the organization forward. HR teams that rise to the challenge will see their internal effectiveness, external market value, and overall stature climb.
Reskilling HR was rated the third most urgent and important trend in our 2014 global survey, with 77 percent of respondents ranking it as “urgent” or “important.” Businesses report that their HR teams are “not ready” or up to the job in critical areas including leadership, retention, global, and analytics. To achieve better business results, companies will need to reskill and invest in their HR and talent capabilities. Focusing on emerging HR skills, such as analytics and deep business and global skills, is a place to start.
