How to Build and Maintain a Premier OrganizationLucas Group
An important trend facing organizations across all industries is bridging the knowledge gap between outgoing employees and those who remain or are hired to fulfill their work. Despite a stubbornly persistent unemployment rate in the U.S., attracting and retaining people who can positively impact your company remains a considerable challenge to building and maintaining a premier organization. Triggered by Baby Boomer retirements, companies must develop systematic ways to attract the best, retain the best, and hold on to the knowledge that the best contribute to their organizations.
Employee Retention Strategies to Survive the Great ResignationKashish Trivedi
Onboarding reflects what your company is and ultimately leaves the first impression on new employees. A report indicates a 2.6 times increase in job satisfaction among new employees when they have a positive onboarding experience.
You can rely on learning management tools that streamline difficult or time-consuming procedures for companies to hire new employees. Leveraging a comprehensive learning platform allows you to create personalized onboarding experiences for new employees.
Extra steps need to be taken to make sure employees joining remotely feel integrated into their team. To achieve this, you could implement a virtual onboarding program that may utilize internal bots to help facilitate a more seamless connection within your team. Check for chatbot pricing and integrate an employee engagement bot within your onboarding activities to encourage icebreaker conversations.

The Denham Career Development Model is introduced briefly to highlight the career tasks that employees undertake across their careers, while working with their organisations.
Benefits of developing an organisational career development culture are then highlighted (CIPD).

Positive behaviours demonstrated by those carrying out effective career conversations with employees are then highlighted, together with the positive impacts of those career discussions.
Tips for the consideration of organisations seeking to develop strong career development cultures are then provided.

Career
I
n order to survive in a globally competitive environment,
modern organisations are constantly looking to better posi-
tion themselves. This means that they take steps to improve
their offered products or services, change the way they build
products or deliver services, and look to reduce the costs of pro-
duction or delivery. Such steps have implications for how business
is conducted and the number and types of roles required in the
future. Therefore, organisational change, restructuring and reengi-
neering can be considered normal, and a role redundancy event a
high probability across an employee’s career. Anticipating, preparing
for, and dealing with role redundancy are increasingly important ca-
reer management skills.
In this article tips are provided that can help employees who feel
that role redundancy represents a genuine career threat.
1. Be Alert
Pay attention to political, economic, industry and organisational trends
that could potentially affect your job security. Trends worthy of atten-
tion include:
• Government decisions that affect the viability of your industry or field
of employment.
• Major international political and/or financial events (e.g. Global Fi-
nancial Crisis).
• Pressures felt across your industry (e.g. increased automation).
• Increased merger and acquisition activity in your industry.
• Financial pressures experienced by the business you work for.
You owe it to yourself to remain alert; make no assumptions about your
professional indispensability.
2. Be Prepared
If you notice trends challenging the ongoing viability of your organisa-
tion, division, team, or role, you can position yourself by:
• Confidentially sharing your concerns, thoughts, and feelings with
family members or close friends.
• Auditing your financial situation and formulating budgetary or other
strategies that could lessen any lifestyle impact of sudden job loss (seek
professional accounting or financial advice, if appropriate).
• Creating a high quality, up-to-date resume and aligned LinkedIn pro-

file (access professional career coaching support, if necessary).
• Increasing your professional visibility (e.g. attend industry and profes-
sional events).
• Rapidly increasing the rate at which you invite people to connect with
you on relevant social media platforms (e.g. LinkedIn).
• Taking stock of all key relationships you have as a consequence of
your employment and making sure you know how to contact those
people in future.
• Reflecting on, and documenting, your achievements in your organi-
sation (which are more easily recognised when in the physical environ-
ment).
• Remaining alert to all opportunities of potential career interest (in-
cluding some internal opportunities that might be in “safer” areas of
your organisation).
3. Be Dignified
You may think you know how you will react if notified of role redun-
dancy, however, your actual reaction may be different. In a similar way,
it is presumptuous as author of this article to provide well-intended
directives on how you should behave when notified.
If you find yourself participating in a notification meeting, try to:
• Pay attention to proceedings (but recognise that you will not necessarily
remember all that takes place and can always ask for clarification later).
• Maintain your composure (but acknowledge your human condition
and that feelings will attend the event).
• Refrain from making comments directed personally at organisational
representatives or that more broadly threaten the organisation.
• Understand that if your emotional reaction is considered totally un-
reasonable the organisation may harden its stance towards you and
choose not to exercise options that it had otherwise intended to of-

3. fer to you (e.g. exploration of cross-business redeployment, opportunity to
work for a specified period before departure, sponsored counselling or ca-
reer support).
• Know that you may well need to interact with the organisation and its peo-
ple in future industry and professional contexts (e.g. as a consultant, supplier).
• Remember that if you depart on reasonable terms from the organisation
(and particularly your Line Manager) you are more likely to secure positive
referee support.
4. Accept / Seek
Professional Support
If you have been notified of role redundancy, it is recommended that you:
• Take any opportunity offered to speak confidentially with an on-site coun-
sellor if you feel overwhelmed or distraught at the time of notification.
• Access offered confidential counsellor support later if you are struggling
to cope with your new circumstances. Also explore whether such support is
available to family members if they are similarly affected.
• Meet with any on-site Career Coach after your notification meeting.
• Arrange to commence any employer-funded Career Transition Program.
• Give active consideration to paying for counselling and career coaching
support if no organisational financial support is forthcoming. This can help
accelerate your adjustment and position yourself positively for future op-
portunities.
• Seek professional accounting or financial advice, especially if the adverse
financial impact of role redundancy is high or the amounts involved are
significant.
5. Become Poised
To restore your balance and present yourself professionally in the future:
• Recognise that organisational restructures are a feature of the modern
economy and that role redundancy events are usually beyond the control
of the employee.
• Understand that individual reactions to role redundancy are often linked to
loss of valued aspects of work.
• Avoid using language such as ‘I was made redundant’. When explaining
your new career circumstances to a person beyond your family and close
friends, frame the conversation positively using a formula along the follow-
ing lines (with a hypothetical example in brackets):
Fact: The organisation restructured (internally, with impacts on Asia-Pacific
operations).
Fact: My role ceased to exist (in the new business structure).
Future: I am now seeking opportunities (probably in the A, B, or C indus-
tries that capitalise on my expertise in X, Y and Z).
• Move quickly past the facts, and focus your energy and passion on your
future career goals.
6. Re-Create?
Whether your immediate focus after role redundancy notification is con-
sidering a range of new career options or beginning to search for work
opportunities, an important consideration is managing yourself. Consider
nourishing your body, mind and spirit by:
• Taking a holiday or brief break from work routines, particularly before be-
ginning the energetic task of engaging in search activity.
• Blending regular and ad hoc recreational activities into your daily and
weekly activity mix.
The above tips will better position employees for role redundancy events.
If followed, they will be better placed to execute their subsequent search
activities.
