YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE — YOUR PEOPLE

What makes the difference between your organization and another organization that provides the same products or services?  You guessed it — people….your employees. You can purchase the same equipment and raw materials and have the same processes.  How the work is performed rests with your employees.  Business stability and more importantly growth comes from employee commitment and engagement.  

Investing in your employees is investing in your business.

Most employers provide training for employees but may ignore development.  What’s the difference?  “Training” is about teaching the knowledge and skills that employees need to perform their current job.  “Development” is much broader and long term focused.   Development enables employees to take ownership of their careers by providing knowledge, skills and abilities (competencies) that may not be immediately used but is the employee’s toolkit for the future. 

 ORGANIZATIONAL VALUE

Identify High Potentials

AKziom can design and implement a process that provides tools and resources for your leadership team to identify the high potential employees within your organization.  Once these employees are identified, we work with your team to initiate development opportunities.  Investing in your high potentials improves retention and  employee engagement.

Succession Planning

What are the key critical jobs in your organization and what will happen if the incumbents suddenly leaves?  Is anyone ready to replace them?  

What is your leadership bench strength?  Are you developing your current and future leaders? 

AKziom will provide the framework and processes that will ensure you have the answers. We can assist you in actuating succession planning and replacement charting. 

TACTICS BECOME STRATEGIC

The process begins with an understanding of your current business and strategic focus. Knowing where the business needs to go in the future provides the platform for employee development. What competencies will be needed tomorrow and how to you assist your employees in acquiring them.
