👏 We had fantastic feedback from our recent TalentEdge HR & Talent leadership event. It’s great to know that people gained so many genuinely actionable insights and learnings. Now most people are back after half-term I thought it would be a great opportunity to share the takeaways for those that were unable to make it on the day. Our amazing panel covered a lot of ground during their discussion including: 👉 How to help your business deal with the pace of change 👉 Overcoming the generational divide and how a “shadow board” can help you do this 👉 The evolving role of managers 👉 Optimising limited resources when budgets are tight 👉 Skills-based hiring 👉 The importance of a growth mindset for all ages 👉 Rethinking the role of HR If you’d like to download the takeaways including clips from the discussion, you can get your copy using the link in the comments below or send me a message and I'll email it over. #CPOinsights #HRD #leadershipevents #chro

A growth mindset is relevant across the workforce regardless of age or seniority. Here’s James Watson, a highly experienced people leader, sharing his thoughts on this at our most recent HR & Talent leadership event. Discussions around this concept of continual learning and development often focus on the younger generation, and how willing/able they are to adapt as AI-driven change demands they learn new skills and adopt different roles. But lifelong learning comes in many forms and is just as relevant to older, more experienced workers who may stay in one role for longer. It just looks a little different. Thanks again to James and the rest of our expert panel for sharing their time, experience, and insights with our audience. Our takeaways for this event are ready to download so if you’d like to find out more about the key points covered and also watch more clips from the discussion, drop a request in the message below and I’ll send you a link. #lifelonglearning #growthmindset #HRinsights #CPOinsights #leadershipevents

It’s clear that Gen Z sometimes have very different expectations of work compared to older employees.   Buy why is that? Here’s the wonderful Tia Castagno making it clear that some of the responsibility sits firmly with the businesses themselves.     In a bid to secure the best talent in a fiercely competitive market, companies have often set expectations that are at odds with the commercial reality of work.   And managers have been left to deal with the issues that this causes further down the line.   Thanks again to Tia for being such a fantastic panellist and sharing so many insights with our audience. Tia helps businesses create high-performance, purpose-driven cultures, coaches C-Suite executives and leads individual and team training programmes.

  This quote from Sarah von Landsberg-Sadie, a panellist at TalentEdge’s leadership event last week really resonated with me.   The CEO of the first agency I worked for didn’t use a computer – he had one on his desk but the keyboard sat on top of the monitor which was mainly there to prop up his copy of the FT. He sold the business for millions – but crucially had a leadership team that was very driven and keen to innovate. And it was also in the years just before technology completely changed how we do business in recruitment.   These days the pace of change is so rapid that regardless of your age it can feel like a challenge to keep up, and so it’s even more important that leaders retain a growth mindset and a passion for life-long learning - otherwise it’s hard to convince your team they need to do the same.   I’m keen to speak to experienced recruiters who have a strong desire to continue learning, developing and taking on new challenges.   At both TalentEdge and Troi we have some amazing opportunities for consultants who have an entrepreneurial mindset and the drive to establish new teams and even new offices.   DM me to find out more. #ceoinsights #recruitmentjobs #growthmindset

How do businesses deal with the pace of change and its impact on their workforce? This was one of the key challenges the panel discussed at our TalentEdge Factorial HR and Talent Leadership event last week. Here is the brilliantly succinct Sarah von Landsberg-Sadie, CPO of Freemarket, offering a characteristically levelheaded and pragmatic approach that focuses on “first principles” and avoids unnecessary distraction. Thanks again to Sarah, along with the rest of our panel, for sharing so many truly actionable insights with us on Building A Workforce For The Future. If you couldn’t make the event and would like to learn more about the areas we discussed then drop me a message below to request the takeaways (which will include more clips like this) and will be available soon. #hr #changemanagement #leadership

Hi all, Exciting news to share – I’ll be taking some time off as I head into paternity leave to welcome a new addition to my family! While I'll be stepping away for a few weeks, the team at TalentEdge will be able to support our clients and candidates with opportunities. I’m looking forward to coming back but for the meantime, changing nappies and sleeping 2 hours a day will be the priority! Thank you for understanding and be back soon!

We’ve seen a big uptick lately in enquiries from businesses regarding interim and fractional HR leadership roles. It's not surprising given the HR challenges that businesses are facing right now, and in particular, the recent slew of new legislation. However, I’ve also noticed some confusion about the differences between interim and fractional support and what they involve. They’re significantly different – so it’s worth taking a step back before committing to anything and exploring which option works best for your business. While the list of differences below is not comprehensive, and there will obviously be some exceptions, broadly speaking, these are the variances between the roles. For those companies looking to ready themselves for changes to workers’ rights and related legislation, the right solution could be either – it very much depends on the HR resources you currently have in place and what stage you’re at in the journey. Get in touch now if you would like some free advice on whether you need interim or fractional support and to discover more about how TalentEdge can help you hire exceptional People leaders for your business. #fractional #hr #Interim
