Our career goals should change along with it.

It is time to move beyond saying that talent is an organization’s most important asset. Organizations need to behave in ways that recognize the strategic importance of talent, and to make design and strategy decisions based on their ability to attract and manage talent. For decades, CEO’s have talked about people as their most important asset, but they have not behaved accordingly when it comes to developing their business strategies, their organization designs, and their talent management pract

A big problem that most companies go through without stopping to think about, is their high turnover rate. Like the saying, “most friendships come and go”- the same applies to employees. Despite it being a popular belief and saying, the real problem that lies here is that companies don’t tackle the core reason as to why it even exists. Most managers would believe it’s because of the changing dynamics of the workforce, where employees roll in and out.

Take a look around your office. Who’s happy? If everyone looks like they’d rather be at the dentist than at their desks, you’ve got a problem. You may offer competitive salaries, but money isn’t everything when it comes to workplace happiness. Workplace happiness doesn’t always seem important on the surface (after all, work is work!), but most people spend a third of their day doing their job, which can add up to a lot of unhappiness during their lives if they’re unsatisfied at work.
