Commerciality: Challenge: Significant annual recruitment fees for a critical senior management role. Role turn over was approx’ 30%/yr across the group. In addition, poor success rates for new hires and perception of a glass ceiling for high potentials. Solution: Designed and implemented a Senior Talent Moves approach which was part of a wider critical role programme. Outcome: Impact of the initiative was a 70% reduction in recruitment fees for this particular role, with a significant increase in retention rates for existing strong performers and high potentials.
Strengths: A level of maturity that comes with the depth and breadth of exposure and experience gained. An engaged and active listener, team player and a lateral thinker who partners with the business to create sustainable solutions that simply make sense
Need to know: Pragmatic and a lateral thinker with an international mindset.
