People Strategy
Define and activate a fit-for-purpose people strategy aligned to individual and organisational priorities
“The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do”
From pains...
- Only 23% of employees and leaders believe that their organisation's strategies will lead to success (McKinsey & Company).
- 90% of organisations fail to execute their strategies successfully due to a lack of alignment between employees and organisational goals (Harvard Business Review)
... to gains
- Organisations with aligned employees are more likely to outperform their peers, with increased productivity (PwC), higher operating income and shareholder returns (SHRM), enhanced performance and profitability (Quantum Workplace), and improved employee engagement (15Five) (Deloitte).
