Move First in the War for Talent

It’s very encouraging that businesses are planning growth right across the region as the recovery continues. The end of drought in many locations is also driving growth in agricultural and food processing businesses. An essential element for this growth is finding strong talent to support expansion. The trick is in finding out who you really need.

Know your people

A skills audit means investigating your organisation in a structured fashion to identify what capability you have and what capability you need. Often there are strong perceptions about what you have and what you need that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Get the Facts

Making big decisions about growth and recruiting should be based on solid facts, not your best guess or persistent myths. The cost and risks of employing new people are too big for businesses to just ‘have a loose swing’ at it.

What’s Involved

A skills audit can be done very efficiently. A simple structured evaluation of your business quickly produces key guidance and insights to guide growth. You can do it yourself or work with an experienced partner.

Skills Audit Outcomes:

An understanding of the skills in your organisation
A targeted analysis of development needs
Data to use for purposes such as internal selection
Information to use for dynamic succession planning
A clear understanding of who you need to recruit

Take the lead in the war for talent and implement a skills audit in your organisation.
