COMPETITIVE PEOPLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES MAKING HUMAN CAPITAL THE DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR IN THE WORKPLACE

Research and practice from all over the world suggest that poor people management in organisations can lead to covert costs such as decreased productivity, an increase in missed deadlines, mistakes, accidents and high employee turnover. 

Take the assessment. 

Let’s innovate and think outside the box.  

Take “talent mobility” and “career development” seriously.

	Focus area	Questions to ponder about	Yes/no
1	Peak Performance Coaching	Can you really say you have been exposed to genuine value-adding bottom-line impact coaching interventions?
2	Recruitment and selection	Are you getting the basics bluntly right?
3	Courageous conversations	Are you able to have these in your organisation?
4	Leadership development	Are you cloning new leaders or are you making clowns?
5	(D)anger resolution	Are your organisations and leaders in denial thinking that they don’t have a problem with this?
6	Self development	Do you have a serious self-development and learning culture in your organisation?
7	Corporate governance and character excellence	Can you merge the two in the workplace?
8	Team building versus team wasting	Is team building still really necessary today?
9	Optimising emotional intelligence	Fad or fashion? Can you still ignore this type of training?
10	Performance appraisals	Curse versus blessing!
11	Self management	Should this not be the first subject in any organisational business training?
12	Business coaching	Do we really pass on the baton to the new generation of leaders?
13	Why do projects fail?	What do you think?
14	Creating sustainable behavioural change	Why is so hard to change people habits?
15	Developing and executing strategy	What if a captain of a 747 Airbus leaves Cape Town International to fly to New York and the GPS is out by one degree? Where do you think he will land? Do you really execute your organizational strategies with accuracy?

17	Problem solving and decision making: Get back to the basics	Would you allow a doctor to prescribed expensive medicine without doing a detailed diagnosis and evaluation?
