Description
The hiring process is often considered a one-sided equation; however, selecting the ‘Right Fit’ should work both ways as the team must have the right members, and the member must have the right team. For those who question the two-sidedness of this, you can be assured the most talented will only stay when the work environment is congruent with their own values, needs and desires.
Selecting the right team member consists of two primary phases: the first being choosing the right candidate, and second, taking the appropriate steps to ensure they are successful.
Selecting the team member includes:
- Determining what the ‘Right Fit’ is for your organization
- Advertising clearly articulating the Work Description and what you consider as the ‘Right Fit.’
- Assessing potential applicants to ensure they meet the requirements.
- Selecting the right candidate.
Ensuring Success includes:
-Providing the chosen team member an appropriate orientation to the organization.
-Providing the individual the required training to perform their duties.
-Setting formal written objectives and ensuring they are clearly understood.
-Monitoring progress and providing timely and constructive feed-back.
-Addressing issues in a timely and appropriate manner.
-Providing an appropriate environment and renumeration.
Finally, as part of our Forward Looking agenda, as leaders we must be prepared to replace team members should they move on; we call this Succession Planning.
Let us help you through the process!
