Discussion Topics
•Pay a premium for top professionals – organizations don’t have the same leverage that they did a few years ago and when employees see these top talents during the interview process they may want to up the budget to secure them (mentioned: Alex Côté, Nandita Merchant, Saloni Bhavsar, Arjav Azad, Ash Aiyar, Nelu Sund, Divya Bhatka, Ari Redbord, Liat Shetret, Amanda Wicks, Ian Andrews, Kimberly Grauer, Mikaela Ann Smith)
•These top players more than exceed in the role that they are given, but they also attract other top tier professionals that are looking for a great employer to work with (mentioned: Solidus Labs)
•You have to nurture your existing employees and check in with them If you are at the top of your organization, in the last two years you have had more than enough time to leave a thoughtful and personalized message for everyone in your organization.
•A thoughtful message could leave a more lasting impression than a swag bag or a sweater with the organization’s colours on it
•Are you tapping into your community to show gratitude and to support them in their growth. Can you reward those people that are ambassadors for your company, by providing them early access to reports or complimentary short term use of your tool or solution
•Professionals in the industry are looking for a place to feel included and a part of something bigger than just their job. Is your company creating a hub for the community to come and learn and feel heard
•Support what your employees are doing outside of. Be the first to buy their side hustle project or to sponsor an event that they are speaking at or financially supporting initiatives they are leading (mentioned: Tara Annison, Elliptic)
