Executive Eye-Opener 3Q23
Sweet Summer
The days are long, the nights are warm and the roadside stands are brimming with fresh produce. Like us, we hope that you and your teams have been able to enjoy some down time this summer. Time away is imperative for continued success in any position, a reality that continues to gain in importance even as clients navigate the hybrid-versus-remote-versus-onsite scheduling of new hires.
While our candidates and leaders know they can't lead from a fully remote position, they still appreciate and are gravitating towards the work-life balance that a hybrid position offers. Clients are finding the best success by remaining flexible, requiring just two-to-three days per week onsite to avoid regrettable losses.
This candidate-centric approach cannot be understated. Although we tend to focus on delivering for our clients, it is equally imperative for us to ensure a respectful, professional and positive experience for candidates. Just as we are interviewing them, they are simultaneously interviewing the organization to ensure a good fit from a career and cultural perspective. For that reason, we delve into simple steps will ensure that top-tier candidates are just as impressed by you as you are by them.
And that's just the beginning. Once a candidate is hired, effective relocation and onboarding programs properly set the stage for any new employee, ultimately contributing to both their success and longevity. It's why we believe they are powerful employee retention tools that deserve maximum attention.
At BroadView Talent, we maintain the philosophy that everyone is a client, including the candidates who not only go on to do transformative work for our clients, but who also may one day become clients. We hope that you enjoy these candidate-centered insights, and are appreciative of the opportunities we all deserve to enjoy during the last days of summer−both in and out of the office.
Warmly,
Tracy McMillan, CEO & Managing Partner
