Listening vs hearing: Why interviewing leaders is not a one-way process
Interviewing is not straightforward and its critical to thoroughly prepare in order to get it right. Think about not just
Staff turnover is an indicator that something is not right. Understanding why people leave a job is important. It can provide you with some profound information that will help you with your staff retention, talent and recruitment strategies, employee engagement strategies, and improving your employer brand.
The vision of the company is not communicated or believed in giving a feeling that there was no purpose or direction.
The quality of the leadership in the capabilities, actions, and behaviours they demonstrate.
Behaviours of leadership and employees are not in line with the values of the company.
Lack of career opportunities or well-defined career path.
Minimal investment in professional development or creating opportunities to learn.
Salary package and benefits not competitive enough in the market.
Inflexible working environment, not catering for lifestyles, mental health, well-being, and multi-generational workforce.
Slow investment in technology and systems to improve efficiencies and productivity.
Staff morale being low, and no action taken to improve morale or engagement.
Little or no investment in the company culture creating subcultures and a toxic environment.
Lack of recognition when you do well and little opportunity to celebrate success
Lack of coaching and mentoring from direct manager or other leaders within the business creating a lack of personalised development.
Performance and recognition are driven by activity and unrealistic metrics, not outcomes and results.
Lack of social interaction with minimal social events to have fun and get to know people.
Not acting on toxic employees or negative behaviour that changes the culture and environment.
Even though some of the feedback can be negative or hard to hear, it is an opportunity to have feedback on how your company is perceived by your employees and others. It is an opportunity to learn and to improve how your organisation is perceived.
