PLANNING FOR PROFITABILITY

Jim Collins’ Good to Great research is arguably one of the most well-known business improvement concepts in the world. The book was released in 2001 after four years of academic research. In all that time only 11 companies qualified as being great and the research documented the common attributes.

HR Coach has taken the step of aligning what they do every day with this research to give businesses an avenue to become great. So much of what Collins discovered involved aligning the right people with the right strategy and focusing on opportunity. The HR Coach Research Institute, along with its suppliers and Network members, work to build these links within businesses every day.

As an accredited HR Coach member, ChoiceOne facilitates the STAR Workplace Program to identify the current state of organisations and their employees. By measuring staff and employer engagement, it allows managers to set relevant priorities, action plans and strategies to achieve the organisations goals. More importantly, it engages and aligns employees with the strategic vision and future direction of the organisation.

So how can you move your organisation from good to great?

Have a look at your company vision and ask yourself these questions

•Is it clear?
•Are your staff engaged and aligned?
•Are you measuring your staff and employer engagement?

If these answers remain unclear, remember the old saying… if you don’t measure, then you can’t manage.
