Hunton Executive

Beware of promoting too fast. Our CEO, Vanessa Meikle, recently shared that it can be difficult for an organisation to time key staff promotions right. Wait too long; people get bored and frustrated. Result: they start to leave. Accelerate people too early, and they may lack the skills that come from experience—the result is a ripple effect on the business and people around them. So, how can employers avoid this happening? • Step 1: Proactive workforce planning. Map skills and experience, succession plan well in advance and prepare people for their next roles. • Step 2: Invest in training and mentoring for leaders.

An executive search firm can alleviate much of the burden from the executive hiring process. There are numerous benefits to using an executive search firm such as Hunton Executive. Click through the carousel to view the key ones. When choosing an executive search firm, have initial discussions with several firms and meet them face-to-face. Pay attention to how they present themselves and their capabilities before deciding who to work with. Opt to work exclusively with one firm for the best results instead of engaging multiple firms for one vacancy. It's essential to have a detailed briefing with the selected firm. This step ensures they understand your business, the employer brand, the job description, and the key selection criteria, which are crucial for their performance. Dedicate time to build a trusting relationship with them for the best outcome.

Defining talent is one thing, but defining high-quality talent is another one entirely. There is a common thread between the quality of talent and business performance. It's widely known that people are the highest cost for a business. Employing low-quality talent is costly due to ineffective productivity and inevitable turnover. On the other hand, high-quality talent is generally more productive and provides a greater cost-benefit for a company. Unlocking the potential to attract high-quality talent is the most effective way to improve profits. Talent is no longer limited to those located near the company head office; it is now global, mobile, and social, allowing for a much broader scope. In the new talent economy, businesses are realising that high-quality talent is the driving force behind productivity and profit instead of a traditional, easily replaceable volume workforce. So, how do you define high-quality talent? Click through the carousel to find out.

Even during progress and prosperity, stress and incivility at work are rising. This is particularly worrying considering we spend most of our lives working, second only to sleeping. As per Gallup's 2024 State of the Global Workplace report, 41% of employees report experiencing "a lot of stress." Yet stress varies significantly depending on how organisations are run. Those who work in companies with bad management practices are nearly 60% more likely to be stressed than people working in environments with good management practices. Employees working under bad management report experiencing "a lot of stress" approximately 30% more frequently than the unemployed. According to recent research by Oxford University, organisation-level initiatives such as improvements in scheduling change, management practices, staff resources or tailored job design work better in reducing workplace stress. Changing how people are managed at the organisational level can play a significant role in addressing the world's mental health crisis. Partnering with Hunton Executive can give you a holistic view of your organisation. As your organisation pivots and grows, we can help you design and implement effective human resources, recruitment, talent development, and outplacement strategies.
