More Impactful Leadership

Transforming Your New Hire Leadership Success and Retention.

As I am sure you can imagine, we speak with a lot of business leaders and the C-Suite about securing the right leadership and for many a recruiter it is all about making a successful introduction of a potential new hire and a potential new employer.

But what about retention, impact and success?

In 2017 the Chartered Management Institute highlighted that there were over 2.4 million accidental managers in the UK, costing the economy an estimated £84bn a year and here we are a number of years later and the impact of an Accidental Manager or Leader is still rife today, causing up to a 4.5% reduction in productivity per person, following more recent research by Lumien.

50% of employees in the UK state that a bad manager is the reason they have left, or are considering leaving their job.

A staggering 71% of employers say they don't train their first line Managers and there is a significant lack of succession potential, that is really hurting the growth and development of UK plc.

Which is why hiring great leaders is truly what will help set your organisation apart.

This is why we came up with Douglas Jackson’s Impact 360 process , so that we could do more, to help our clients ensure not just a placement, but a much better match. A match of a leader that had the right will as well as the right skill. The creation of a more comprehensive approach which goes beyond traditional search and selection. A criteria, focusing on intelligence, motivation, performance, analysis, competence, and transformative talent, ensuring leaders are not only capable but also aligned with the company’s vision and culture.

This approach has led to a much improved retention of new hires, with over 96% of those placed still with the business after 12 months but not only that, in the last few months of last year, we have seen three placements previously made using this approach each go on to receive additional internal promotions to more senior Executive Director, Managing Director and Regional Managing Director level appointments.

We take immense pride in the relationships we build with our clients and candidates and for us, it is not just about filling roles; it's about delivering a service that exceeds expectations and results in more impactful leaders who are more successful and stay for longer.
