Talent – “People Processes” Top Talent is the Foundation of a Good Company

Talented people are valuable in all businesses. In the construction industry, talented people are not only important – they’re vital. This business is particularly dynamic, where 90 percent of the decisions made are generally “one-off.” Your team needs to be strong, capable, and able to proactively make the right decisions on a consistent basis. No one really doubts the value of having top talent on their team, but often it isn’t understood what not having a talented team costs an organization. D. Brown Management’s Profit Happens Here! Talent – “People Processes” Training Module delves into this, and much more, to help you build the foundation of talent within your organization.

It’s essential to classify the people on your team into types, and for them to understand this classification. The types used in this module were adapted from how General Electric, under Jack Welch’s direction, categorized people. We discuss why you should rank everyone on your team, from the Type A Players, those who believe in company values, promote teamwork, and always deliver on the bottom line; to the Type B Players, those who believe in values and have heart, but do not always deliver on the bottom line; to Type C Players, those who do not hold values and do not deliver on the bottom line.

When you rank the people within your organization, you can more easily manage your talent, which will eventually stabilize the foundation of your company. Ranking your team is the single most important thing you can do to improve performance within your organization. In this module, you will learn the tools you need to assist you in ranking your team. Then, we move on to creating a talent plan, recruiting new talent, the three components of talent, developing talent from within, and retaining the top talent you already have. From there, the training module gives you critical information on managing people and processes; from reviews, to rewards, to termination.

The Talent – “People Processes” training module will help you understand what steps you need to take to get, keep, and reward the best talent in your organization. By taking the time to focus on the people on your team, you not only create a positive, proactive, and excited workforce, but you increase the potential profitability of your company by a large margin. Build a strong foundation and watch the changes happen!
