If you want to recruit, train, and retain the best people for your company, understand this: the old employer employee compact is dead. Stability doesn’t rule. In today’s entrepreneurial age, the best employees are not pledging lifelong loyalty to your company. Instead, they want to be “entrepreneurial” at work — and they’ll readily leave if they don’t feel like they are growing personally and professionally.
Don’t shy away from this reality; embrace it. Entrepreneurial employees drive business success. These are the creative, adaptive superstars who make your company adaptive. Learn from Silicon Valley, which has long nurtured this kind of talent via a different sort of HR strategy.
In a seminar based on his forthcoming book from Harvard Business Review Press, bestselling author and Chief of Staff to LinkedIn founder/chairman Reid Hoffman, Ben presents a revolutionary way to make a new people pact work for your company. You will learn:
How to create a mutually beneficial relationship between your company and employees that’s based on reciprocity – a two-way flow of value.
• How to craft 2-4 year “tours of duty” with your key employees that ultimately boosts retention.
• Why it’s a good thing for your employees to keep their LinkedIn profiles up-to-date.
• The surprising importance of a “corporate alumni network” — and how to form one for your own
organization.
• The little things that Netflix, Amazon, LinkedIn and others do to support entrepreneurial employees who
want to take risks, grow their network, and build their personal brand while working a 9-5 job.
Every adaptive company has a 21st century talent and HR strategy. Ben presents a bold guide for building your own.
