To attract and retain talent, companies must offer interesting career prospects, but above all, they must ensure the well-being of their employees and their management policies.
Proximity management is an important key to getting information up and responding effectively to the new needs of employees, particularly those of Generation Y (born between 1980 and 1996). Managers must adapt to the new demands of these young people: flexibility in managing working time, better balance between professional and private life, etc. In order to attract this generation, which is so difficult to capture, companies must be able to offer new tools: access to applications via smartphones and tablets, use of new technologies and corporate social networks.
Shared management, combining individual support and centralized decision-making, helps retain employees. Annual reviews are a key part of this. They allow for formalization, evaluation, and exchange, while highlighting the employee's wishes, aspirations, and motivations in order to compare them with the company's current and future needs. HR must rely on managers to match talent with positions to be filled in the coming years, in line with the company's strategy. This will involve, for example, establishing succession plans, which will identify internal candidates or trigger, if necessary, an external recruitment strategy.
