Tahun Baru Ini Telah Tiba

Can your company mitigate the upcoming talent drain? Possibly. And you might have the best chance yet in 2019. Research from Gallup finds that one in two people has left their job to get away from a manager.
This suggests that to plug the leak, managers need to get better at actively engaging their teams. Company HR policy, senior leadership communication and direction all play a part, for sure, but they cannot explain the large variance in attrition rates (the rate of people quitting) across teams.

This is because all teams are equally exposed to the same senior leaders, employee benefits and HR policies. They do not, however, all have the same direct manager. But how can companies help all their managers, at all levels, get better at managing? In the past, the answer used to be the annual employee engagement survey and some mix of general leadership training.

While such efforts are far better than no effort, the software available in 2019 can help to supercharge the results. Josh Bersin writes that “people analytics (is) here with a vengeance” - the ability to use the power of data to drive decision-support at the managerial level is higher than it has ever been. In fact, Deloitte has found that People Data was the top human capital trend globally.

This unlocks two main capabilities to help managers: specificity and timeliness.
