Talent development needs each manager to own developing both team and self. This new competitive, team-based game shows how development boosts performance, and achieves this.
About
Many large companies have a wealth of resources available to help leaders build their own skills and capabilities, as well as their team's motivation and performance; but talent management is seen by the majority of managers as "something HR should do" rather than a key part of their own job. This solution was built for a leading multinational, to solve this problem and get leaders at all levels to: own the process of talent management actively plan for succession at their own level raise diversity and inclusion raise motivation and performance; hence to improve recruitment and reduce attrition through their own work. Participants work in teams online, to develop the leader and team members by allocating time and money to various activities. They also set salaries, and recruit new and replacement members in a competitive market. The game helps them learn from experience that building insight and leadership skills directly raises team performance, shows the power of diversity in attracting and retaining talent, and how succession planning requires giving people experiences outside the daily norm, to grow their capabilities. The game rounds focus on: 1. Developing the team and the leader 2. Recruitment and on-boarding 3. Succession planning 4. Managing the team's wellness The game deepens understanding of people's capacity, capability, motivation; and how to raise performance. It shows the diversity of people's motivations, and how they affect performance, recruitment and retention. It raises awareness of the leader's role in raising motivation and building capability. And above all, it demonstrates that the team's performance is in the hands, not of HR, but of the team leader. Run in the cloud, the game needs only internet access; nothing is installed on users' PCs. The game is available for delivery by our facilitators, or by training internal staff to deliver it. We are also happy to license it for use by third parties.
