In light of social and economic changes, the current workforce has undergone a major shift in values, expectations, and tolerance. The employee of just 5 years ago is very different than the employee of today. This new breed – the Emergent Employee – crosses all ages, races, genders, and geographies, and is revelation that is quickly changing the way organizations attract, develop, manage, and retain top talent. To be successful, companies must understand and adapt to the new, Emerging Workforce.
Retensa’s Emergent (Employee) Lifecycle (ELC) is an organizational model that frames the employee-firm relationship in eight (8) chronological stages from pre-recruitment to post-separation. The ELC allows companies to address the different needs, wants, and expectations of employees at each stage of the relationship. With the right tools and continuous feedback across the employee lifecycle, companies can develop strategies to successfully retain and manage their talent.
Managing the employee that has been with you for 10 days should be very different than the employee with you for 10 years. However, Employee Lifecycles are happening in your organization every day – they are happening whether you manage them or not.
By applying this model, you can measure overall organizational effectiveness, manage a workforce to increase performance, and maximize savings on the costs of hiring, developing, and managing Top Talent (the Total Cost of Management – TCM)
