As the talent war wages on, organizations must constantly evolve their strategies for recruiting and hiring. Employee-employer relationships are becoming increasingly complex and the power is shifting largely toward the employee. Recently, employees have taken on a role more similar to consumers.

Salary is not the number one factor.  fixed salary comes in eighth on the list. It is easy to switch jobs.

A recent article by the Harvard Business Review  titled,  People Before Strategy,  discussed how CEOs should be working with the CHRO to elevate HR’s role as a high level strategist within the C-suite. In the article, research showed that CEOs consistently name human capital as their top challenge, yet the same CEOs rank HR as only being the eighth or ninth most important function. This discrepancy causes major business alignment issues within an organization. So, why does the CEO see human capital as their biggest issue, but rank it so low on importance? Understanding the CHRO Role.

Employees are most commonly referred to in financial terms as an organization’s largest expense.  While it is true that employee-related costs often account for 50-80% of operating expenses, this categorization ignores the true value of employees. In fact, human capital is an organization’s most valuable asset. Without employees, an organization lacks strategy, productivity, and ultimately, revenue. Executives that treat their employees as assets, not liabilities or expenses, will be able to attract and retain top talent in today’s volatile market. Employees certainly fit into this definition.

Organizations are full of hardworking individuals. However, when hardworking individuals are grouped together at an organization, the competition can become fierce. One may become obsessed with the idea of being the best employee , to the point where work slowly begins to take precedence over their personal life. Life is precious and short. Younger generations joining the workforce are beginning to realize their life does not need to be consumed by long hours at the office. More and more top talent is demanding equal balance between work and life. Sometimes the best things are done on a whim.

As a college student, it can be difficult to decide what you want to do, where you want to be, and who you want to work for. Fortunately, many companies offer internships so that young adults have the opportunity to gain work experience throughout their college careers. In some cases, you may intern at a company that you absolutely despise. On the other hand, you might intern with a company that you decide you would like to continue working for post graduation.

It is hard to talk about the topic of motivation or leadership without using a quote from a famous athlete or coach. Long has the corporate world taken inspiration from professional sports to drive employee motivation and teach leadership lessons. However, many overlook the critical lessons that can be learned from a professional team’s deep-rooted collaboration and culture. Members of a sports team embrace their franchise and feel a sense of belonging and ownership that is largely unrivaled in a modern day corporation.
