If you want to attract the best talents, you need to put your best foot forward. That’s where employer branding comes in. Just as you use marketing to inform potential customers about the benefits of your products and services, the employer brand shows candidates what you stand for, what you have to offer, and what it’s like to work for you.

Employer branding is critical in today’s competitive talent landscape, as employees will gravitate toward companies that suit them. Monarchjais helps companies develop dynamic, genuine employee value propositions (EVPs). And once we’ve created an EVP, we can help you redesign and refresh the employment content on your careers site, improve job descriptions, engage current employees as brand ambassadors and come up with an effective external recruitment marketing plan.

Manpower Planning is a managerial process that links the human resource needs of the organization to its strategic plan to ensure the availability of right kind of people in sufficient number at the right time doing the right things to achieve the organization’s objectives. Proper manpower planning helps to enable the organization to efficiently utilize its human resources.

Many organisations do conduct annual manpower planning, but very few have a clearly defined process for identifying and responding to strategic talent gaps. They fail to address the talent challenges most critical to the organisational long term strategy. The manpower plan needs to be focused on short term as well as long term needs as determined by the business strategy. Effective manpower planning in addition to being strategy driven should also identify risks to strategy execution as well as offer a proactive solution that explores a broader set of activities.

Employee performance management can be one of the biggest headaches in business ownership. Understanding how to effectively give positive affirmations and constructive feedback can be an artful skill. Many business owners and managers do not feel comfortable coaching their employees to be more productive and successful. All too often, managers wait until they are completely frustrated with the employee to communicate any dissatisfaction in performance. Having a process in place and training managers to address issues as they arise will make a huge impact on productivity, which always impacts the company financials. Also, in practicing a process that addresses undesirable performance before it becomes a real problem, the working relationship has the potential to be more rewarding for both the employer and employee.

There is no single definition of ‘Employee Engagement’. However, there are some important elements that you should examine to see whether your employees are engaged. If your people are company and product advocates, not only stay but intend to stay with the organisation, and put in discretionary effort, then they are exhibiting strong signs of employee engagement. When employees are engaged, they strive beyond the expectations set for their role.

Without employee engagement, you are likely to have high employee turnover, low productivity and low morale. Your company will likely have brand and/or reputational risk issues as disengaged employees talk badly of the company and/or its products. People that leave the organisation may also go to your competitors and pass on company strategy. It is also possible that you may be experiencing what’s called ‘presenteeism’. This is where people come to work, hence the low turnover rate, but basically just go through the motions. Presentees do not make any discretionary effort, do the bare minimum without enthusiasm and clock on and clock off on the dot (and not a minute over!). Don’t be fooled: they are not engaged. So how can you tell if your people are engaged, particularly if your retention rates are ok? Surveying staff is one method. Talking to staff, observing staff behavior and delving beneath reported results is another. Don’t rely on any one method – what people say and what they do can be very different things! Hence, Monarchjais can help you analyze and assess the key areas of employee engagement in your organisation, and develop a plan to address any deficiencies.

Gone are the days when employees would remain with the same company for their entire career. And yet your success depends on keeping them longer. Our Consultants at Monarchjais work with you and your teams to develop a solid action plan to maximize your employee retention and minimize your internal costs. Simply asking employees what could be improved is not enough. Companies must make changes to demonstrate that employee feedback and specific concerns have been heard. We work with you to help make the positive changes you need to increase your employee retention rates.

We have recognized the need and developed a program to help employees STAY at companies. Our STAY program supports managers in recognizing and appreciating their vital role in keeping their people.

Our interactive, fast-paced STAY program for managers and supervisors outlines clear steps designed to decrease the specific attrition threats they individually face.
