Employee Retention
The challenges facing a high-growth, fast paced business are multiple and complex. Losing key team members is both very costly and incredibly disruptive, often leading to damage to the team culture and dynamic, and potentially opening the door for others to leave.
When considering creating a culture where people want to stay, grow and thrive, the first recommended intervention is to look at what exists currently. This will provide insight into what works well, what strengths can be built on and what could cause talented employees to become frustrated and look to leave the organisation.
Culture Review: Stage 1
Interview staff members 1:1 with a set of pre-agreed questions designed to uncover the current and desired situation. This would be complemented by a review of pre- selected people processes, for example, internal communications, development planning, succession planning, cultural statements: Purpose, Values, Behaviours.
Culture Review: Stage 2
You will receive a report containing the outcome of the interviews and review, with a set of recommendations that can be readily implemented.
Once you have reviewed the report you may decide to dig deeper into some areas as you consider how you can enhance your organisation even further through employee engagement initiatives and making them feel invested in.
I was recruited by David for the role of Chair of Mixergy a cleantech start-up company entering its growth phase. David was professional throughout the process, he not only kept me updated on my progress though the recruitment steps but also offered guidance on how VC led investment boards approached the challenge of securing a chair. David continued to stay in contact after the selection decision was made to ensure that my first month in Mixergy was a positive experience also checking in with the other board members – excellent stakeholder management. From initial contact, through the interview process, contract discussions and starting the role, David was supportive, engaging and effective. He delivered an excellent fit between client side requirements and my skill set and aspirations, great work!
David Hunt and Hyperion have been involved in several high-level recruitments for EVBox, both in the UK as well as other European countries. Professional, thorough and consistently going the extra mile are but just a few reasons that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hyperion when recruiting new staff.
JenaBatteries was looking for an addition to our leadership team. We needed a recruiting professional who can understand what we need and who has a strong candidate network to quickly identify the best match. Wolfgang Kick at Hyperion exceeded our expectations.
