People Solutions

Attracting The Best

Choosing the right people starts by attracting the best people. If those posts on seek.com and Linked In aren’t bringing in lots of great candidates, Blue Forge can help you identify why those first class candidates aren’t applying and formulate a plan to become the best place to work in your sector. Pro tip: you don't need to buy a ping pong table for your lunch room.

Selecting The Best

Attracting The Best

Selecting people is hard but even if you only ever allow the very best people to join your organisation, their needs will change over time just as yours will. The sad truth is many selection tools aren't much more accurate than picking names of qualified people from a hat. Blue Forge can design competency profiles and selection methodology to suit your organisation that enable you to employ and promote the most appropriate people.

Growing Capacity

When you have the wrong person

Identifying Key Talent and Succession Planning

When you have the wrong person

While you are attracting, choosing and growing an excellent group of people, you might find there are some people who don’t fit any longer. Often it’s no one’s fault, some situations don’t work or stop working, your employee is showing up and doing the minimum but no longer has a fire in their belly. This can be some of the most challenging circumstances for an organisation. You can do nothing and let morale suffer but what options do you have? Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of ways to manage this type of situation badly, but we already established you are driven by values or you wouldn’t be here. One of the most satisfying experiences you can have as a leader is enabling a dissatisfied person to find their career sweet spot, even if that is outside the organisation. Blue Forge can help develop respectful, realistic and repeatable systems to help your employees be successful – even those who no longer want to work for you.

Identifying Key Talent and Succession Planning

Your employees are on a career trajectory, the better your capacity to understand their capabilities and aspirations, the more effectively you can invest in their development.

Armed with a reliable estimation of potential, Blue Forge can then help you craft a succession matrix and to understand and plan for any succession risk.

Emerging Leaders and Leadership Development

Identifying Key Talent and Succession Planning

Leadership that is effective and consistent with your values is something you can't buy. The good news is that you can grow it yourself. Doing so will create a rich pool of developing leaders who will not only grow into your future leadership roles but will add depth to your team. The extra benefit here is that your people can see a career path and development path, keeping your best people working for you at their best.
