HR Services and Solutions For Your Business
Dear Colleague,
I hope this first edition of our newsletter finds you enjoying the beginning of the summer season.
For me, the great weather of Memorial Day Weekend put an end to my spring chores and I found myself looking for more opportunities to relax. As a fellow business owner I know that finding time to do this isn't always possible and that inevitably problems arise that affect your "downtime" and keep you awake at night. If you or your clients have people problems that are keeping you up at night, give us a call. We can help you find the service or solution that gives you peace of mind and lets you get a good night's sleep in hectic times.
Have a safe and prosperous summer season.
Phil
Strategic Thinking Doesn't Happen Overnight
How many time have you heard the phrase
"We need to think more strategically "A 2007 study by The Forum Corp., a Boston-based company that works with Fortune 1000 companies to develop leaders' strategic abilities, found that most leaders weren't equipped with the skills needed to execute their companies' growth strategies. The study found that while there is a core group of leadership skills, there are also specific skills that leaders should use when leading an organic growth strategy that are significantly different than those they should use when they're leading a merger and acquisition or growth strategy," The problem is that most companies don't account for these distinctions and therefore leaders are ill-equipped. Sometimes, executives want their leaders to be ready to take on strategic intitiatives but don't know how to have leader removed from constantly being pulled into meetings to manage tactical issues. The study emphasized the importance of building up the subordinate employees' reputations within the company so that the business partners wouldn't feel they had to involve the leader in order to get things resolved. Not only does this allow you to actively promote the capabilities of your staff to others but allows you as a leader to spend time on the "big picture" issues.

The Hourglass Effect in Hiring
By the year 2010 there will be over 78 million baby boomers in the workplace many of whom will be looking to retire in the next 10 years. These "boomers" born between 1945 and 1964 currently represent over 80% of the executives leading businesses today. Generation X, which is the name given to the first group of baby boomer children born between 1964 and 1981,currently represents only about 50 million of todays workers. It's not until Generation Y, those 70 million boomer children born after 1981, begin to populate the workplace that this employment "hourglass" begins to replenish.
Good News and Bad News
The good news for the boomers is that there aren't enough Generation X ers to backfill position vacancies caused by retirement thus, those boomers who don't want to retire or can't retire due to financial need, should be able to continue gainful employment. The bad news is since this boomer group represents many of today's top leaders, the shortfall in both the number of Gen Xers and the failure of many organizations to establish viable succession plans, will leave a skill gap that could plague corporations for many years to come.
If your organization is being "pinched by the hourglass" we can help you develop a workforce planning and talent management plan to help insure the success of your company. To learn more give us a call at 610-287-1162 or email me at phil@hrsolutionsonline.com.
