Business Intelligence
HR leadership pursues evidence-based management by sourcing business intelligence from payroll, employee surveys, financial systems, “BI” software, labor market trends, industry benchmarks, etc.
Urgent Questions: 1. Are today’s recruitment programs hiring future leaders? 2. Who are the top performing employees across the
enterprise? 3. Which high performers are at risk of leaving? 4. What can we do to retain top performers? 5. What skills gaps prevent our goal achievement? 6. Which employees are ready for leadership positions? 7. What is our three-year staffing forecast?
Recruit to Retain © Gunn & Associates, Inc.
Climate Surveys How do we determine if Generation X is interested in more than
flexible work schedules and advancement?
How will we learn if our Generation Y “20-something” staff just want attention and more time off ?
What will we do to engage our Boomers so this “Gray Power” is harnessed to strengthen our competitive advantage?
1. Institutionalize employee opinion or “climate” surveys [perform annually]
2. Analyze survey results and assign action plans to leadership who can assign problem solving to high performing and high potential staff
3. Recognize leadership and hi-potential staff who direct corrective action implementations
4. Report regularly to entire employee population on status of actions

4. What would you say are strengths within our corporate culture?
5. How does our corporate culture encourage you to contribute your best? Is our culture supportive?
