Chief People Talent Officer Approach
in more detail…
C-Suite Advisor
Building a high functioning team is a people business and the Chief People Talent Officer (CPTO) is in the business of people. Given the challenges and complexities of recruiting, talent and performance management, as well as diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the CPTO is a solutions-oriented change agent and a CEO’s strategic advisor that is laser focused on managing the people operations for long term sustainable growth, success and high business ROI.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advocate
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) doesn’t just happen, it must be designed. As the world continues to evolve not just in terms of technology but also in human composition, it is imperative the CPTO designs diverse, equitable and inclusive environments that will drive lasting change. Diverse staff recruitment, retention and progression will largely depend on an organization’s DEI efforts, such as training in unconscious biases, developing global competence, establishing employee resource groups, and evaluating and including diverse board representation, executive representation, and compensation transparency to gain added value of diverse thought and perspective as well as to create a fair and just workplace.
Talent Strategist
It takes a creative strategist to build high performing teams. CPTOs are forward thinking and they can benefit the bottom line. They develop and deliver trainings in conflict management, empowerment and delegation, as well as how to build trust and empathy, and branding and customer focus (just to name a few topics). Building a company’s team is much more than simply choosing the best candidate from a stack of resumes, it also requires creating learning environments, fostering curiosity, and cultivating creative leaders that can lead in nimble, global environments.
Performance Management Creator
Gallup estimates that the cost of disengagement is between $960 billion and $1.2 trillion per year. The CPTO goal is to optimize employee engagement by planning, monitoring developing, rating and rewarding team members, and to ensure that organizational culture continues to evolve to one of continuous feedback, where leaders are expected to have transparent ongoing dialogue with their team members in order to ensure that achievement and strategic objections are met.
Culture Strategist
When organizations focus on culture over stale processes, team members are happier, healthier, and more productive. The CPTO is a culture influencer and has the ability to facilitate shared values across employees, internal and external stakeholders and the community. The CPTO designs a sustained culture that drives growth, brand value and creates fundamental experiences to attract the right team members and retain existing team members.
Global Partnership Champion
The CPTO understands the importance of executing a global people strategy to build long term value and to support growth. The CPTO is a credible, engaging and authoritative leader that works with global organizations to build strong relationships and talent pipelines that will continuously attract the caliber of talent needed to achieve business objectives.
