Organizational Alignment
What's it about?
Can your organization be sure that everyone is pulling in the same direction? Can you quickly communicate and implement a change in direction? How much more productive would your organization be if everyone saw how their organizational and individual goals contributed to the success of the company?
How's it done?
Our vast experience at OrganizationMetrics indicates that Organizational Alignment may have the greatest return of all of the Talent Management practices. But to be effective, alignment needs to consider all aspects of work such as managerial relationships, project requirements and job functions. Top performers have a tendency to clearly visualize how their goals contribute to the organization's success. Why not extend this insight to and across your entire workforce?
What's the return?
Aligning employee goals to corporate strategy yields great returns by eliminating misdirected work and improving engagement, which in turn increases retention. But astonishingly, surveys indicate that less than 10% of the workforce fully understands their company's strategy and how they contribute to it. If an employee spends even 30 minutes per day on misdirected tasks it amounts to over 100 hours per person per year being wasted.
