At first glance, everything is running smoothly: new colleagues are starting, the teams are running smoothly and work is progressing nicely. But do you ever wonder whether you could do things smarter, more efficiently or more future-oriented? Maybe you notice that processes are difficult, that finding the right people takes too long or that you are constantly putting out fires. No big alarm bells, but signals that it is time to take a critical look: do you really have a grip on your total workforce?
Time for the next step: Total Talent Management
Total Talent Management (TTM) is an integral approach that allows you to bring together all talent streams, permanent and flexible, into one clear strategy. Not only to optimise costs, but especially to respond to changing personnel needs in an agile and future-proof way.
But how do you know if your organisation is ready for TTM?
Here are the five key signals:
1. You do not have a complete overview of who is working
Information about employees is fragmented across teams, systems or suppliers. You don't have a complete overview of who is working, when, through which structure.
2. Permanent and flex work alongside each other
Recruitment and hiring are separate processes. This leads to overlap, delays and missed opportunities.
3. Difficulty finding the right people quickly.
Whether permanent or temporary, it takes a lot of time and energy to find the right person at the right time.
4. Focus on the short term
The focus is mainly on solving shortages immediately, leaving strategic workforce planning underexposed.
5. No grip on costs and deployment
There is no clear overview of hiring, contract forms, performance and risks. This makes effective management difficult.
