CAREER DEVELOPMENT

SUPPORT, DEVELOPMENT, MOTIVATION AND LOYALTY OF HR, YOUR MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE
The topic of staff development in a startup under a hundred employees is of scarcely any importance in the first few months.
Yet here are some examples why this leads to problems:
  • Insufficient hierarchy exacerbated by high energy within the team, leads to conflict.
  • The overall quality of the work goes down through employees with lacking professional skills, who don't get additional training; such employees are frustrated, the risk of mistakes grows, and this leads to resignations.
  • Inexperienced employees (sometimes even interns) are placed too quickly into management positions without enough management training; they have to deal with time-intensive tasks, such as how to successfully control their team.
  • Structure-building issues are put off, because of limited organizational capacity, resulting in a loss of morale, dissatisfaction, and loss of the most important employees.

SOME WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS BEFORE STARTING WITH KICKSTART-HR
  • "Many of our HR team managers are still inexperienced with cracking the whip, which we have very quickly needed."
  • "Our HR managers are too over-worked, to ensure enough time to lead their team."
  • "Actually we need to rouse our people's motivation, but we don't exactly know how."
  • "Our managers urgently need training in negotiations!"
  • "There is an issue with a team leader, which requires individual coaching, but actually it would be the best for all the managers."
  • "Why are so many of our people jumping ship? What can we do?"
  • "What should we arrange for our new employees? Is an onboarding process really necessary?"
  • "Does it makes sense to clarify our own core values? Should HR take this on, or otherwise how can we do it when we don't have a minute to spare?"
  • "We're growing extremely fast and the first conflicts are starting to arise!"
  • "We're worried that our best managers will leave, which would be a total disaster. Somehow we've got to do something, but no one has the time."
