wishes | Archetype

Companies face pivotal challenges in an increasingly digital and diverse workplace. Addressing these challenges in 2024 is crucial for building a resilient and thriving organisational environment. We have developed a 2024 wish list and have provided you with actionable recommendations to help you start addressing these challenges effectively.

1. To recruit the right profiles

We wish for you to prioritize recruiting the right profiles, ensuring a perfect alignment with your company's culture and the specific needs of each role.

Tip: Identify the position that needs to be filled within your organization for it to grow, and establish a list of qualities that you are looking for in a candidate, regardless of the role. Additionally, consider the qualities that are complementary within your current teams. This requires assessing the strengths and characteristics of your existing team members and identifying opportunities to introduce new, complementary qualities through new candidates.

2. To cultivate strong group cohesion

We wish for you to focus on enhancing group cohesion, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment that drives team success.

Tip: Organise regular team-building activities and open communication channels can significantly boost group cohesion.

Question: Have you got something in calendar for Q1?

3. To develop the talents within your organisation

We wish for you to focus on the continuous development of your team's skills, keeping them agile, competitive, and well-prepared for future challenges.

Tip: Identify knowledge and skills gaps within your team, and implement ongoing training programs and encourage cross-functional learning to keep skills relevant and updated.

Question: how are you planning to develop your teams skills in 2024?

4. To accurately measure your teams performance

We wish for you to prioritize effective performance measurement in your teams, ensuring a balance of achievement recognition and growth potential.

Tip: Ensure that managers have regular catch-ups with their teams, and measure their productivity alongside their level of well-being.

Question: Does your company have a clear performance review system, and what is the ideal frequency for it?

5. To consider (more than ever) employee retention

We wish for you to make employee retention a top priority, creating strategies that keep your valued team members engaged and appreciated.

Tip: Through surveys, audits, or regular catch-ups, identify what matters to an employee for feeling engaged in your company. Is it lack of perspectives, workload, compensation, or company culture?

Make sure to implement a plan according to your analysis. Finding out is only the start of the process.

6. To embrace diversity and inclusion

We wish for you to prioritize building a diverse and inclusive workplace, where every individual feels valued and integral to your organization's success.

Tip: Implement unconscious bias training and diverse hiring practices to foster an inclusive environment.

Question: What processes have you implemented to ensure everyone feels included in your organization?

7. Establish a vibrant corporate culture

We wish for you to prioritize actively living and breathing your corporate culture in every action and decision, defining the true essence of your organization.

Tip: New generation put a lot of importance in a company culture to join or stay within an organisation. You've probably already listed your values, but how are they reflected in the day-to-day reality of your teams?

Ensure they are measured in actions.
