WAR FOR TALENT IS BACK IN EUROPE

Paris, September, 2015 – Priscilla Motte, Managing Partner, N.I.Partners explains why « War for Talent » is back in Europe.

War for talent is back in Europe. Why ? Because more than ever, what will make the difference for a company will be the competencies and value that talents can bring.

The companies who are successful today may not be the ones who will be successful in ten years.

What do we mean by talents ? We not only mean strong competencies but also “soft skills” such as flexibility, communication, courage, self-motivation, influencing skills, and leadership. The talents we are looking for today will be the Leaders of tomorrow. They also need to be able to handle day to day communication, crisis communication, change management and business transformation. Today, how many top level executives are able to manage crisis communication in a complex and international environment ?

Because our environment is changing every day, those who are able to adapt quickly , analyse their market, identify key strategies , take the right decisions and have the courage to implement them are the ones we are looking for.

My advice to companies is this one : anticipate your needs, identify key competencies that will bring value to your company and, start looking for Talents with competencies that will add value to your company even before you need them.

Why ? You never know exactly when a Talent will decide to leave your company or, when you will need those specific skills and behaviors (ie : digital skills, innovation skills , business development, market access, strong leadership, transformation skills, change management skills ….). At least, you will be ready to act quicker when you have prepared your search for these Talents and competencies.

Anticipate and be prepared to reach out to the Best Talent and Competencies on your market in order to differentiate yourself and be stronger than your competitors.

WAR FOR TALENT is back and Executive Search professionals with strong recruiting experience and market expertise can really add value to organizations facing these major challenges.

Le Management des Talents

Paris, 18 Décembre 2014 – Le Management des Talents : Pourquoi est-il crucial dans un marché pharmaceutique où il y a peu de recrutements ?

– La première raison est que dans un marché d’ hyper-compétitivité et d’incertitude, le Management des talents amène les salariés à être plus performants et plus impliqués dans le business. L’environnement de l’entreprise évolue de plus en plus en faveur des individus capables de « faire la différence » et d’ « apporter de la valeur ». L’entreprise est à la recherche de l’excellence à travers les talents qui possèdent pour l’entreprise des « avantages compétitifs individuels » qui s’expriment à travers ce qu’ils font mieux que les autres et à travers leurs comportements exceptionnels.

– La deuxième raison est : « If you take care of the people , they take care of the business »; Développer les talents et l’ excellence individuelle. En effet aujourd’hui toutes les entreprises bénéficient des mêmes processus de R&D, production , logistique, achats (…) alors ce qui fait réellement la différence ce sont ses talents. Ces hommes et ces femmes dotés d’atouts personnels exceptionnels et qui sont capables de « faire la différence » et d’ apporter à l’entreprise une stratégie de différenciation. L’entreprise sait qu’elle ne pourra pas remplacer un talent à l’identique car lorsqu’un talent quitte l’entreprise, c’est tout un système qui sera déséquilibré et bousculé.

– La troisième raison est que l’entreprise doit savoir fidéliser ses talents : c’est un combat de tous les jours et l’environnement doit être stimulant et reconnaissant pour qu’un talent reste dans la même entreprise. En effet, un talent est souvent plus mobile car il est plus sollicité que les autres. L’ entreprise doit réaliser que les ressources individuelles d’un talent ne lui sont offertes que « temporairement » et non pas « définitivement ». C’est donc pour l’entreprise un « avantage compétitif précaire » sur lequel elle doit savoir capitaliser au maximum afin de se différencier de ses concurrents sur son marché.

« War for Talent »

 
Priscilla Motte, Partner Executive Search

 « War for Talent »

 Paris, April 13th, 2011 – Priscilla Motte, Partner  in charge of the European Healthcare practice for Neumann International, explains why « War for Talent » is back in the Healthcare industry.

 Today health authorities at global level are putting more pressure on compliance, regulatory, clinical data, product safety, health technologic assessment, pricing and reimbursement, health economics and outcomes research (…). This means that companies have to strengthen their strategies in three areas : product development, market access and product pricing. Companies who want to stay competitive and differentiate from others have no choice but adapt quickly to these changes and really think in terms of “value” “compliance” “process” or “efficiency”. What value do they bring to patients ? What value do they bring to doctors ? What value will they bring to the market with their new drug or medical device? Does the value of their product justifies the price the organization wants for it ? Is their company compliant with business practices and health regulations ? Which processes will support business practices and sales efficiency ? War for talent is back. Why ? Because more than ever what will make the difference for a company is the quality and value that talents can bring. The companies who are successful today may not be the ones who will be successful in ten years. What do we mean by talents? We not only mean strong hard skills but also “soft skills” such as flexibility, open communication, creativity, courage, accountability, self-motivation,  integrity,  international outlook, influencing skills, vision and leadership. The talents we are looking for today will be the Leaders of tomorrow. They also need to be able to handle day to day communication and crisis communication. Today, how many top level executives are able to manage crisis communication in a complex environment ?

WAR FOR TALENT is back and executive search professionals with strong  healthcare expertise can really add value to organizations facing these major challenges.
