13 Mar The Art of Matchmaking Blog Series: A new HR approach to the employee journey
For the last 15 years I’ve been accompanying organizations to maximize performance, retention and engagement (earlier described as job satisfaction) by implementing strategies specifically design for Human Resources projects for the recruitment & selection team, learning & development team or the employee relations team. Today we are experiencing a shift in the workforce where the organization now think about the reasons why candidates/employees want to work with them versus they need to work with them. This mindset change has impacted the role of “Human Resources to Human Transformation” as Jacob Morgan explains in his employee experience research.

Human Transformation is all about the employee experiential journey including the technology needed to be successful, the working space that defines management styles and the company culture.
The Art of Matchmaking is a holistic, integrated 7-steps signature process where the relationship between the candidate, later employee and the company strengthens as they get to know each other, blend to a common language, learn and grow together from shared lessons and shine as a recognized celebrity brand in the outer world.
