Solving the People Puzzle

Whether leading or working alongside colleagues, our ability to build trust, to create connection, and to switch people on and grow them is a critical requirement… Both in terms of mindset and method. But this is not easy, in fact it’s often extremely difficult to do.

People are complicated! People matter in our businesses, so how do we attract them, switch them on and keep them switched on?

This is the question we attempt to answer in this short interview between Francois de Wet and Mark Sham.

When implemented with discipline and focus, a structured performance management approach helps keep everyone aligned with strategic goals. It also focuses people’s attention on what needs to get done and when.

Without it, management can easily get off track and forget to measure and reward what it has told everyone is important.

Let's be honest, we're never surprised when we encounter performance management processes that were set up with the best intentions, but never panned out to their full potential. But does this mean that you should dismantle your entire review process? Definitely not!

It’s likely that your performance management process just needs a little tweaking, which is why Francois de Wet sat down to pick the mind of HR expert, Rose Elcock.

When Rose Elcock founded VHRS six years ago, she made it her mission to create a complete HR solution that can help businesses with every stage of the employee journey. Since then she has worked with over 80 companies to implement HR processes that produce measurable results.  She is particularly passionate about optimising performance, which is a key product in the company’s offering.

With a degree in psychology, international experience in corporate HR, and a wealth of experience in the SME sector, Rose has fine-tuned her approach in a way that is relevant to South Africa’s unique HR landscape.

It’s no surprise that humans are hardwired to see artificial intelligence as a threat. We're living through an era in which  the need for interaction with other people is diminishing – where ordering a meal, a taxi, or making an appointment no longer requires a phone call or an outing.

This raises an important question: Is artificial intelligence (AI) coming to take our jobs?

In this episode Francois interviews Seline van der Wat, Industrial Engineer and Chief Operating Officer at hearX Group, who explains why it’s time to stop worrying about being replaced by machines, and start embracing the opportunity that automation offers to help us rediscover our humanity.

Strong leaders drive organisations to achieve greatness, while ineffective leaders create cascades of damage. With that being said, it’s incredibly important to build a pipeline of promising leaders across disciplines, and it’s never too early to begin.

Developing leaders doesn’t happen by accident. It is an intentional process that involves continual challenge, evaluation, and feedback — and it is one that never ends.

So, what can you do to develop leadership within your organisation? 

In this episode, Francois de Wet explores the topic with Natasha Moller, HR Director at Distell, a global business with roots in South Africa. Natasha has a wealth of experience, knowledge and practical advice to share with you.

As humans, we have an innate need to belong — to one another, to our families and friends, and to our culture and country. The same is true when we’re at work. When we feel like we belong at work, we're more productive, more motivated, more engaged and more likely to contribute to our fullest potential.

With that being said, how can we apply this to our own organisations? What can we do to build our work relationships and truly get to know one another in a way that develops a sense of belonging.

In this episode Francois de Wet explores the topic with Stiaan Pienaar, Global People & Payroll Leader at Ocean Basket.
