WHAT MAKES AN ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYER?

Employers are increasingly faced with the burning question of what they need to offer to be perceived as sufficiently attractive by their current and potential employees. This issue touches on talent acquisition, employee satisfaction, and retention. It seems that employers are increasingly competing with attractive offers.

However, the question arises: what should employers really offer, and what are the effective levers for sustainable employer attractiveness? Should they focus more on caring and coddling their employees? Here, doubts are justified.

This lecture provides a realistic and psychological perspective on what truly drives employees. It becomes clear that the answer is not found in offering even more perks and pleasures. It’s about more self-efficacy, self-regulation, honesty, and meaningful challenges. Ball pool meetings certainly don’t do the trick.

WHO FEELS ADDRESSED?

CEOs, executives, board members, works council, leaders, managers, CHROs, HR directors, HR professionals, heads of training & development, consultants and leadership coaches

I would like to understand better what you have in mind and what you are specifically looking for.

I delivered this keynote back in 2016 in Vienna. It seems to me that what I contributed there remains highly relevant for HR today.

Are Gallup’s Engagement Numbers fake?

Gallup regularly reports on how disengaged employees generally are, but no one knows how this result is determined.

A strategic view on employer attractiveness

In my podcast and YouTube series on Human Resources Strategies, I address this topic, among others.

In my book

In my book Human Resources Strategies, I dedicate a chapter to this topic. It becomes clear that there are very different ways of thinking about it.
