Human Capital
 
In today's knowledge economy human capital is fast outstripping land, equipment and financial capital as your enterprise's most important resource. The ability to attract and retain the best people and to effectively utilize their skills and abilities will distinguish successful companies in the new millennium.


THE LOBUE PERSPECTIVE
  The importance of the "knowledge worker", the challenges of a tight labor market and the increasing performance demands on employees means senior managers are increasingly focusing on people issues:
  • Competition for good resources is fierce
  • Change is no longer periodic but ongoing - creating new stresses and increased workloads for managers and employees
  • Research confirms that employee satisfaction leads to customer satisfaction. The management challenge lies in creating an environment where each employee can make a genuine contribution and be recognized for their accomplishments
  • Everyone is overwhelmed with information and the need for continuous learning of new skills and knowledge

In the new global economy of increasing competition and changing customer demands, successful companies must:
  • Be able to effectively utilize the skills and knowledge of each and every employee
  • Foster teamwork and innovation
  • Attract and retain the best resources

THE LOBUE APPROACH
  The LoBue Group brings Real Experience and a variety of programs and tools to the challenges associated with optimizing human resources

Cultural Assessments and Employee Surveys are customized to individual client situations. After administering these assessments, LoBue works with the management team to evaluate the results, identify "root causes", develop action plans to address all identified issues and implement appropriate programs.

Job Design initiatives use the rules of good process design as a foundation and focus on maximizing the contribution of each employee. As part of the job design required skills and knowledge are identified. This information becomes the basis for design of appropriate training initiatives and knowledge capital programs.

Management Process programs focus on the overall management process for the business with a strong emphasis on human resource aspects. A management process program will implement effective performance appraisal processes, coaching and communication programs and ongoing employee feedback programs.

Knowledge Development programs encompass job skills, competencies and experience based knowledge. LoBue works with clients to inventory existing skills and knowledge, identify required skills and knowledge and design tools and processes for sharing knowledge. A principal focus is to facilitate teamwork and support employee's ability to organize themselves against corporate initiatives.

Adaptive Workforce works to implement an adaptive, learning culture which can respond to rapid market changes, deliver to clients ahead of the competition and attract, retain and effectively utilize human capital. This comprehensive program integrates existing programs and new tools and technologies based in the new sciences. Program components include leadership transformation, implementation of effective feedback loops, ongoing coaching, establishment of teamwork as a core value and implementation of effective communication programs at all levels of the organization.

The above programs and tools may be integrated into larger change initiatives or implemented to address specific organizational needs.
