Helping you feel confident about the chosen path forward

At Let’s Talk Talent, we help you create strategies that give you a clear plan for managing your people. 

Whether that be looking at your employee experience through your HR strategy or specifically in L&D & Talent Management we know how to keep things super simple and pragmatic as well as talk to your people’s heads and hearts. Having a string strategy enables you to shape how you attract, engage, and grow great people. When done well, it helps build a positive culture, keeps your best people on board, and drives long-term success for your business. 

We see strategy as nothing more than a clear, actionable plan with defined outcomes. And when it comes to HR, it’s about having a practical, human-centred approach that gets real results. It’s not about fancy reports or endless documents – it’s about having a strategy that makes sense and drives action. 

In the end, a good strategy is more than just a plan – it’s the roadmap that helps your people and your business move forward together. So, let’s break this down and think about the differences of HR, L&D & Talent strategies and how we can support you.

What makes up an HR Strategy?

A strong HR strategy should cover the entire employee journey – from how you hire, develop, and engage your people, all the way to how you retain them. It’s about making sure every decision supports your overall business goals and helps your people succeed. Our point of difference? We keep it simple, clear, and transparent. Everything we do is focused on what really matters: delivering measurable outcomes that work together with your business and culture. 

We start by getting to the root of your biggest challenges. Whether you’re trying to improve inclusivity, reduce staff turnover, or boost engagement, we work with you to build a plan that fits your business. We speak to key people in your company, identify priorities, and map out a strategy that’s easy to follow and focused on the right results. 

Learning and Development Strategy and what it contains

When it comes to Learning and Development (L&D), it’s about more than just running courses. It’s about giving your people the tools and support they need to grow and succeed. By spotting skill gaps early and helping to fill them, a good L&D strategy can make a huge difference. Plus, investing in your people’s development is a great way to keep them engaged and motivated. At Let’s Talk Talent, we design L&D strategies that are tailored to your business and your people – so everyone can thrive. 

At its core, talent management is about identifying the skills, experiences, and behaviours that unlock employee potential. It may sound straightforward, but it can be really quite complex. 

Talent Management Strategy

Creating a seamless experience – from onboarding to career development – should be standard practice. However, few companies truly manage to provide a rich and cohesive journey for their employees. While it might seem somewhat daunting to address your entire talent strategy at once, focusing on one area at a time is manageable.  

The challenge lies in developing integrated programs that support all staff, regardless of where they are in their career with you. 

That’s where we come in. Future-proofing your organisation is a vital part of any talent management strategy, yet it’s an area where many businesses struggle. Often pushed to the bottom of the to-do list, neglecting to plan for the future can lead to long-term setbacks. 

We even have specific systems created for talent management within the public sector.

Onboarding 

A great onboarding process sets the stage for a positive employee experience right from the start. When you have a clear and organised approach, it boosts engagement, builds trust, and helps new hires connect with their teammates. Effective onboarding clarifies what’s expected and plays a significant role in retaining talent. It’s important to remember that onboarding goes beyond simple induction; while induction helps newcomers adjust to their roles, onboarding is the full journey of nurturing a new hire into a confident and capable team member. 

At Let’s Talk Talent, we understand that a thoughtful onboarding experience requires care and attention. We’ll work closely with you to assess your current process and uncover ways to enhance it, ensuring that new employees feel welcomed and valued from day one. This means not only providing essential information but also creating opportunities for connection and feedback. Getting onboarding right is crucial – did you know that over 20% of new hires leave within their first 90 days? That’s one in five people! With the high costs associated with recruitment, it’s vital to prioritize improving onboarding. Many organisations struggle to craft experiences that genuinely attract and keep great talent, but we’re here to guide you in creating a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters long-term success for your new team members. 

EVP 

An Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is crucial for attracting, engaging, and retaining top talent while elevating your employer brand. It’s the window into your organization, allowing people to imagine and understand what it’s really like to work for you. A strong EVP highlights your culture, values, and the unique benefits and opportunities you offer, helping candidates see themselves within your team. 

At Let’s Talk Talent, we’re here to help you craft an EVP that’s both authentic and compelling. Whether through tailored consultancy or our EVP Toolkit, we guide you step-by-step to define what makes your organization special. A well-crafted EVP not only draws in potential hires but also fosters a sense of belonging for current employees, enriching your workplace culture. 

With rising business costs and increasing competition for talent, having a robust EVP is key to reducing turnover. Our proven approach will help you create and launch an EVP that excites and sets you apart from the rest.
