HR IS A BIG PAIN POINT FOR FAST-GROWTH COMPANIES
Nearly every week, we meet Fortune 500 and fast-growth startup execs running exciting, profitable companies. As soon as they learn we do HR Strategy Consulting, every last one starts to complain about their employees.
Turnover is high.
Engagement is low.
Too many are unproductive.
Too many are unmotivated.
Competitors are poaching our best people.
Some quit before 6 months. A few have even ghosted us this year.
All they want is to get paid more and get promoted.
Nobody wants to pay their dues anymore.
Teams don’t communicate well.
Digital transformation is too expensive and too often ineffective.
Just pricey software that nobody uses or buys into.
We just need “bodies in seats” to fuel our growth.
Can you help me?
OUR “WHY”
To empower great companies to help their employees thrive consistently, so that they can do their life’s best work, creating a virtuous circle of premium brand, profit and impact.
WHAT WE DO
At Master The Talk Consulting, we take a unique — and uniquely human - approach to HR Strategy and Organization Development.
Instead of the usual resource- and systems-heavy approach by large consultancies that too often fails to engage employees, we first work to unlock and align individual executives and middle managers’ personal Mission, Vision and Values to company mission, vision and values.
HOW WE DO IT
HR Strategy
Transitioning from startup to corporation is often chaotic and fraught for getting the HR part right. We help with creating talent-team-company alignment on Mission, Vision Values, as well as Employee Handbook creation, Hiring and On-Boarding help, Career Pathway design and implementation, setting promotion and pay increase milestones, as such helping build the on-ramp to hiring a dedicated, full-time HR Director.
Organizational Design
There is no shortage of tech solutions out there to ostensibly improve communication, project management and productivity. Getting buy-in and adoption from employees is much harder. We focus on using proven, cutting-edge best practices, tools and strategies to dramatically improve and standardize information and decision-making flows and processes, performance bench-marking and organizational project management.
Every part of our work is focused on creating and scaling a superlative Employee Experience, decreasing turnover and improving engagement, improving employee alignment, morale and productivity, leading to a virtuous cycle of happier employees, happier customers and higher revenues.
Executive Coaching
Just as importantly, we help C-suite execs to get the HUMAN part right in themselves — and in their Human Resources. We work with them to create and grow their personal brand — and the company’s — by telling their story in a compelling way.
With better alignment, they are now free to stop putting out fires and focus on solving problems strategically, empowering and trusting their employees. We coach them to automate, outsource and delegate tactical work, hire, coach, retain and develop top talent effectively, plus become effective leaders, not just managers.
Client C-Suite executives feel more aligned in all areas of their life, get invited for speaking engagements, build a thought leadership brand and win industry awards, as well as start consulting and coaching side-hustles, leading to more business opportunities.
Hands-On Implementation
In addition to creating a detailed and robust Employee Handbook to standardize company culture, we also help with Hiring and On-Boarding, Career Pathway design and implementation, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)/Team Playbook creation and Business Succession Planning.
Given our wide experience in other functional areas of building successful startups, we are also happy to recommend trusted vendors for financial model creation and management, fractional CFO and CMO and other areas.
