How to Identify, Grow and Retain HIPO Teams? (Part 2)

Businesses should devote time and resources to developing HIPO employees to ensure that they are well prepared for leadership roles when the time is right.

Three strategies to develop your HIPO employees

1. Get Started with Skill Assessment

Assessments that measure an employee’s soft skills can help you pinpoint areas where the employee needs improvement. Collecting, analyzing, and evaluating this information ahead of time helps limit the situation when new leaders realize their shortcomings. At the same time, the assessments will screen out outstanding skills and areas to help employees focus on developing and sharing those skills with their team.

2. Empower and provide Training and Coaching courses

Although, some HIPO employees can self-improve leadership and management skills during their work, companies should provide them with training courses to not only foster and complete but also promote and take care of employee morale. At the same time, the empowerment to create space for development as well as trust will help employees have a greater sense of responsibility and trust in the business during the working process.

3. Provide, encourage employees to increase circles, social relationships

Enterprises should encourage their HIPO employees to network widely so that they can learn from a variety and in-depth different areas of the business. Organizing activities and socializing parties between HIPO employees and senior leaders inside and outside the business will help them touch many practical aspects of leadership.
