Executive Briefings
When senior leaders and managers want to gain a quick understanding of the Employer of Choice® concept, an executive briefing may be the answer. Presentations are tailored to the group, specific needs, and designated time frame.
Content and Design
Content and design of Employer of Choice® executive briefings typically includes
The external environment creating the need
Internal environment elements creating the need
Benefits of pursuing/achieving Employer of Choice® status
The value of the journey
Leadership’s role, commitment
The process and resource requirement
Executive briefings usually include a question/answer period and/or discussion session. Often they are quite interactive, with participating executives engaging in an animated interchange around various aspects of the briefing theme.
Positioning of Executive Briefings
Corporate leadership teams have used executive briefings in several ways:
To gather information leading to a decision about pursuit of the designation
To inform and gain total commitment of key people before moving forward
To prepare senior executives and managers prior to introduction to employees
To build commitment, responsibility, accountability as an organization begins its journey to become an Employer of Choice®
To inform and engage members of a board of directors
As a precursor to evaluation of leaders or managers as part of the Employer of Choice® process
Some trade associations–local and national–have arranged executive briefings for senior executives of their member organizations. This approach affords these leaders an opportunity to learn about the concept, evaluate how energizing their company around an Employer of Choice® theme might be worthwhile, and to consider possibilities in a safe environment.
