Change Capabilty Development
Getting the Right People on the Bus
Change capability development is about “getting the right people on the bus”. Ultimately, people and culture are what differentiates great companies from merely good ones - everything else can be replicated, marginalised, or superseded. Ensuring you have the right people, and constantly investing in their development, will give you an engaged, motivated, and capable workforce that suffers less churn and disruption, and ultimately creates competitive advantage.
There are numerous studies that indicate fully engaged employees result in increased profits. It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s also the commercially smart thing to do
Attracting, developing, and retaining the right people in your team is never more important than during times of change. As your organisation changes, it’s essential you not only have the right skills on board, but also the people possessing them are a good cultural fit for your business.
At changemaker, we’ll help you hire the best person in terms of skills, experience, and cultural fit. We’ll help you develop your people, individually and as teams, so you get the most out of them and they get the most out of working for you. And if a time comes when you need to transition people out of your organisation, we’ll work help you ensure it’s as good an experience as possible and they’re helped to find their next role.
Managing employee recruitment, retention, and transition is critical to the eventual success of any change initiative. That’s why our capability development team spends so much time and effort understanding the needs of your business, culture and situation - not only today, but in the future you’re building towards. This attention to detail is why our clients regard us as trusted partners, not transactional suppliers. Our measures of success are the quality of the team we help you build and the value we create together.
Recruitment
Successful recruitment is the mutual fulfilment of two sets of needs. Employers want someone who can do the job and can quickly integrate into their organisation. Candidates want a fulfilling role that allows them to realise their potential and aligns with their values and motivators.
Successfully balancing both sides of the equation isn’t just a “numbers game”. It requires an investment of time and the application of both experience and empathy to understand both employer and candidate and ensure each matches the other’s needs. We have more than 30 years’ experience doing exactly that, with companies both large and small.

Retention and Growth
Many companies waste money on hiring good people who subsequently leave because they feel they must if they’re going to continue to grow. We believe the smart approach is to nurture your top talent - keep them motivated and engaged, encourage them to take on new challenges and push their boundaries. That way, not only do you minimise attrition and protect your investment in people, but also your organisation becomes stronger, more capable, and generates greater customer value.

Transition
The business environment is always unpredictable and it’s an unpleasant but unavoidable fact that you’ll have to transition people out of your organisation at some point. Great companies care as much about the experience people have when they leave as when they join and as they grow.
