  • How Leadership Development Boosts Talent Retention
    2024/10/31

    Think talent management is just another HR buzzword? Think again!

    In this new podcast episode, I’m joined by Ginger Craig—an executive coach with over 20 years in the field—who recently led a transformative leadership program for BRC, a North Carolina-based firm known for putting people first.

    Together, we explore why a true investment in talent is key to retention, productivity, and making your firm a place where people want to stay. Ready for real-world strategies to develop your team?

    In this episode of the Accounting Talent Podcast, Rob Brown talks with executive coach Ginger Craig about why leadership development is the cornerstone of employee retention in accounting firms. Using the successful case of BRC, they explore how leadership investment can transform firm culture and engagement.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Leadership is more than technical skills; it requires fostering trust and clarity.
    • Firms that don’t invest in leadership face higher turnover and hidden costs.
    • BRC’s commitment to developing leaders resulted in actionable, specific feedback.
    • Sustainable learning requires practical, real-world practice and peer accountability.
    • Strong leadership fosters a feedback-rich culture that retains top talent.
    • Starting small and staying consistent makes leadership changes stick.
    • Firms need senior leadership buy-in for development programs to succeed.

    Killer Quotes:

    • "Firms that ignore leadership training are losing talent."
    • "Technical expertise alone won't keep your best people."
    • "Strong leadership isn't optional; it’s survival."
    • "Leadership training must go beyond theory."
    • "Feedback culture is key to retention."
    • "Small, consistent learning builds sustainable leadership."
    • "Effective leaders inspire and retain talent."

  • Mastering the HOW of Hiring - What Top Leaders Do
    2024/10/16

    🎯 How to Hire: Attracting Top Talent 🎯

    Knowing when to hire and who to hire is critical, but the real challenge often lies in the how. How do you actually attract top talent to your accounting firm? In an increasingly competitive market, it’s not enough to post a job ad and hope for the best. You need a strategic approach to stand out and bring in the best candidates.

    🎙 In the final episode of our Accounting Talent Podcast mini-series, we focus on how to hire. We cover practical, actionable steps to craft a recruitment process that gets the attention of top-tier candidates and ensures you hire people who will contribute to your firm’s success.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    📝 Crafting Job Descriptions: Your job description is often the first impression a candidate will have of your firm. We talk about how to make these descriptions compelling, focusing on outcomes, growth opportunities, and the impact candidates will have on your firm. These aren’t just listings—they’re your chance to inspire talent.

    🤝 Leveraging Your Network: Did you know that most hires come through personal referrals and networking, not job boards? We explore how to leverage your existing professional network to find high-caliber talent that may not be actively looking for a new role.

    💬 Optimizing Interviews: A great candidate can be lost during the interview process if it’s not done right. We discuss how to create an interview process that doesn’t just evaluate technical skills, but also assesses cultural fit and long-term potential.

    🚀 Onboarding and Development: Attracting talent is only half the battle. We cover the importance of strong onboarding programs and continuous development opportunities, ensuring your new hires stay engaged and committed for the long haul.

    Hiring is more than just filling roles. It’s about building a team that will shape the future of your firm. 🎧 Listen to this episode and learn how to take your hiring process to the next level.
