This book is all about people strategy — the set of practices that determine how you acquire, retain, and grow your employees in order to better accomplish your company’s mission.
Companies put a lot of strategic planning into creating clear go-to-market and product strategies each year. Why aren't we doing the same for defining our people strategy? Since our people are the foundation upon which all other business strategies are built, it’s critical that we not only plan how our companies will engage with them but also how they will achieve their goals.
Over the years working with thousands of companies, Lattice has learned what it means to be a people-centric company: a company that puts people at the center of everything it does and what it takes to be such a company. We want to give executives, HR leaders, and even managers a framework for transforming their company into one that's people-centric, building and maintaining a healthy culture of high performance.
Your people are your competitive advantage. Putting them first, keeping them engaged, and aligning personal growth with company success is key to company success.
