A summary of our activities
Attracting the right Talent: SOURCING PEOPLE
They are getting increasingly rare … and potentially expensive! The top talent that makes the difference: just you go out and find them and make sure they will be a perfect fit within your organisation ...
Altior finds them for you! Executive search is our trade-in-stock: an in-depth understanding of the labour market, encyclopaedic knowledge of “who is who in the world of trade and industry”, an extensive network in every sector, all of which is underpinned by efficient databases en state-of-the-art sourcing techniques.
Altior screens top talent … in terms of skills and competences, in terms of how they can best be deployed and in terms of how they will fit within your company and its culture. No risk, as “they make your capital dance”. Experience businesses consultants, ably assisted by successful managers and entrepreneurs, move to screen your (potential) talent, setting out from their insight and acumen, their broad-based experience, their comprehensive understanding of the world of business, complemented with the latest state of the art assessment techniques.
Altior also operates abroad! Your company has sites or partnerships abroad? In Western and Eastern Europe, Asia or the USA? Looking for local top talent in any of these regions? Not a matter-of-course! Cultural differences, language barriers, the local world of trade and industry proving unfamiliar territory ... Altior pulls out all the stops and throws the registers of its foreign networks wide open to find the right top talent in close consultation with local partners.
Altior steers the entire process and vouches for the result
Charting talent: AUDITING PEOPLE
A chartered public accountant signs the annual statement of accounts as a true reflection of the value of the assets for the benefit of the shareholders, laying down restrictions and putting forward recommendations where necessary.
In much the same way, Altior “signs” the people assets further to a comprehensive audit, cataloguing the skills and competences of your top talent, if need be with restrictions in terms of discrepancies and recommendations for improvement. Even if your “people assets” are not included in the financial balance sheet as such, they are probably the singlemost important assets your company has on its ‘books’. In this respect, the Altior network relies on its consummate business experience and hands-on experience in auditing human potential
Organisational architecture: CASTING PEOPLE
A well-oiled organisation, where everything runs smoothly … with the right people, filling the right roles in the right places at the right time, drawing on the right business processes, efficient information flows, and steered by an efficient management and inspiring leadership: an organisation with the right mechanics and the right chemistry … a dream organisation!
More often than not, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And everything starts out with “Casting People in Organisations”! Are we deploying our people in positions where they can effectively play to their strengths? Do they know what role they are playing?
Are they aware what is expected of them? Do they act in complement to each other? What do they know, what are they capable of and what are they looking for in terms of personal job satisfaction? How much potential do they harbour for tomorrow? ...
Altior is widely experienced in tracing out potent organisational structures, with clearly defined roles, responsibilities and powers of authority for each of your talents, in due consideration of the existing and prospectively uncharted skills and competences of your staff, and of their own (often hidden) expectations ... all the more so as top talent needs to be cherished and nurtured, especially in today’s environment.
Guiding and steering Talent & Teams: MONITORING PEOPLE
You have attracted and catalogued your top talent, you have clearly defined the roles and responsibilities, mapped out the architecture of your company and your business plan, laid down the road map to take you to your objective. None of which is a straightforward itinerary: your company is continuing to grow, the market is constantly changing, your vision is redressed and amended, new opportunities and challenges arise. You are seeking to ensure the due continuity and profitability of your business in the long term and take your talent and your team to “even higher” levels. And retain them. You are looking to put in place a “talent & performance dashboard”, enabling you to steer your talent and your team in the right direction.
Altior is there to provide this dashboard, with all the expert know-how and the appropriate tools to monitor the performance of your top talent and your team and to make adjustments where needed: setting objectives and performance indicators, devising and successfully implementing an assessment system, identifying the real talents and the top-grade performers, devising development itineraries and career paths, linking performance to compensation …
Altior is on hand to take top talent to even higher levels, in the right direction. Experienced consultants and entrepreneurs with a professional business-like mindset and a broad-based corporate background as well as due psychological perspicacity, acting as a soundboard to help steer your business approach, management and leadership style, offering tips for remedial action and development, bringing together the right top talent, all singing from the same hymn sheet, in mutual respect with the sights firmly set on results.
Recompensing Top talent: REWARDING PEOPLE
“Talent Makes Capital Dance”. And the same holds true the other around: “Capital Makes Talent dance” … it is all a matter of give and take! Talent needs to be appropriately rewarded and recompensed. ‘Appropriate’ meaning: in compliance with prevailing market standards, whilst serving as an incentive and a motivator!
Like no other, Altior is exceedingly knowledgeable about compensation and salary issues. Not just about salary levels but every bit about the intricate aspects of variable compensation, incentives, forms of participation and fringe benefits. Altior works closely with outside experts in the area of tax-legal matters in this field. We are every bit as knowledgeable about the make-up of internal compensation systems, in-house “classes”, salary bands, growth lines, etc. … always in a straightforward, clear manner, in line with your company profile and in support of the bottom line.
