An "Alpha" employee is described as someone who:
- Is good at what they do
- Likes what they do
- Likes who they work for
- Has good interpersonal communication skills
Finding a good workforce is no longer a personnel issue; it’s a business issue. It affects your budget and group performance. Strong networking abilities must be encouraged and rewarded.
Does your organization utilize gatekeepers or qualifiers? There is a difference; gatekeepers keep people out; qualifiers help you find and select talented professionals within their networks.
Utilize these qualifiers and alpha employees to help you on all levels of the hiring process. By revitalizing your procedures you will open the door to a more diverse candidate pool.
