Sustainability Recruiters

The demand for talent in sustainability functions is high, with no signs of stopping. But, for years, many organizations have underinvested in sustainability, so they have a talent pool that may not be well-equipped to lead an ESG movement into the future. We help you ensure you have talent that aligns with your purpose and values that’s ready to move your social and environmental strategies forward. We can:

• Create a common language and framework for understanding talent that ensures alignment between business strategies and your sustainability efforts, including your values and purpose
• Identify the traits, drivers, competencies and experience that are linked to success in sustainability-related roles
• Identify a diverse roster of prospective talent using our rigorous, data-driven assessments
• Reskill and upskill talent with the skills they need to deliver on your transformation

Building a successful sustainability movement requires visionary, inspiring leadership. Sustainable organizations need resilient leaders who understand the issues at hand, who can forecast what’s coming next and who are capable of collaborating, negotiating and exerting influence over multiple stakeholders. They must be courageous and resilient, ready to embed sustainability in your organization’s ways of doing work. Our consultants work with you to ensure you have current and future leaders capable of accelerating progress to goals. We:

• Assess your high potentials’ strengths and skill gaps to determine opportunities for learning
• Design a training program that develops leadership and soft skills to equip future leaders 
• Ensure new high potential hires are a cultural match by reviewing their leadership competencies, personality traits and commitment to your purpose

Sustainability and ESG only succeed when your leaders and workforce are highly engaged and dedicated. And to succeed in sustainability, you can’t treat these issues as one-offs; rather, you must embed ESG in every team’s purpose. We work with employees at all levels of your organization, ensuring that everyone recognizes how their work affects your organization’s mission to become more sustainable. When an employee’s inner purpose aligns with your organization’s broader purpose, it unlocks their motivation to perform, innovate and grow. We work with you to:

• Define a purpose, mission and vision that aligns with your organization’s culture and business goals
• Create long-term ESG and carbon neutrality goals
• Advise leadership on how to foster a mindset that supports diversity and inclusion with our Inclusive Leader Program

Getting the balance between rewards that are incentivizing, fair and transparent is difficult. But if your employees don’t perceive their rewards as fair, they’ll be disengaged, and they won’t follow through on their commitments. But a reward strategy that aligns with your business imperatives and values and that’s well understood? That’s what delivers engagement—and business results. We help you build a reward structure that drives performance and rewards people for their contributions. Here’s how we do it:

• Ensure your rewards program creates followership and overcomes short-term thinking
• Create a reward framework that meets the needs and expectations of employees at different phases in their employee lifecycle
• Make sure employees understand the big picture behind your compensation and benefits strategy-and how they fit into it
