Out of site, out of mind...

Out of site, out of mind...very true words for programs that a company initiates. Therefore, keep this program in front of the employee via emails notifying open positions, posting on the intranet, or publicly Fendi Sunglasses, acknowledging a successful employee as the company's "talent scout."

-Have senior leaders involved in the program's success. We all know that if top management supports a program, the program is likely to get more publicity and recognition. They could recognize at a company meeting all the "talent scouts" and present them with a token of recognition.

==>Ongoing Support of the Program-You need to have at least one champion of the program. This individual or department is responsible for keeping the employees up-to-date on the open positions as well as educating them on the value of participating in the program.

-This education must provide tips for the employee to evaluate potential employees for the company. You want them to refer candidates that are at least as good as they are or better.

-Have a lunchtime seminar...market it with $500 dollar bills (make believe) posted everywhere. The picture of the dollar bill should indicate the amount that you are actually offering for each employee referral....whatever the amount, peak the employee's interest.

-There are many places an employee can find potential candidates...friends, peers in other companies, professional organizations, someone Chanel Sunglasses, they know in another organization that could recommend a potential candidate...it's all about networking.

-If the employee has a network of contacts... have them use their rolodex to find talent for the company.
