Dear leaders,
I've checked your HR plans and discussed them with MC VPTM. So here is the feedback of the plan. And I hope you could read it through, otherwise don't read it at all. The 3 points I'm going to mention is very 【IMP】.
- Considering more factors when finalize the number of people you are going to recruit
This is very SERIOUS. When you think about the number, take factors like member retention rate (from last term and your anticipation of next term), your job description, learning point, your leadership capacity, etc into consideration. For example, if you ask for 6 newies but lose 4 or 5 or them all at the end of the term, what would you feel about that? What would your members feel about that? Will you call it
leadership experience? It will be a slap-in-your-face when you write in your resume that "I once worked for an international organization and led a team and achive blablabla..." I said it's SERIOUS. So you'd better regard it the same way.
- Think about how you can put more innovation and flexibility in your structure
You are going to have new focuses. Do you have the structure to support that? Do you need coordinators, part-time members (e.g. EP or returnee) and other types of members apart from regular long-term members (LTM)? Always remember you are
managing a team. So it's not just you tell them what to do, but more of you think about how to do it.
- Involve diverse workforce into your team
Newies are NEWies - You know what does it mean. You need 6 newies for example, the next thing you do is not expecting them to perform, but educating them and equipping them with AIESEC sense and skills. Besides newies, who else can you count on?
The answer is people who already have (part of) AIESEC experience. So, WHO have? The answer is EP and returnee (short-term member, STM). This is why we encourage so strongly about X+L Program. X+L is fucking more than an opportunity just for you guys. Actually we can involve STM in every of the 3 types of X+L. When EP is recruited in September, we could give them specific AIESEC work to do before they go abroad in January - Leadership Before eXchange. When EP is abroad, we could educate them to take opportunity to work for host LC (this is the so-called 实习生领跑计划) - Leadership During eXchange. When EP is back home (becoming returnee), we could offer more AIESEC-related job because they now have certain amount of AIESEC sense and skills. We are talking about X+L, which means integrated AIESEC experience. Given the opportunity, anyone can achieve that.
The other day, I discussed with Weina about what opportunities we could create for EPs and returnees. Yes, we talked about STM involvement over and over again. But this time, we either MEAN it or DIE from it! It's our responsibility!! Integrated AIESEC Experience is why they joined us!!!
So, think twice about your HR plan.
- Is it responsible for your members' development and is it for your own?
- Can it be more innovative to adjust to your goal?
- What can you offer to EPs and returnees?
Here are the HR plan and opportunities for STM on Myaiesec.net Files. Please check them for your own good. (Leaders who still haven't got their accounts, how can you catch up with latest knowledge? @net is the TREND.)
