Forging the Future of Talent Management

ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION IN A TRADITIONAL SECTOR

“Give me a framework and I’ll jump out,” Anouk Van de Velde starts enthusiastically. “Lincoln is not very well known yet in Belgium, but at a group scale we rely on over 30 years of experience. We have been guiding Talents through their entire professional lifecycle for years and are now bringing that expertise to the organizational level to jointly build sustainable employability. Our experience, combined with entrepreneurship, a data-driven approach and a strong focus on human capabilities is what characterizes us as Talent Management Advisors. Our hashtag #WHENTALENTCOMESFIRST was genuinely not picked by accident. Furthermore, Lincoln Belgium also serves as a Talent Lab for the entire group: here is where we launch new products and services, like the Talent Insider Program, for instance.”

MATERIALIZE YOUR TALENT SUSTAINABILITY

“The metier of recruitment and talent management is changing. Professionals are taking their careers into their own hands and companies are looking for new ways to attract and help develop Talents. That requires an innovative vision and approach, and we fill that role with Lincoln,” Anouk says. “We keep away from transactional recruitment and connect with Talents and organizations in a proactive and above all very personal way. In doing so, we value the creation of a true ‘psychological safety zone’ for the Talents we guide. We want to know what is really going on in the workplace. Only then can you offer good insight into the context and guarantee a perfect connection between HR, the business, and the Talents themselves. For us, making Talents sustainable and guaranteeing their employability is essential. With this in mind, we guide Talents at both the individual and organizational level. Ensuring employability is the new trump card for Talent Attraction!

FACILITATING TALENT REPRESENTATION

“At an organizational level, we enable internal and proactive talent management by facilitating talent representation. We focus on long-term relationships with both companies and Talents, and we believe in the power of networking and building an ecosystem. We spend a lot of time investing in talent. That is also our most important KPI, based on the belief that the return will follow in the long-term,” Anouk concludes.
