Boosting Productivity and Strategic Alignment at Otta with Hyphen's Talent Development Programs

‍

A premier recruiting company, Otta.com, was facing cultural issues that led to productivity challenges and misalignment towards organizational goals. Key points to note were:

• Decreasing productivity across teams was hindering overall performance and growth.
• Individual contributors lacked understanding and alignment towards Otta.com's strategic goals, which was affecting output.
• The cultural issues were causing a dip in morale and engagement, increasing the risk of rising attrition rates.

In a strategic move, Otta.com partnered with Hyphen, a leading talent development platform, which transformed these challenges into successes:

• The collaboration resulted in a substantial increase in productivity across all teams.
• Employees displayed a clear understanding and stronger alignment with the company's strategic goals.
• Overall improvement in engagement and morale were noticed, leading to greater team cohesion and decreased attrition.

The Hyphen Approach

Hyphen introduced two distinct talent development programs at Otta.com. The Future Leaders Programme was created for individual contributors to foster leadership skills and strategic thinking, thereby enhancing productivity and alignment with company goals.

The Kickstart Programme was designed for those new to Otta.com. It provided a comprehensive understanding of the company's culture, goals, and strategies, fostering early alignment and promoting higher productivity from the outset.

Hyphen's talent development programs brought a significant boost in productivity and strategic alignment within Otta.com. Feedback from participants of the programs was overwhelmingly positive:
