Attract and retain the right employees
Current challenges include:
- Few or no applicants, frustrating recruitment and a shortage of skilled workers.
- Changing attitudes and motivation: new values, work–life balance, the search for meaning and personal fulfilment.
- Employees leaving because of poor leadership culture, insufficient social skills or leadership development, overload, burnout, boreout and disengagement.
- Diversity-related conflict, communication difficulties and discrimination.
- Gender pay gaps, representation and power dynamics.
- Willingness to change jobs: the programme’s original description cites 42% of employees and leaders as open to a new role, alongside issues such as working hours and too much or too little challenge.
The consequences include lost revenue, profit, orders and customers, internal conflicts, overwork, frustration and demotivation. Further resignations make the problem worse and can threaten the business.
Traditional recruitment and retention strategies are no longer enough. Simply increasing familiar efforts through recruiters, headhunters or public agencies can mean higher costs and fewer results. The sustainable opportunity is a new leadership and team culture combined with innovative recruitment and development.
Together with you, LeadingX designs an effective Xacademy for attracting and retaining employees. With an improved mindset, we combine the four dimensions around finding, winning and retaining the right people.
The results we work towards
- More suitable applicants and a faster recruitment process.
- Unsolicited applications creating a pool of potential future employees.
- Growth made possible by actively attracting people.
- Fewer overtime hours and more time for holidays and recovery.
- Sufficient people to handle new orders.
- A working atmosphere that makes people want to stay.
- Employees and leaders becoming your strongest recruiters.
- More enjoyment, laughter and solution-oriented collaboration at work.
Your people’s capabilities are your company’s strength.

Leading Purpose
Discover meaning, live your vocation, talents and brand. The more meaning you find in your work, the greater your energy, enjoyment and performance. Connecting with your inner purpose inspires and motivates and makes the company more attractive to customers and employees.
Welcome and Development Xperience
Perfectly prepared employees who fit every requirement are rare. It is your responsibility to integrate, onboard and continually develop them. The first days provide the foundation. Build concrete deployment, development and training plans and put them into practice.
CoSpirit
Improve your team’s learning and performance through conscious cooperation and relationship management. Replace silos with cooperation, conflicts with energy for action, fragmented handovers with connection, and lost time with trust and effectiveness. Develop motivation and high-performing teams rather than minimal compliance.
Format and organisation
Your Xacademy combines in-house events or open seminars and coaching flexibly. This supports effective development for large and small teams, individuals and new employees. Practical projects and coaching between modules can be added. Optional support through Xdigital makes the programme measurable and evaluable.
