Consulting > Talent Management

Only the right people can produce the innovation in products, services and systems necessary to drive growth and competitiveness. Effective nurturing and retention as well as growth of talented people are therefore critical to the survival of an organisation. There is a high price for getting this wrong.

Talent Management from Accelerating Performance assesses the candidate's potential to develop high level management and leadership competencies. We access in-depth values and motives to ensure that candidates identify matching core aspirational values.

However, it would a mistake to believe that it is all about the candidate, the employee. The organisation also has a vital role to play in talent management ensuring:

• Being honest in job previews - ensuring attracting employees only interested in the long haul commitment
• Negotiation of a psychological contract on both sides - breach of this contract may cause de-motivation, poor performance and loss of talent.
• Matching strategic business needs
• Focusing on retention
• Accommodation of values and work-life balance
• A career organisation wide approach
• Supporting cultural difference
• Maximising learning
