This document summarizes the key findings of a benchmark study from Aberdeen Group that analyzed over 640 organizations regarding their use of talent assessments. The study identified best practices of organizations ("Best-in-Class") that achieved high performance in areas like employee performance and succession planning. Best-in-Class organizations were found to use assessments at multiple points in the employee lifecycle from hiring to succession. They collaborated between HR and business leaders to define competencies for assessments and used various assessment types appropriate for different decisions. Adopting these assessment strategies was correlated with improved metrics like employee performance and hiring manager satisfaction.

Abstract: This Paper is one of the most important papers which focus on Key Performance Indicators in relation with talent development which start to be the main focus of all companies and countries and most researchers start working on the same subject to give more insights on it. This paper aim to explore the importance of Key Performance Indicators and its impact on Talent development and the advantages of using the performance management system especially in the large companies where there are difficulties in assessing employees’ performance. The importance of this research is the well develop and design comprehensive framework about the establishment, use and evolution of key performance indicators and how specialists can use the tools and implement process step by step with the highlighting of all challenges and limitations. The challenge is in the KPIs more than calculate the human capital ROI and Talent Development because it’s the hardest part where implementing such techniques can restructure all the organization from the bottom line. This level of extensiveness is the place the test exists much of the time, and where the profit of having a decent strategic plan is not completely figured it out. In short, it is a long between joined affix that needs to be concentrated on nearly part by part.
Innovation is on everyone’s mind today. Though who is really accountable for innovation in an organization? Is there a department or function who is responsible? Or innovation is everyone’s business?
