10 ways to improve your Talent Management


1. Avoid metrics for the sake of metrics
2. Establish a process for deciding what you consider
   success
3. Seek to be able to answer the question
4. Make sure chosen metrics drive intended action
5. Pay particular attention to levels of employee
   engagement and ways to measure it, not just once
   but regularly
10 ways to improve your Talent Management


6. Narrow down the talent metrics to a manageable
    few – not more then 2 or 3
7. Use a metric to show whether succession planning
    within your own area of influence enables mainly,
    internal recruitment
8. Consider using a metric showing employee
    retention rates
9. Benchmark your local retention rates
10. Track talent development and performance to
    make smart decisions about talent
How to get the message to Different Audiences



         Different Audiences           Different Approaches
High Potentials                Turn your talk into questions
Board levels                   Talk about a story
Line managers                  Talk a bout the processes
Front line staff               Talk about engagement
Other stakeholder, such as     Talk about unlocking potential
shareholders
Are you asking the right questions about your Talent Management




Do your recruitment programmes attract your future managers
Do you know which employees are ready for management positions
Can we identify inspirational or potentially inspirational leaders
What will be our staffing needs in five years time
Which employees are at risk of leaving, what can we do to keep them
Do we have the right skills mix to achieve our goals
What will our future leaders need in the way of specific skills and attributes
Should we limit development to a few high potentials or spread it more widely
What is the current attrition rate in the organisation and what is it costing
What is the level of engagement in the organisation
How do we raise engagement levels to attract maximum discretionary effort
Does our remuneration strategy actively support talent
What metrics do we rely on to manage our talent
