Talent strategy is a framework designed to help companies use people data to design their teams, hire the perfect person for the job, inspire their teams to be their best, and diagnose any problems hindering cohesion or growth. Talent strategy uncovers the hardwiring of your team and candidates to make sure the right person is in the right seat.
Through talent strategy, we discover individual candidates’ motivations, skills, and interests. This information helps companies make decisions like where each team member fits best, how to create an ideal work environment, how to best manage and work with them, and which candidates will perform the best for an open role.
The four key components of talent strategy are:
Talent strategy will give your team the knowledge, language, and framework they need to discuss approaches to problem solving, efficiency, and teamwork. Your team will obtain a clearer understanding of not only one another, but also themselves. They will learn how they work best, and will be able to implement learned ideas and strategies to completely optimize their performance and output.
You will be able to streamline your recruiting and hiring processes, removing bias and enhancing diversity. Instead of sorting through endless stacks of resumes, you will be able to clearly identify candidates with hardwiring to excel in the role. This will enhance employee engagement and reduce costs associated with turnover.
