Talent isn't always easy to identify.  Sometimes half the battle is coming to agreement on what exactly talent is. Executives might identify their top talent as innovative individuals who take risks and increases profit.  An employee might identify a talented individual as someone who is efficient, produces quality work and successfully implements the skills required for the job.  But how do we really know the scope of these talents, or whether the individual will effectively use them in the business setting?

Here's a simple suggestion:

   (1) Benchmark the job (behaviors, motivators, skills required to be successful)
   (2) Assess your people (how do they compare with your benchmark?)
   (3) Develop and coach individuals accordingly (restructure where needed)


At  Performance Excellence, we use strategic solutions to add an objective voice to the aforementioned process.  Our benchmarking tools clarify the job requirements and ensure you are in compliance with EOCC standards.  The assessments we use to measure an individual provide insight into the natural behavioral style, motivators and areas of potential. You can strategically identify the top talent in your organization in a short period of time and place them in the right positions, creating an excellent job "fit" that is motivating for employees. Once completed with the assessment process you have a development plan ready to be implemented with the individuals and can measure their areas of growth as they move forward within your organization.
