Our Profiles

Today’s changing working environment means employment will never be the same again. Individuals have a greater need for freedom and flexibility and a desire to create different patterns of working. Embarking on a talent development process, or refurbishing an existing one, is a journey not a destination. It should not be embarked on lightly, it needs to be correctly positioned, owned by senior management, resourced appropriately and its contribution measured in terms of return on investment.

Based on years of working with talented individuals Talent Perspectives has created two profiles focusing on the fulfillment of potential to support the process of talent development:

Talent+Potential Indicators (TPIs)

The Talent+Potential Indicator (TPI org)

This measures how effective an organization is in attracting, retaining and developing talent. It measures the key stages of engagement and importantly how proactively and creatively an organization is responding to the needs of its talent pool. Specifically it measures the effectiveness of an organisation in fulfilling its potential across the following constructs:
  • Clearly defined overall talent strategy
  • Demonstrable commitment from Leadership
  • Building and sustaining Relationships
  • Defined model of Organisational Capability and Efficiency
  • Effective Talent Tracking and Performance Management Systems
  • Building for the Future and Succession Planning

The Talent+Potential Indicator (TPI ind)

This measures how aware an individual is of their talent and how effectively they are utilising their potential. Specifically it measures across the following constructs:
  • Personal vision and ambition
  • Drive and determination                                         
  • Influence and control
  • Desirable competencies and mastery
  • Self awareness and confidence
  • Managing own performance
 
Together the Indicators provide a measure of how effectively talent and  future potential is being utilized both on an individual basis and within an organization.

At a time of skill shortage and a predicted shortfall in the available workforce, one very real challenge for organizations is how to fulfill the potential, of not just a talented few, but of all employees.

The Talent +Potential Indicators can provide insight into the alignment between an individual and their organization. By using the TPIs it is possible to identify the gaps and to identify ways of gaining more alignment.

The TPIs can also support talent scanning and defining future capability to ensure there is a pipeline of talent through external recruitment and selection, and internal development and promotion to resource future leadership roles.
Another important factor is the need to develop an organisation’s talent pool. It is about keeping a continuing sense of what organisations need to develop for tomorrow, as well as deliver today and to have strategies that encompass the long and the short term.

The development of an Employer Brand is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees.  Developing your Employer Brand will assist in creating a nurturing culture which enables individuals to give their best performance and supports the organization in delivering on it’s brand promise. As a holistic process it has a strategic and dynamic role in delivering true competitive edge to organisations.Equally important is engaging and retaining these people beyond the initial induction period.

It's an employee's market and job candidates can be very choosy about where they work. It is not just about pay and benefits, increasingly employees are looking for organizations who match their values, who care about the environment that they work in, and the service that they offer to their customers.

Through our partnership with the  Employer Branding Forum we also offer the following assessment tool to assist companies to define and refine their employer brand.

The EBF Employer Branding Compass© is an innovative across company indicator designed to measure the current strength of employer branding within your organization and to offer recommendations about the next stage of your journey.
