A cohesive and integrated approach to talent

Our joined-up approach to talent management

Joined-up talent management involves integrating various HR functions such as recruitment, performance management, learning and development, succession planning, and career development into a cohesive system that focuses on developing and retaining the best talent.

Talent cycle - no bullets

By adopting a joined-up talent management approach, organisations can benefit from a more efficient and effective talent management process, leading to improved employee engagement, retention, and overall organisational performance. This approach requires collaboration and communication across different departments and functions, ensuring that talent management strategies are aligned with the overall business strategy and objectives.

There are many stages to the talent lifecycle and often these are handled in siloes using different tools and processes. We help our clients to create a more joined-up approach to talent management which in turn provides a seamless employee journey and a sustainable ‘supply-chain’ of talent.

Talent strategy advisory

Every organisation needs a coherent and regularly reviewed talent strategy to ensure it has the capability needed, now and in the future, to meet its strategic goals. The best talent strategy is directly aligned to an organisation’s strategy and combines this with the development goals of its current and future talent. We support our clients across all components of a talent strategy, ensuring that people at every level of the organisation are empowered to lead.

Recruitment and selection

Effective recruitment and selection processes can help organisations attract and retain top talent, resulting in improved productivity and innovation, and enhanced overall organisational success.

Onboarding and engagement

Effective onboarding helps new employees adjust to their new roles and integrate into the organisation’s culture, resulting in higher job satisfaction, productivity, and retention rates. Employee engagement meanwhile can lead to increased employee motivation, higher job satisfaction, and a more positive workplace culture.

Performance review

These help to improve employee engagement and retention, as employees feel valued and recognised for their contributions to the organisation. They typically involve a structured evaluation process, which includes setting performance goals and objectives, tracking progress throughout the evaluation period, and providing feedback on job performance. They may also include a self-assessment component, where employees evaluate their performance and identify areas for improvement.

Learning and development

Learning and development (e.g. training, coaching, mentoring, and other forms of professional development) provides employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their job duties effectively and develop their careers.

Progression and succession

Progression and succession activities are essential for organisations to ensure a steady supply of talented, engaged and qualified employees. Businesses that fail to communicate and deliver on development opportunities and career progression are likely to experience an exodus of top talent to competitors
