Developing Talent

The challenges of recruiting, retaining and developing talent remains one of the biggest challenges for today’s most ambitious organisations.

Only by managing talent strategically, can organisations expect to build a high performance workplace. Despite this, very few organisations manage to develop their talent due to a lack of an integrated people strategy. The net effect is that most organisations that don’t properly embrace talent development fail to maximise their growth potential.

218% Companies that offer comprehensive training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training

74% of employees feel that they aren’t achieving their full potential at work due to lack of development opportunities

40% of employees who don’t receive the necessary job training to become effective leave their positions within the first year

Common Problems

Lawrence Bossidy former boss of General Electric was quoted as saying “Nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not strategies!”

Despite this many organisations fail to recognise the importance of developing talent as a way of ensuring a business achieves its goals. They equally fail due to a lack of knowledge as to how to do it and a genuine lack of skill in terms of what to do.

By developing talent strategically, organisations can build a high-performance workplace, encourage a ‘learning’ organisation, add value to their employer brand, and improve diversity management. There are additional benefits in areas such as customer service, staff engagement and motivation both of which ultimately lead to increased productivity and efficiency.

Organisations that overlook this area typically struggle with increases in absenteeism and staff turnover, higher recruitment costs, lower levels of employee engagement and reduced productivity and efficiency all of which significantly impact on overall business results.
