talent toolbox™

If your organisation became excellent at doing all the right things to engage, develop and retain talent and if you had a 'balance sheet' for your people in the same way you would report a financial position, you would become a 'best place to work'.

talent toolbox provides a new web-enabled structure for key human resource functions such as appraisal and succession planning, plus some creative thinking, user-friendliness and highly effective delivery methods.

talent toolbox is a managed service; created by responsive people who understand business and understand people. Because we care, the process is well-managed throughout and therefore as painless as possible for our users.

talent toolbox is a managed system (so you don't have to). It contains a set of tools that will enable you to identify your rising stars, show development potential, track individual aspirations and feedback and indicate when an individual is at risk of leaving.

There are seven modules:

1. The talent toolbox master module with:

• Competency / skill review and performance management
• Succession planning
• Training needs analysis
• Risk manager
• Employee feedback and related information

2. Objectives Performance Manager
3. 360 Review
4. Online business measurement / KPI tool
5. Advanced Training Record Manager
6. Induction review
7. Exit analysis

Your talent toolbox system is completely tailored to meet your organisation's needs. The process is fast, easy and engaging for all participants, for example:

• Pre appraisal forms are sent automatically with chasing to prompt action
• Both parties complete on-line pre-appraisal forms
• Information is collated instantly to form an 'agenda;'
• Face to face appraisal takes place and on-line record completed (ideally in the meeting)
