Talent Pools

Bottlenecks in the labor market compel companies to tap the talents in their organization more closely and to use them strategically to contribute to the company´s future.

• early identification and focused development of talents (e.g. for a career as managers, specialists or project leaders)
• foster motivation and commitment to the company, increase employee retention

The management of an organizational unit periodically nominates their  talent for a Talent Pool (e.g. a functional group, a regional unit, a business area, etc.). These talents undergo a program of 1-1.5 years where they get to know the company from a holistic perspective, explore different employment opportunities, build internal and external networks, get to know key players of the company and gain personal exposure.

Talent assessments play a crucial part in this program, starting with the definition of key learning objectives and the first draft of a development plan.
