Talent Assessment

An important part of your overall talent management strategy is the development of the process organizations that will use to evaluate performance and potential, and to identify future leaders, successors, and/or high potential employees.
An effective talent assessment process should be :
- Consistent across your organization’s business units.
- Aligned to your organization’s business needs and future leadership needs.
- A multi-level process that involves several data points.
- Well-defined and understood across the organization.
Assessment is often equated and confused with evaluation, but the two concepts are different. Assessment is used to determine what a person knows or can do, while evaluation is used to determine the worth or value of a course or program. Assessment data effects employee advancement, success and development.
