Measuring

The Company Psychologist strategic talent management process begins with an in-depth analysis of the organization through a series of structured meetings with the leadership team, both individually and as a group. During these meetings, the key positions within the organization are identified and those key positions are benchmarked.

Benchmarking

Why do some people perform their jobs at a high level while others struggle? The biggest contributor to poor job performance is that the person is in a job for which he or she does not have the skills, talents, personality, and values.

Benchmarking involves determining the critical performance objectives for a given job. This is accomplished through a brainstorming session with those leaders most familiar with the position and key individuals who are performing the job at a high level. Once the critical performance objectives are identified, a series of targeted interview questions are developed to use when considering internal or external candidates for that job.

In addition to benchmarking the job, those who are currently performing that job participate in an assessment process using structured interviews and assessment instruments designed to quantify the skills, talents, personality characteristics, and values needed to meet the critical performance objectives.
