Enable Success with a Talent Development Program

by Megan Bullard on July 23, 2010

This week, in typical tragic Hollywood fashion, another young starlet was sent to prison for violating her probation. Lindsay Lohan was once known for her cute tween looks and Disney-inspired movie roles, but a series of poorly acted films and bad behavior has resulted in the young talent hitting rock bottom.

Have you ever experienced an employee who started out top of their game, but eventually became the weakest link?

Have you ever experienced an employee who started out top of their game, but eventually became the weakest link? It’s not impossible, and several factors can cause a decline in productivity, but implementing a talent development program enables managers to stay on track when coaching employees.

Talent Development Programs should start with a basic skills assessment. The ProfileXT is designed to measure how well an individual fits specific jobs in your organization. Once an employee has been hired, managers can create a talent development program based on the ProfileXT results and the “job modeling” feature.

The ProfileXT provides managers with information about an employee’s thinking and reasoning style, relevant behavioral traits and occupational interests. The scores on each of these objectives may be used by the manager to then project what areas the employee will need development. Once the scores have been reviewed and managers understand what areas require more development, a talent development program may be implemented.

Don’t let your talent fade. Plan for your employee’s success, and enable them to maximize their potential.
