Talent Assessment Benefits & Insights
Identify Employee Developmental Needs
Like a green-thumbed gardener, the best companies grow their employees into new roles. With careful precision, they inspect each growth and cultivate the soil so it can blossom. Just like a gardener, you need to know where the employee needs support to develop into their next role.
Identify Future Talent Needs (Internal & External)
After forecasting your vacancies, you need to know who has the potential to fill those positions? Drawing from within the organization is ideal, but it could prove disastrous if the wrong person is selected. Unfortunately, the wrong manager is selected 82% of the time. With proper assessments in place, you can identify the correct talent within your organization or identify that the right employee is outside the organization.
Elevate Leaders ability to identify "High-potential" Talent
There’s often a disconnect between what we perceive to be the traits and competencies needed for a role and what they actually are. We help take that guess work out and pinpoint who has the right traits and competencies with a high-potential to succeed.
Engage & Retain High Performing Talent
Your team members want to be developed, advance, and to feel valued. Talent Assessments create a roadmap for their development for potential advancement while making them feel valued and is great for employee engagement and retention.

Simulated Environments
These assessments assess the individual in an environment that mirrors their work-environment, providing a high-reward solution with low-risk to on-the-job performance. Simulation assessments are typically conducted in a Workshop or Assessment Center, but our Virtual Reality (VR) Package may be a better fit for specific positions.
Experiential Assessments
Experiential Assessments occur in-the-field and may or may not be done with a mentor or peer-level mentor. This allows for the truest test of their knowledge and skills.
Post-Assessment Monitoring
Learning & Development isn’t linear, it’s continuous. Initial training and learning development efforts should be followed up with supplementary training and coaching as necessary. That’s why after Knowledge & Skill Development assessments and associated trainings are delivered, we set up systems to measure your employee’s skills and performance. This gives you the data needed to continually develop your team.
