The Challenge

Shaping a new Talent Management approach for an organisation that collectively employ over 15,000 people

The client was facing challenges with the quality and consistency of the design and application of its Talent Management Approach, experiencing low employee retention rates and skill shortages across certain areas.

Our Approach

  • Spoke with managers across different functions and facilitated focus groups with HR to assess the performance of existing talent practices.
  • Produced tools that reflected market best practice, the maturity of the organisation and the appetite for change.

Key Outcomes

  • A new talent management and succession planning process is in place and has been implemented across ~800 senior managers globally.
  • Succession pipelines understood for critical roles
  • Skills gaps identified with plans to develop the individuals that exhibited a capability gap
