Attracting, developing and keeping valuable talent in your organization is a core concern of any organization. It can be even more difficult to do so strategically. Getting the RIGHT people in the RIGHT roles is a absolutely crucial for organization performance and sustainability.

Using our suite of highly reliable assessments, many years of experience as human resource professionals, and superior facilitation skills, we help you integrate your human resource development programs into one strategically aligned and coherent approach to managing talent.

Below is a partial list of some of the projects we have successfully implemented: 

• Hiring and Retention: Worked with senior management to increase effectiveness of hiring process. Ongoing results include fewer mis-hires, more accurate “fit-to-role” placement and a resulting reduction in turnover and hiring and training costs.
• Performance Appraisal: Led top managers to directly link the organization’s performance appraisal and role placement systems to its mission and strategy while upgrading performance appraisal systems to integrate leadership capacity with core competencies, creating a powerful appraisal system and the beginnings of a robust leadership pipeline.
• Performance Appraisal, Compensation & Benefits: Assisted two recently merged organizations in harmonizing their performance appraisal systems and compensation and benefits schemes. Results included a more streamlined, understandable and easily implementable appraisal system and a compensation and benefits system that satisfied employees for both organizations while lowering organizational risk by limiting contribution to the pension scheme and greatly simplifying the compensation system. 
• Job Descriptions, Roles & Responsibilities: Through coaching of senior management we facilitated the clear definition of job descriptions, roles and responsibilities in a multinational organization leading to dramatically improved coordination, employee satisfaction and motivation, and bottom line results.
• Internal Placement System: Consulted on development of internal job rotation system resulting in increased employee satisfaction, effective cross-training, improved team cohesion and greater cross-functional understanding and collaboration.
• Career Planning & Development: Co-created individual development profiles linked to leadership assessments and personal and team scorecards that improved core leadership competencies, key performance indicators, and target agreement results
• Ongoing Training & Development: Installed a leadership pipeline in an acquired firm with “no leadership” resulting in pipeline members matching or exceeding the leadership standards of the owner company within three years. Followed up with a customized Training-Of-Trainer program for leaders to develop their colleagues and subordinates from “experts” to managers and project managers.

 At Interkannections, we believe that talent management is not solely an internal process but also includes dialogues with internal drivers like brand and culture and external influences such as the economy and eco-systemic dynamics. Thus, your talent management planning is not something that should happen behind closed doors.
