The Need for Talent Development: 

When the economy turns, will your talent remain?

 

Get excited: the economy is showing signs of improvement. Although the overall unemployment rate remains at around 10%, companies are now on the lookout for high performers who can take them to the next level of growth.

As the financial forecast continues to improve, it is no surprise that CEOs are citing ‘leadership development’ and ‘succession planning’ as top priorities. Companies are beginning to look forward, instead of back and many have already invested in technology to facilitate talent management initiatives. But corporate goals and priorities don’t mean employee loyalty as studies show that almost half of employees still don’t see a future in their current company. According to a recent study*:

  • 20% of employees are fully engaged in their job
  • 40% expected their next career move to be with another employer
  • 40% will change jobs within the next year in an ideal economy

 

Clearly there is a disconnect. And future planning will become tough as vital employees are heading out the door.

IMPACT Group's Talent Development program, Talent AllianceTM provides comprehensive coaching, career planning support and online tools to help employees get engaged and stay productive  Another key benefit of Talent Alliance is goal alignment, as employees must know how and in what ways to develop in order to remain relevant and inline with company goals and vision.

  1. Talent Alliance works directly with the employee and their manager to ensure active engagement in plan development and ensure personal goals are aligned with overall business direction.
  2. A business coach works one-on-one with employee (and manager) proactively offering guidance and expertise.
  3. Talent Alliance(TM)  online tools and assessments help guide and support the employee throughout the process.

The future leaders of your company are there today. IMPACT Group can help you find them, develop them and get them on the fast track to success – with you.
