Define what talent means in your organisation

Customer Success Updated by Customer Success

We know organisations want to be able to measure performance for a variety of different reasons, whether to link performance to pay and reward, or success planning.

Traditional performance measurement is challenging and often not without its fair share of pitfalls. Performance measures are often not holistic of talent and raters do not have enough data to be objective about talent. Did you know 61% of a performance rating is about the rater, not the ratee?

At Advanced Clear Review, we know performance measurement can be more equitable and actionable. Measuring performance should be built around evidence, not ratings. Where performance measures are based on opinions, this can lead to unfair results. Basing performance measurement around evidence means the next steps to support employee development can easily be identified.

A definition of talent, combined with optimising the performance behaviours and talent snapshot design can lead to a more equitable performance measurement.

The best place to start is by defining what 'talent' means in your organisation. This is a great way to be able to communicate what talent means to managers and employees. At Advanced Clear Review, we define 'talent' as a combination of performance and potential.

Performance

Performance: Outcomes that are achieved for the business

Behaviour: Supports the overall cultural development of the organisation

Potential

Aspiration: Desire for recognition and future role enhancement

Alignment: Personal connection and commitment to the organisation, its values and the role

Ability: Mix of intellectual, technical and emotional skills

This is a starter for 10!
