How do performance management, learning and leadership development fit into an integrated talent management strategy?

Matchett recently hosted an online Talent Management session, hosted by Michael Sabbag, Learn.com's Vice President of talent management services, who possesses more than 20 years of experience in talent management consultancy, organisational development and training.

This informative event offered an understanding of successful strategies, best practices, new and innovative technologies in terms of determining and defining successful talent management for organisations.

This enlightening free one-hour event enabled participants to review how to:
  • Determine the steps to evaluate where they are
  • Gain buy-in and input through senior management involvement
  • Develop a vision for talent management
  • Create a roadmap for evolving your talent management processes

Emerging trends that organisations are facing include:
  • Increasing competition for talent is universal.
  • Talent costs this year are inflated.
  • Time to talent is growing, as are requirements for developing it in-house.
  • Talent management leaders are achieving significant benefits in a short period of time.
  • Most companies, though, are way behind and playing talent management catch-up. Small business is behind the times.
  • Increasing influence of globalisation and easing of business boundaries as having a profound effect on talent consideration.
There was particular interest in the role of learning platforms, performance and talent management systems and new organisational models that makes integrated talent management possible. One solution that can provide the 'hire to retire' employee management is the LearnCenter platform.

The LearnCenter platform is the only complete talent management suite on the market today. Originally developed as a learning management and learning content management suite, the LearnCenter platform was built from the ground up by Learn.com with a product roadmap that consists of over 70% client feedback.

High performance businesses get superior results from their employees by understanding their core skills and development needs and by selectively investing in appropriate workforce performance processes and tools. The AbilityUtility feature set can help any organisation introduce an automated process for defining business and departmental goals, identify those who are competent in a particular skill, create job profiles or roles, and establish a development plan or learning intervention.

This opinion is echoed by Janet Wincko, Director of Learning, City Furniture.

"City Furniture has integrated the LearnCenter platform with our HR functions and processes including performance management, career development, skill gap analysis, certifications tracking and succession planning in order to ensure total coverage for our associates throughout their employment. We are also expanding geographically and needed a true blended approach for learning including Web-based training, instructor-led training and on-the job-training"
