Talent Management Model



1. 2. 3.

There are different approaches to talent management in organizations A successful TM model has to link
TM creed (culture, values, expectations) with TM strategy and TM system. (Lance and Dorothy Berger, 2011)

The values, expectations and elements of


the desired culture and the business excellence

should be embedded in HR systems as selection criteria, competency definitions, performance and promotion criteria and development processes.
PDM MBA 10

The Talent Creed


A TM creed is the set of core principles, values and mutual expectations that guide the behavior of an institution and its people It describes in general terms what types of people are expected to work in the organization and what type of a culture is desired to achieve success

PDM MBA

11

The Talent Strategy


Describes what type of people the organization will invest in and how it will be done Besides the specific elements of their creed, the talent strategy of all high performing organizations should have these directives: 1) Identify key positions in the organization (not more than 20, 30 %) 2) Assess your employees and identify the high performers (classify according to their current and future potential) 3) Retain key position backups 4) Make appropriate investments (select, train, develop, reward)

PDM MBA

12

Assessing the Employees


Superkeepers- greatly exceed expectations (3-5%) Keepers exceed expectations (20 %) Solid citizens- meet expectations (75 %) Misfits- below expectations (2-3 %)

(Berger and Berger, 2011)


PDM MBA 13

Allocating Investments in People


Superkeepers- receive about 5 % of all the resouces; need very high
recognition, compensate much more than the pay market, promote very rapidly

Keepers receive about 25 % of all the resources, need high recognition,


compensate more than the pay market, promote rapidly

Solid citizens- receive about 68 % of all the resources, need recognition,


compensate at the market level or just above

Misfits- receive about 2 % of all the resources for some, compensate at


below market average
(Berger and Berger, 2011)

PDM MBA

14

Talent Management System


Implementation program of the talent strategy which has a set of processes and procedures (1) assessment tools (2) multi-rater assessment (3) diagnostic tools (4) monitoring processes If the management is not willing to use assessment in their organizations they cant do talent management

PDM MBA

15

Assessment Tools for TM


The five assessment tools should be linked to ensure that each assessment is consistent with the four other evaluations Competency Assessment Performance Appraisal Potential Forecast Succession Planning Career Planning
PDM MBA 16

Multi-Rater Assessment
Employee. The owner of the career plan that is aligned with the succession plan Boss. The primary assessor Bosss boss. The key link in the vertical succession and career plan Bosss peer group. Source of potential new assignments in the same or other function
PDM MBA 17

Diagnostic Tools
SuperkeeperTM reservoir. SuperkeepersTM are employees whose performance greatly exceeds expectations, who inspire others to greatly exceed expectations, and who embody institutional competencies. Keeper Key position backups. The insurance policies that ensure organization continuity. Every key position should have at least one backup at the Keeper (exceed job expectations) level. Surpluses. Positions with more than one replacement for an incumbent. While ostensibly a positive result of the talent management process, it can be a potential source of turnover and morale problems if the replacements are blocked by a non-promotable incumbent and/or there is no realistic way most of the promotable replacements can advance. Voids. Positions without a qualified backup. Determine whether it will transfer someone from the surplus pool, develop alternative candidates, or recruit externally.
PDM MBA 18

Blockages. Non-promotable incumbents standing in the path of one or more high-potential or promotable employees. Problem employees. Those not meeting job expectations (measured achievement or competency proficiency). Give opportunity to improve, receive remedial action, or be terminated. The time frame should be no longer than six months.

PDM MBA

19

Monitoring Processes
Evaluate the results of talent management system on a regular basis for quality, timeliness and credibility

PDM MBA

20

What is competency?
Competencies are the core elements of talent management practices
They are the demonstrable and measurable knowledge, skills, behaviors, personal characteristics that are associated with or predictive of excellent job performance. Examples
Adaptability, teamwork, decision making, customer orientation, leadership, innovation etc.
PDM MBA 21

Competencies and Definitions


Action Orientation Targets and achieve results,overcomes obstacles, accepts responsibility, creates a results-oriented environment..... Interpersonal Skill Effectively and productively engages with others and establishes trust, credibility, and confidence with them Creativity/Innovation Generates novel ideas and develops or improves existing and new systems that challenge the status quo, takes risks, and encourage innovation Teamwork Knows when and how to attract, develop, reward, be part of, and utilize teams to optimize results. Acts to build trust, inspire enthusiasm, encourage others, and help resolve conflicts and develop consensus in supporting higperformance teams
(Berger and Berger, 2011)

PDM MBA

22

Why Competencies?
The challenge is to identify which competencies the organization expects to see in their people The starting point of the model is the creed (values, principles, expectations) and the business strategies Through a competency model the organization sends a consistent message to the workforce about what it takes to be successful in the job Helps employees understand what helps drive successful performance The Competency Model approach focuses on the How of the job. Competency model is behavioral rather than functional, focuses on the people rather than jobs Competency models are outcome driven rather than activities (Job descriptions focus on activities, competencies focus on outcomes) Integrates HR strategy with business strategy both focus on outcomes

PDM MBA

23

Why Competencies?
The competency model serves as the foundation upon which all workforce processes are built.
Competencies promote alignment of talent management systems by creating a common language that enables these systems to talk with each other! That is, results of one TM system is used as the input data for the following TM system.

PDM MBA

24

The Competency Model


The Competency Model identifies usually three groups of competencies:
Core competencies for the entire organization to shape the organizational capabilities and culture required to achieve the strategic goals(5 or 6) Leadership competencies for the management teams of various levels for selection, career planning and development Functional (technical)competencies (specific for each job family)

PDM MBA

25

Developing a Competency Model


Use commonly available ready to use models with small adjustments for your organization

Develop own competency model with help of consultants


Behavioral Benchmarking compare superior performers with other best people in the organization and in other benchmark companies
PDM MBA 26

Developing Organizations Own Competency Model


Overview of current tasks and responsibilities Come to agreement about what successful outcome driven performance looks like Review of competency library and selection of must haves for the position Rank top competencies as demonstrated by exemplary (superior) performers Identify of those competencies that align with the vision, mission and strategic plan of the organization Verify the competencies with a larger sample of the organization

PDM MBA

27

Choosing Competencies
Before choosing competencies in an organization following requirements must have been completed: Establishment of vision, mission, values Strategic business goals Identification of the tasks, responsibilities and outcomes expected from each position Identification of the superior (exemplary) performers Satisfactory competency library

PDM MBA

28

Talent Management
TALENT=COMPETENCE+COMMITMENT+CONTRIBUTI ON
Being competent is not only enough to be a talent The competent person should be committed to the causes and goals of the organization And should be able and willing to contribute to the success of the organization So, developing your talent is not enough, the organizations need to take all the measures to motivate, reward their talent pool to gain their commitment and contribution. Retention is also essential to gaurantee future alignment of the talent with the right key positions

Assessment/Development Centers?
What is an assessment/development center? An assessment/development center is a process designed to identify an individuals strengths, weaknesses, and potential in a current or future role. The assessment process is characterized by: Multiple participants rated by multiple assessors on several varied exercises Many of these exercises are designed to assess competencies Data integration: a structured evaluation of the participant in which assessors present objective evidence and reach a consensus decision The outcome of an assessment/development center are: Written reports detailing a participants competencies as they relate to job requirements One-to-one sessions examining the reports

155

Case Study B
Talent Management Assesses Future Leaders

Challenge
The client, one of the worlds largest energy companies, had a program grooming high-potential employees for career advancement opportunities and broader leadership responsibilities. In 2008, the company revamped the process used to select employees for the program, making it more systematic and rigorous. As a result, the company needed a service provider with talent assessment expertise to evaluate candidates in the United Kingdom, the United States and Asia. Hudson was selected as the companys partner because of our robust methodology, global reach, the quality of our assessors and the cost-effectiveness of our offerings.

162

PDM MBA

Case Study B
Talent Management Assesses Future Leaders

Solution
Hudsons Talent Management team conducted a series of meetings to learn about the companys culture, values and leadership framework. Based on that background, we developed assessment materials that were uniquely suited to the clients leadership development program and trained our assessors to apply their high standards during interactions with candidates. In late 2008, we conducted assessments at three sites: London, Houston and Singapore. Some candidates were at a relatively early stage in their career with the client, while others had already attained senior-level positions. The type of assessments administered varied accordingly. Overall, about 85 candidates went through a series of ability and personality tests, simulation exercises, business case studies, interviews and group discussions.

163

PDM MBA

Case Study B Talent Management Assesses Future Leaders Results


Hudson provided comprehensive reports about the candidates aptitude for performing effectively in future leadership roles. Our guidance for the client throughout the process provided the company with useful information about tailoring their development efforts to ensure their high-potential employees can continue to progress throughout their careers. Candidates many of whom had never been through an assessment program before came away with a better understanding of their strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for personal development. Even those who did not make it into the leadership program found the experience valuable. The client was highly satisfied.

164

PDM MBA

Summary
Identifying talent is going to become more vital with the predicted skills shortage and therefore more science must be added to the selection process Although it may look like an additional cost, adding science to selection can save thousands in the future It is important to identify the right solution for your organization and the types of roles you hire Whatever you do, always start with the right competencies for each role and build from there Always remember, high potential is developed through a solid understanding of competency and behavior

165

PDM MBA

Sourcing
Instilling a new talent mindset and developing a powerful employee value proposition are important but they aren't enough. A robust sourcing strategy is crucial. That means being clear about the kinds of people that are good for the organization, using various innovative channels to bring them in, and having a complete organizational commitment to recruiting the best.

PDM MBA

183

Definition of talent multiplication


"Talent is typically thought of as an attribute of individuals. It is admired in artists, musicians and athletes. In business, we praise the talents of the exceptional leader, the brilliant strategist, the outstanding salesperson, the savvy marketer, the financial wizard," the authors state. "Most organizations talent management strategies and practices focus on individuals. An exclusive focus on leaders, stars and high-potential employees misses the opportunity to identify and nurture collective talents that may yield a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts." An example:

PDM MBA

184

Cont..
"Consider an organization whose talent primarily consists of twelve individuals: a US professional basketball team. In 2006, the Miami Heat won the National Basketball Association championship, and they won it by multiplying their collective talents. Statistical analyses of individual player performances and the teams performance with different combinations of players on the court revealed that Shaquille ONeal, one of the best basketball players ever, was not the driving force behind the teams success. In fact, he was not even part of the best five-player combination (based on point differential when players are both in and out of the game).3 It was the Heats ability to engineer the best combinations of players talents that led them to victory. "When organizations combine employees skills and knowledge in ways that foster collaboration, knowledge sharing and collective learning, they can multiply their talent and elevate the performance of all employees, as well as teams, workgroups and entire workforces."

Money cant buy loyalty


Care and concerns Employees want training to develop their long term, careers. They also want family-friendly benefits and concern in personal emergencies. Care and concern are global drivers and appear in the top two slots in loyalty surveys around the globe. Fairness at work Fair work policies and treatment of employees are the two main ways employees evaluate their jobs. While fair pair is not a key driver, 53% of respondents regard their pay as fair. Communication Employees want the right amount of information , in timely manner and, to a lesser extent, to be communicated within a way that considers their feelings. Accomplishment/recognition The biggest way to give employees a sense of accomplishment is to provide useful feedback about the performance at work. Other drivers include rewarding excellent achievements and noticing lesser achievements. Trust Employees want to be encouraged to try new ways of doing things, to be allowed to make work decisions and not to be punished if a decision is the wrong one

Organisational Culture Key to Talent Management

Organisations increasingly recognise the need to create a culture which makes employees feel valued, a culture that fully leverages the skills of their human capital. Organisations whose culture values the employees are in a better position to achieve the desired business results through their employees. Define the desired culture for keeping talent. Culture is dynamic and e over time. Creation of a conducive environment for success. Managers have a critical role to play in instilling the desired culture.

ATTRIBUTES OF A GOOD MEASUREMENT SYSTEM


An effective performance measurement system should have the following attributes. FOCUS ON EFFECTIVENESS
1) We have a need to measure better. 2) We have a need to measure less.

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

Good measurement systems dont just measure things done according to the organizational chart. Good systems measure things done to satisfy stakeholders.
PDM MBA 222

Key Performance Indicators KPIs


This is the essence of measurement. Lets make sure the concept of Key Performance Indicator is understood.
An indicator is a gauge or a measure that reports information. Performance is the result or activity we are looking for that fits in to strategic goals. Key means that this measure has been pinpointed so carefully that management knows precisely what to do. Measures are developed to capture both the input and output elements of a business system.

Some examples of measures follow.


PDM MBA 223

SPEED INDICATORS
response time records turn around time records cycle time records project completion dates meeting scheduled time records

PDM MBA

224

ACCURACY INDICATORS
judgment based climate or opinion surveys

Six Steps of a Measurement System


1. Separate Strategic Goals Into Input and Output Dimensions 2. Develop Output and Results Measures for each goal 3. Develop Input Measures for each goal 4. Check with SAVI to see if the set of measures is complete 5. Use an Effective Recognition System 6. Build the Culture
PDM MBA 228

Step 1, Separate Strategic Goals Into Input and Output Dimensions

Following from Vision, Mission and Values, organizations create strategic goals that identify Key Result areas of the organization where change and improvement is possible and desirable. Our first step in developing measures to reflect the goal is to dissect the goal into its input and output dimensions.
PDM MBA 229

All should increase by a specific % change, to be accomplished by a specific date.

Investment Returns

Market share

The proportion of the market share against the competition should increase. The proportion of the market share relative to the total market should increase at a rate that is faster than the rate of change in total market size. 233

Measures of outputs or Results


Product or service quality Rejection rates in the production process Sales returns Both should decline by a specific amount in a specific timeframe.

Customer Satisfaction

Deliver on time and in sufficient quantity

Backorder and delivery statistics

Backorders should decline and delivery cycle times should improve.

Consumer prices

Testing the measures


Once we are satisfied that the set is complete we need to subject each and every measure to a test.

Step 5, Use an Effective Recognition System


Use Measurement to Initiate Change
An effective measurement system will use the measured results as a management tool. Every result should have an automatic intervention strategy. When results are as expected we should offer congratulations and reinforcement to keep it going, when results are less than expected we should quickly isolate the cause and correct the process
PDM MBA 241

Step 6, Build the culture


Good systems need good people. There is no sense in examining a process unless at the same time you examine the people who govern the process. Improvement does not take place on paper.
Improvement happens when people employ enthusiasm, dedication, commitment, leadership and morale in their daily routine. A good system on paper is a healthy beginning but if you want results you need to follow up a paper system with a people system.

Closing remarks
In the beginning of this chapter you were challenged to find measures and see the resulting behavior.
So how about the 30 minute pizza delivery guarantee. That promotes speeding and if a delivery person has an order at 28 minutes and another at 10, which does he deliver first? And what happens if Pizza delivery people are offered a cash bonus for every delivery made within 30 minutes, and what does this do to pizza quality?

To be cont..
People are curious beings. We bring our own personal values to the job, we react differently to control systems, we are motivated by different things. A performance measurement system is a uniform set of measures that is trying to motivate a most un-uniform set of people.

Measurement of human capital


1. Measuring Australias Human Capital Development: The Role of Post-school Education and the Impact of Population Ageing (ABS)
2. Measuring the Education Output of Government Using a Human Capital Approach: What might Estimates Show? (Fraumeni and NBER) 3. The Measurement of Human Capital Development, also with Reference to Elderly Population (ISTAT)

Why measure human capital?


Key concept in analysing central issues, such as Productivity and growth Impacts of an ageing population Sustainable development The returns to education OK but do we need the capital approach? Estimates of human capital may be compared to other assets Enables analyses of policy measures in important areas Even so what should be the role for NSOs?
PDM MBA 248

Human capital is an intangible asset!


Human capital definitions Wide: Productive capacity of individuals More narrow: Productive capacity related to knowledge and skills Improvements in labour quality may take many forms Healthcare Learning in families and neigbourhoods Formal schooling On-the-job training Empirical studies typically focus on formal education But stock figures include social capital as well?

Human capital theory in a nutshell


Education is regarded as an investment Investment entails costs direct costs and opportunity costs of forgone earnings To be willing to undertake the investments, individuals must be compensated with higher wages ex post For employers to be willing to pay higher wages, individuals with higher education must have higher productivity Individuals make optimal choices based on net present value of investment in income or utility terms

Approaches to human capital estimation


Direct volume measures in NA Volume indicators for types of education weighted together by unit costs The National Wealth Approach Implies a wide definition of human capital The Jorgenson-Fraumeni approach to measuring output of the education sector (the Australian and the US papers) More narrow: Analysing the contribution to national wealth from education The indicator approach (the Italian paper) Human capital as a multidimensional phenomenon A broad set of human capital-related indicators (OECD: Education at a Glance)
PDM MBA 251

The National Wealth Approach: Calculating human capital residually

Three steps:
1. Calculate resource rents from all natural resources (renewable and non-renewable) 2. Decompose Net National Income (NNI) into the returns from the inputs i.e. physical capital, natural resources etc. Human capital is calculated as the residual 3. Capitalize the income stream from the human capital component
PDM MBA 252

The NW Approach: Strengths and weaknesses


Making the intangible comparable to other (measurable) assets Based on (mostly) existing national account figures Based on rather simple methods and calculations The methods are not (necessarily) forward looking
In particular: demographic trends are not taken into account

The human capital estimate is a residual! There is (usually) no attempt to isolate the contribution to human capital from education

PDM MBA

253

The Jorgenson-Fraumeni Approach


Based on human capital theory Output of the education sector in a year is the increment in human capital stock of the population, i.e. the increase in productive capacity over the lifetime The distribution of individual productivity is measured by the corresponding wage differentials Relies upon the assumption that market wages reflect the productivity gains attributable to education The measure does not capture possible externalities from investments in education
PDM MBA 254

The JF Approach: Strengths and some critical questions


May uncover underlying structural changes, like
Demographic: if cohorts entering the labor market are smaller than cohorts leaving, human capital measured by the JF approach will ceteris paribus decline. Educational attainment: if cohorts entering the labor market have chosen types of education with on average lower market value than cohorts leaving, human capital measured by the JF approach will ceteris paribus decline.

Do relative wages reflect the output of the education sector? Can we neglect the value of leisure time? (the Australian paper vs. Fraumeni) How to deal with the value of basic education? Can the complicated calculations be implemented on a regular basis ie. as official statistics?

Human capital measuring: What should be the role and ambitions of NSOs?

Three possible strategies: 1. Developing databases on human capital for research and analyses 2. Developing methods for output measures in the Government sector (NA) 3. Full integration of capital measures in the National Accounts
