Career Pathway Planning

Talent management software gives staff a view of all roles within the organization – arranged in career pathways – including the key accountabilities, tasks and expected results, and the capabilities needed to succeed in the role.

Plan career development

Staff compare their current capabilities with those of roles they are interested, view the gaps and plan their personal development.

Register interest

Capture staff interest by allowing staff to indicate the roles in which they are interested. This is the beginning of the talent pipeline.

 Promotion recommendations and future role potential

Recommend promotions

Managers identify advancement opportunities for staff, nominating them for future roles, with an assessment of readiness and fit.

Managers can use the individual development plan to program in the development experiences required to fill any gaps

Confidential career planning

Managers use part of the Staff Profile to suggest a career track for their staff in the short medium and long term, in conjunction with their talent review assessment.

Integrates all information in a single screen

Consolidated reports

Reports for senior management give insight into critical roles and retention risk across the organization. Talent Review data enables identification of high-potential employees (HiPos) for Talent Pools.
