Today, organisations have understood that talent management has become one of the areas of forward-looking employment and skills management, alongside other HR issues such as payroll, personnel administration and time management. Talent management has been around for a long time in organisations, but it has not been given a broad enough label to be seen as a real growth lever for the company.

Talent Management boosts business strategy

This new way of managing people and careers allows you to capitalise on the skills and potential of your employees, ideally with a flexible system that can be deployed both internally and during external recruitment sessions.

Talent management can cover different job levels or statuses depending on the segmentation established by the company.

The monitoring of a talent pool is also a function of the company’s strategy and the budget dedicated to talent management. Thus, executives, high potentials and key positions are the first to be served.

However, it is important to bear in mind that the approach taken in this way only covers part of the company’s potential.

The Assessment Centre: a lever for Talent Management

The notion of potential is distinct from talent in the strict sense of the word and refers to an individual’s ability to develop. It should be noted that when assessing a person’s potential, it is important not only to identify his or her motivations but also the resources available for development.

The Assessment Centre is based on the principle of simulating a professional environment in order to assess an individual’s full potential. In addition to specialist knowledge, the Assessment Center provides a sharp look at personal, relational and leadership skills.
