Kiddy's latest Talent Management interventions

In the current environment many businesses are struggling to create developmental climates and this is having a knock-on effect on motivation and performance. Furthermore, many organisations have moved to an HR Business Partner model and need help achieving consistency and best practice across this community. 

Organisations also need to retain and develop their top performers as we come out of recession and our new talent offerings address these needs through workshop-based activities, supported with psychometrics and pre and post-work:

1. Career Consulting Skills for HR Professionals

Through the use of role play, video feedback, personal reflection and use of real life case studies we train HR Professionals to enable employees to identify their career aspirations and create development plans aligned to the business strategy.  This creates increased engagement of individuals and line managers and in turn leads to real personal development.

2. Implementing Talent Management Reviews for HR Professionals

We also help HR professionals gain a consistent understanding of potential within their organisations and support talent decisions credibly and with impact, as well as identify development actions for `hard to develop’ individuals. This is achieved through the use of role plays, video feedback, facilitation skills and talent concepts.

3. Career Planning Workshops for HiPos and employees

Career Planning Workshops help HiPos and employees identify career opportunities (and threats) and develop practical career plans which address their stakeholders’ needs.  These workshops ensure key staff are motivated and engaged and enable them to drive their own development.

4. Career Conversations for HiPos, line managers and employees

Through skills development, role plays and psychometrics we help HiPos, line managers and employees increase the understanding of personal drivers and motivation by improving communication and influencing skills and matching personal capabilities to aspirations.

This improved motivation leads to better employee performance and individuals can then be better matched to internal opportunities.

Why Kiddy?

We have a track record in implementing best practice talent management processes, and supporting accelerated development through dialogue with individuals and their line managers. We know what works in a wide variety of organisations, how to achieve the best results in the shortest timescales and all our interventions are underpinned by rigorous psychological research and models.  This gives us credibility with HR and brings a new dimension to the line.  Furthermore, our commercial edge can help HR articulate the business benefits of their interventions.
