Integral to the success of any organisation is the people within it. Identifying talent, developing employees and advancing careers are all key to a successful culture and to improved outcomes.
Traditionally businesses rely on traditional interview techniques, personality testing, appraisal reports from colleagues, and accessibility to online learning suites to help them to achieve these goals.
However:
- Interview techniques are subjective and personality driven, and do not allow for neurodivergence
- Personality testing tells you about the person, but not whether they are the right fit for the job
- Appraisal reports are subject to bias and are grounded in the fear of not wanting to tell the truth for fear of reprisals
- Access to online learning suites is often undirected and has a poor take up from busy employees.
At Willow Ethos, we are certified deliverers of TalentScope which measures competencies, not personalities. By using quantitative, ground-breaking multi-method diagnostics, that use adaptive computerised testing, it will provide a true reflection of an employee’s/applicant’s competencies and cannot be gamed. It will then map them to the requirements of their role, and provide a comprehensive road map for learning and development to help them aspire to become an even better fit, or develop their skillset to aspire to more senior roles.
TalentScope is designed to complement and strengthen your talent strategy by using an independent, unbiased methodology to enhance your approach to developing people to perform at their best. It is an online assessment tool unlike anything else in the market.
Simply put, it quantifies “fit for job”, looking at behaviours as well as skills, and situationally relevant leadership assessment for recruitment, succession planning and talent development.
TalentScope helps an organisation to ensure that:
- it has bespoke pathways to support self-directed learning and development to enable empowerment
- succession pathways can be built with clear learning milestones to help career development and to drive ambition
- it knows where talents lie to support co-mentoring among colleagues
- the right individuals are in the right positions with the appropriate skills & behaviours
- it has the talent, motivation and potential in its leaders to meet the organisation’s long-term objectives
