A Talent Index for High Performers
In the knowledge economy, companies must transform potential talent into high-performing talent, prevent employee attrition and create a leadership succession plan.
Infosys' HR Analytics expert proposes a talent index to gauge talent in the same manner as manufacturing companies check the quality of raw material and finished goods. Attributes that influence performance such as cumulative experience, appraisal ratings and promotions are incorporated in the quotient. It helps companies -
- Measure the quantum of knowledge residing across functions and hierarchies
- Identify employees for training and management development programs
- Plan recruitment and talent management of employees
- Assess loss due to attrition
