Talent Snapshot

Pros: It is both a product and an ongoing process. Its implementation takes a fraction of the time and cost - maybe 5% at most of what other products take. Its content has 40 years of research w/ higher validity than other products. Nothing like it I have seen.

Cons: Nothing I can think of, really. It is a fully integrated assessment approach to talent management. It contains over 150 typical company positions, with predefined competencies and performance factors for each job (with the ability to customize), and tied to a talent management report, a full developmental planning system (including goals), an LMS for competency development, and - ONE overall product/process as opposed to the multiple interconnected modules of other talent management products. Makes it easy!

Overall: Great analysis of talent + a very specific plan and process for future development and succession planning.

Pros: It is a leading edge technology allowing effective and consistent management of performance and talent.

Overall: It greatly streamlined and automated the performance management element of our, and our client's Human Resource function. It is a very reasonable and cost-effective option.

Pros: It turns an annual headache into a useful daily tool. Instead of forcing feedback & reviews as an end of year event, Talent Snapshot provides a useful process across the lifecycle of employees -a true talent management solution for employer and employee.

Cons: Software is software, occasionally one wishes for that which can't be done immediately. Worked as promised

Pros: The customization of the software that align its use with the goals of the business and the ability to set up appropriate variances among departments and administrative staff make this a useful tool for businesses seeking to improve employee engagement and development as well as to establish benchmarks and targets regardless of the department being reviewed.

Cons: I dislike having to wait for supervisors to authorize implementation. Would be nice to be able to offer feedback on whether the characterizations/categorizations established by supervisors is accurate.

Pros: It is very comprehensive and useful for different purposes

Cons: You must prepare for the automation and workflow.

Overall: I am pleased that talent management is ongoing and the tool makes this possible

Pros: The whole package is wonderful because it gives the manager everything they need to get feedback about their people, evaluate the team members, and then design individual development plans.

Cons: There is a lot to fill/write in to get started.

Overall: People need clarity on expectations, goals, and their career path. It is all here in one package.

Comments: We are always looking for tools to support the development of our students. Talent Snapshot provides a solid foundation for identifying and building employee competences. These competences can be easily mapped to our training courses. With Talent Snapshot managers and students can monitor their growth. Talent Snapshot also provides additional eLearning courseware that are mapped to competencies. A great tool and the support is excellent.

Comments: The job performance section of the software really helped us understand some of the strengths and weaknesses of our employees. This information allowed us to discuss in depth what skills some of our people needed to learn and develop. The training available, had a profound effect on our employees. Thank you!
