Recommendation

Seasoned consultant Joe Ungemah provides a concise, practical guide to modern talent management. As he covers recruiting, “employer branding,” competencies, capabilities, engagement, learning, change management, succession planning, performance and metrics, an integrated, holistic model of people management emerges.

Interview and observe employees at work and document the “five key ingredients” of each job: what incumbents do; what high performers do differently; core job skills; the necessary experience; and what drives people to do the work. Or, create a company “competency framework” you can plug ...
