Talent Optimization is a Differentiator

The pessimist complains about the wind.  The optimist expects it to change.  The leader adjusts the sails. – John Maxwell.

In February of 2021, The Predictive Index surveyed more than 500 executives from more than 15 different industries. The goal was to understand how companies that practice talent optimization fared in one of the most tumultuous business years on record.  Here is what we found:

 

  • Talent-optimized companies outperform other companies. 93% of talent optimized companies were able to prevent major financial loss (vs. 76% of non-talent-optimized companies).
  • Talent-optimized companies had fewer reductions in force (RIF). Of the RIFs reported, only 22% were from companies practicing talent optimization
  • Talent-optimized companies build dream teams. 98% of talent-optimized companies said their teams continued to work well together (vs. 78% of non-talent-optimized companies).
  • More companies see the importance of talent optimization. With an increase of 11% year-over-year, 23% say they aligned their business and talent strategies.
  • Hiring is coming back. 73% of ALL respondents said they plan to hire more than 100 people this year. 

As you’ll see, talent optimization is a differentiator, even in a difficult year.

 

We found that talent-optimized companies remained on track long-term, largely by focusing on alignment and engagement, and by increasingly using behavioral data to inform their hiring and team building processes.
