It’s fundamental to the principles of Investors in People UK that everyone has talents. Moreover, everyone within an organisation or company has an important role in play in doing this. That’s the reason why Investors in People adds real value to any company and organisation, especially in today’s economic environment.
A recent survey shows that while many Investors in People organisations were committed to developing talent they were concerned about resources required or unsure about where to begin. Here are five great pieces of advice about talent management from Investors in People that we have found useful:
1. Developing talent doesn’t mean that you need to have a formal structured plan.
Encourage people to see possibilities and give them the confidence to try new things and ideas in a safe environment. It should fall naturally and neatly into your organisation’s way of developing your people
2. Managers have a key role to play in encouraging people to develop.
Encourage people to be inquisitive and contribute new ideas at team meetings or ensure that everyone has a personal development plan which is followed through.
3. People can develop their talents in many ways
Learning from and with others should be a big part of developing talent in your organisation.
4. The role of coaching and mentoring can be invaluable.
Those with experience who can offer guidance, feedback and encouragement to a less experienced employee are a really valuable resource.
5. Developing talent is not just for senior people.
Everyone in your company should be encouraged to develop their own talent and ideas. Everyone should aspire to being a role model to those less experienced. Last but not least, ensure that people at every level are motivated and engaged with the organisation and its goals.
