People Development

If retention of core talent is one of the biggest talent management challenges that an organisation can face, it is interesting that the consistent top reason for leaving is better career development outside of the organisation. If organisations are serious about retaining their core talent, they must demonstrate clear career pathways and be seen to have processes in place to manage employee development.

iTrent's People Development functionality is part of the iTrent talent suite, supporting businesses in the implementation of strategic, end-to-end talent management and allowing organisations to optimise workforce performance through employee engagement, retention and an enhanced skills base.

Development plans within iTrent software are configurable programmes of development activities, such as qualifications, CPD activities, skills, memberships, learning activities and checks, which can be linked to roles or directly to the employee.

Users are able to define expected achievement dates, and because development plans are fully integrated with the rest of the employee profile and learning functionality, the view is automatically updated as achievements are recorded. This provides the user with a simple pictorial indication of the employee’s progress within the plan, and alerts are provided to warn when achievements are not on track.

iTrent's People Development software enables organisations to:

Ensure that their people are fully equipped and engaged to deliver against organisational goals and objectives
Ensure a high performing leadership pipeline
Ensure good bench strength for critical roles within the organisation
Retain core talent
Improve internal mobility to reduce external recruitment costs
Support future business development planning with workforce readiness

iTrent's People Development software features include:

Employee profile - professional attributes such as learning, skills, qualifications, checks, professional memberships, CPD and development plans, are all held against the employee
Organisational profile - the above profile items can also be defined throughout the organisational structure as requirements of the role or business unit
Match and gap - enables role requirements to be matched against employee (or applicants) profile attributes to give graphical analysis of the strength of match
Talent summaries - (or internal CVs) are graphical, printable summaries of the employee profile, including performance ratings, experience and all of the profile attributes. This is a highly popular piece of functionality useful in talent reviews and calibration activities
Personal career plans - allow managers to track and monitor their employees' career aspirations
People Development is available within Self-Service for employees to carry out a skills self assessment and log items such as CPD
