Did you know about the Talent Playbook portal?
Talent Playbook is a powerful, preconfigured career coaching application for managers and their employees—and more.
Employees Crave Coaching
In a 2022 survey, 46% of employees reported greater opportunities for advancement and growth as their primary reason for applying for new positions. Thus, employees and candidates rate coaching very highly as a must-have in return for loyalty. Providing it is a win-win for managers and your most motivated team members.
The Coaching Deficit
Many leaders are not trained to be coaches. A Gallup poll rates 82% of managers as ineffective at best. Even the most enthusiastic supervisors are often unprepared and ill-equipped to bring employees' full potential to fruition. So, where should they start? What's the best process? How can they develop each employee individually?
The Talent Playbook Advantage
Talent Playbook helps managers at any experience level to overcome barriers to coaching and empower them in their role as effective mentors.
Instead of the nebulous message, "Just work harder and better opportunities will come to you", Talent Playbook provides the tools for determining individualized professional development steps that managers can define with each employee during one-on-one meetings. Employees learn the most effective strategies that best apply to them for pursuing further opportunities within the organization.
Coaching Content
Talent Playbook’s pre-delivered content defines a clear path for managers to define employees' career journey and ensure they realize their best opportunities within the organization.
For Managers
Practical coaching advice:

For Employees
Improve behavior-based skills:
- Be more assertive

- Think creatively
Behavior-based (soft) skills account for up to 85% of job success, even among highly technical positions.
Talent Assessments
Talent Playbook’s talent assessments foster employee self-awareness by matching their skills, interests, and goals with professional functions. When employees realize how many more doors are open to them, they are inspired and more flexible as per the entire organization's needs and opportunities across the board.
Bonus: Recruiters can use talent assessments to determine which candidates are the best fit for your open positions and company culture.
Improving Engagement
Employees appreciate managers who are as invested in their careers as they are. The supervisor-employee relationship thrives. While management paves the way to a better future, employees' confidence in the organization grows. Engaged employees are the most productive, which is key for profitability.
Financial Kickback
Retention is a top focus for most organizations.
As employee morale improves, retention rates increase. When an employee stays instead of quitting, your company saves 50-75% of the employee's salary in recruiting costs.
