Talent Selection Position Pack

Two packs provided in the Talent Selection solution can be used to make selection decisions, report on selection progress and understand the impact of selection decisions: a Positions Pack and an Employees Pack. Together, these packs allow you to action and visualize selection decisions from both the position perspective and the employee perspective. This article outlines the content of the Positions pack. A separate article provides an overview of the Talent Selection Employee Pack..

Slide 1: Visualize the scope of the talent process

This slide is used to:

• Visualize which positions are in-scope, and out-of-scope for the process
• Understand the number of positions which are in-scope, and out-of-scope by organizational subgroup
• Categorize positions as out-of-scope for the process

Slide 2: Visualize the progress of the talent process

This slide is used to:

• Understand the ‘Most Advanced Stage’ of each position
• Identify which positions have candidates and future position-holders identified
• Understand where risks are faced through positions without identified candidates

Slide 3: Visualize the status of positions by organization sub-group

This slide is used to:

• Understanding the status of positions split by organizational sub-group
• Identifying if there are sub-groups where progress is not being made

Slides 4 and 5: Allocate people to positions

These slides are used to link people (candidates) to positions. This can be done using a tree view of the organization structure (slide 4), or a worksheet view (slide 5). Each option enables you to:

1. Search for candidates in your people dataset
2. Specify employees as position candidates
3. Specify the selection stage linking the employee to a position, the selection rationale and any accompanying comments

Slide 6 and 7: Review and rectify Selection Errors

These slides are used to:

• Identify positions with selection errors (for more information, see Defining your Talent Selection Project
• Understand why a position has been flagged with a selection error
• Resolve selection errors

This can be done with using a tree view of the organization structure (slide 6), or a worksheet view (slide 7).

Slide 8 and 9: Identify where selection decisions have resulted in changes for individual employees

These slides are used to:

• Identify where selection decisions have resulted in changes for employees (comparing the position the employee has been appointed to with their current position)
• Understand what has changed for each employee

Slide 10: Understand the diversity landscape resulting from talent decisions

This slide is used to:

• Understand the number and proportion of female and male employees appointed in each reporting line and team
• Understand the proportion of positions in each manager’s reporting line which have an appointed employee

Slides 11 and 12: Demographics by Function and by Grade

These slides are used to understand the demographic split of appointed employees across organizational subgroups.

Note that the demographic categories and organizational subgroups will be defined at the set-up stage (see Defining your Talent Selection Project)
