Talent Management

CoreAxis' holistic expertise in business and organizational strategy allows us to address the full range of talent management issues you encounter with your employees. We have particular expertise in competency modeling, performance management and succession planning.

Competency Modeling
Understanding of the knowledge, skills and behaviors of individuals who succeed in a given job, role or function is a fundamental building block of an informed talent management program. Our experienced consultants will assist you in:

• Developing a point of view of the specific knowledge, skills and behaviors required in job families or functions in your organization.
• Identifying those characteristics that drive outstanding performance in a job, role or function.
• Creating a competency framework that identifies foundational and leading edge competencies for jobs, roles and functions at different points in a career trajectory
• Linking your competency model to relevant talent management processes, including recruiting and selection, performance management and succession planning.

Performance Management
CoreAxis can assist you to review and enhance your approach to performance management to ensure alignment with your business strategy. Our approach ensures:

• Effective performance planning that links the work of individual employees to the organization's mission and objectives
• Establishment and communication of clear performance expectations to all employees
• A thorough and appropriate performance measurement approach, incorporating measures that give a complete and informative picture of relative performance
• Integration with compensation, benefits, IT and other relevant stakeholders
• An flexible performance feedback process that ensures consistent communication, regular check-in discussions and clear links to follow-on services for employee development, including training and coaching as needed

Succession Planning
In partnership with CoreAxis Talent Services, we can conduct a comprehensive review of your leadership development practices and processes to ensure that your approach truly supports development of the next generation of leadership talent. By creating a succession plan, organizations are better able to maintain internal stability, encourage broad participation in leadership and realize the tangible benefits of the investment in training and development. Our approach to succession planning will ensure:

• An effective process for identifying potential successors (one and two steps removed from current leadership roles), as a "bench" to support existing senior leaders when they depart and
• Ensure identified successors are ready to step into senior roles, by devising training and development programs — including action learning, mentoring, job rotation, high-potential development programs and leadership coaching — that meet their specific needs.

We are based in Boston, Massachusetts and provide consulting services throughout the New England, Northeast, and New York region.
