Action Planning
Depending on how the survey results differ in different parts of the organization (locations, levels, businesses and functions), issues will surface that are either unique to a part of the company, or which cross several or all parts of the company. In either case, teams may be established at the local or cross-company level to delve into the issue, problem-solve, develop action plans, and help implement the plans.
TalentMap helps with action planning by working with the executive team in order to prioritize the issues, create solutions based on best practices and, ultimately, develop a consequent action plan.
This includes creating timelines, identify resource gaps and requirements, defining accountability and creating metrics that can be used to measure the success of the plan.
