Talent Optimization

Invest in people

At JACO, we are not HR professionals or leadership coaches, but we believe in people and that people are the last point of differentiation for most businesses. Building a strong company culture that people are excited to participate in is vital to creating a growing and sustainable business. This approach will allow your organization to attract the best talent and help you retain it.

What is talent optimization?

Talent Optimization is a revolutionary concept transforming the business landscape. It’s a discipline, a process, and a methodology that aligns your business strategy with your people strategy so you can achieve your desired business results.

With Talent Optimization, you can leverage data + analytics + science + results to:

  • Attract and select better candidates
  • Develop leaders and managers
  • Assemble teams that deliver results
  • Build a strong culture that keeps people around for more than just a paycheck

This mutually beneficial partnership between the business and its employees gives companies a competitive advantage when they embrace Talent Optimization as a best practice for developing their people or “talent” strategy.

Unlocking hidden human potential

Successfully implementing a talent optimization strategy can unlock your company’s hidden human potential. Through an iterative process similar to those used for continuous improvement of business systems, companies can effectively monitor their “people data” and make necessary adjustments.

JACO’s talent optimization advisors are skilled – in teaching, coaching, and mentoring employees at every level. We employ the “Leader at Every Level Methodology,” KPI measurement, and “Plan Do Check and Act” (PDCA) cycles to engage employees and motivate them to seek growth opportunities at every turn, both for themselves and the business.

By investing in a strong company culture that fosters trust and engagement, businesses can attract and retain top talent, unlocking their hidden human potential and creating an environment of growth and success.

Phases of talent optimization

Talent Optimization consists of four key phases: designing, hiring, inspiring, and diagnosing.

The Design phase of Talent Optimization is necessary to build high-performing teams aligned with and ready to execute your business strategy. It identifies and fills gaps between a team’s talent and the business’s needs.

JACO helps clients reduce turnover and improve performance by implementing a more disciplined and streamlined hiring process through the Hire phase of Talent Optimization. We ensure the right person is placed in the right role, which can make all the difference when it comes to building teams filled with happy, high achievers.

The Inspire phase of Talent Optimization is vital to building high-performing teams. You can foster a more profitable and productive workplace by actively training and empowering managers to lead effectively.

This Diagnose phase is part four of the Talent Optimization framework. Many businesses rarely measure employee engagement, often basing talent strategy on feelings and intuition rather than data. JACO Advisory Group partners with Predictive Index to leverage its “Diagnose” tool, which measures, analyzes, and acts on employee engagement through data collection and analysis. This phase empowers businesses to measure critical people data, analyze it within the context of their business, and craft specific solutions that get results.

If you want to hire high-performing teams for your business, JACO Advisory Services can help you unlock your organization’s human talent.
