Talent management refers to the systematic process of drawing in, nurturing, and retaining skilled individuals who can have a significant effect on an organization’s performance. It involves processes meant to recognize high-potential workers. It aids them in developing their abilities, offers chances for advancement, and secures their continuous involvement with the company. To help firms discover the skills, knowledge, and abilities that workers need to execute their positions successfully, competency assessments play a critical role in talent management.
Competency Assessments
Competency assessments are instruments that evaluate a person’s actions, knowledge, skills, and abilities in relation to established requirements or standards. These tests assist in determining an individual’s level of competence in several areas pertinent to their jobs, duties, or obligations. Competency assessments are often utilized in succession planning, employee performance reviews, training and development initiatives, and recruiting and selection procedures.
Competency Design
Larona uses the Evalex Talent Management System and has at its core one of the most comprehensive competence libraries available in the market. With 23 competency domains, 115 sub-domains, 750 competencies and 6 100 competency facets at your disposal, the task of accurate job profiling just got a whole lot easier.
Assessment Methodology
Types of Assessments
The system we use consists of a series of assessments and experiences that provide knowledge and understanding of talent, leading to a journey of meaningful work and a prosperous career. The system comprises nine instruments, which are used to assess readiness deployment in entry level roles and training response for those who either have not achieved high levels of education or cannot find work through formal employment channels. It has been designed specifically for developing economies where a minimum level of education and literacy is not readily assumed.

• Occupational Personality Profile (OPP)
• Fifteen Factor Questionnaire plus (15FQ+)
• Work Personality Index (WPI)
Cognitive assessments
• Cognitive Process Profile (CPP)
Aptitude assessments
• Critical Reasoning Test Battery 2 (CRTB2)
• General Reasoning Test (GRT2)
Integrity/Values assessments
• Giotto
• Values Orientation (VO)
Emotional intelligence assessments
• Six Seconds Emotional intelligence (SEI)
• EQ-i 2.0 (Emotional Quotient Inventory)
Leadership assessments
• Hogan Lead
• Simulation exercises
Job Profiling
Profiling the position in terms of position level (we have a built-in levels of work “calculator” to achieve this). Profiling the position in terms of the outputs, objectives or goals to be achieved (Evalex has a comprehensive, fully-fledged performance management module to achieve this). Profiling the position in terms of the competencies required to achieve the objectives or purpose of the role.

Leadership Development
The intentional and methodical process of improving the knowledge, skills, and traits necessary to lead successfully within an organization is known as leadership development. It involves identifying people who have the potential to be leaders, giving them specialized experiences and training, and encouraging their personal and professional development to help them become effective leaders. The goal of leadership development is to provide a network of competent leaders who can inspire and motivate their teams as well as propel corporate achievement.
Our leadership training covers topics such as:
• The Essentials of Trust: Trust – or lack of it – is one of the biggest leadership issues. Trust is becoming increasingly complex and yet because of trust, people will take the risk to change, to work together, to dig deeper, and to go further.
• Igniting Motivation: Igniting motivation involves engaging the heart and the mind. To set employeesup to perform optimally, managers need the skills to inspire and engage by providing meaning, freedom to innovate and building trust.
• Navigating Change: The real challenge of change is about moving from fear, frustration and judgment towards courage, curiosity and excitement. This module helps people gain insight into ways they can successfully navigate change by forming new and lasting connections utilizing their Brain Talents.
• Enhancing Teamwork: This module supports performance by helping managers understand the meaning of “team” and the key drivers of team performance. The module examines how individual talents can be strengthened to solidify the team as a whole.
• Accelerating Execution: In this module, leaders learn a framework of the keys to execution and how they can leverage and develop their own capabilities to best support their teams to achieve quality results.
Core Leadership Development Programs
Coaching
Work with Clients to develop, design, and build a customized coaching portfolio of:
• Individual Coaching
• Executive Team Coaching
• Group Coaching
• Performance Coaching
Team Effectiveness
The ability of a team to work together, communicate, and achieve common goals is known as team effectiveness. The well-being of team members must be balanced with performance goals to make an efficient team.
TVS is a validated, statistically reliable research process to identify areas assisting and interfering with team performance. It is based on Six Seconds’ Vital Signs Model. The TVS identifies the areas where the group is a team… and where they are not.
The TVS begins with an executive summary, provides a snapshot of the team’s current engagement scores, and provides an overall climate assessment based on the key drivers of performance and current performance outcomes. Finally, the TVS introduces a process framework for action.
Career Development
Career development refers to the process of self-knowledge, exploration, and decision- making that allows an individual to shape their career.
It is a proactive and lifelong process that includes:
• setting long-term goals
• exploring professional development opportunities
• gaining new work experience.
It is important because it can motivate you to develop goals and enhance your skill set to help you advance in your career, which can benefit you and your employer.
Career development coaching is a one-on-one guidance and advising service that helps professionals reach their career goals and full potential. Career coaches can help with career planning, career changes, career advice, and other career decisions. One of the primary goals of career coaching is to empower professionals by helping them make informed decisions about their trajectory.
