MANAGE COMPETENCIES FOR GROWTH AND SUCCESS TEDS, originator of a fully integrated enterprise-wide talent management solution, has released its latest white paper entitled “Making Sense of Talent Management.” The document outlines TEDS’ strategy of aligning learning and performance as critical tools in the management of organizational talent, skills and behaviors. It states that, “…for talent management to yield results, corporations must integrate learning, performance, recruiting and succession management so that the collective focus of managing competencies can drive all initiatives.” TEDS’ integrated strategy produces measurable ROI on learning and performance with predictable and repeatable results for impacting the organization’s overall health and profitability. This allows corporations to identify the skills and behaviors that currently exist in the workforce so that they can effectively ascertain those skills which need to be replaced.
