It’s a way to predict workplace behavior, design high-performing teams, build championship cultures, and manage employees effectively. It’s driven by people data: the collection, analysis, and application of objective data to drive talent and achieve business results. Talent optimization is the invisible thread that binds these ideals together. They value everyone’s perspective and provide equal access to resources and opportunities. They have organizational processes in place to ensure everyone’s treated fairly. Inclusive environments, meanwhile, are workplaces in which people can thrive. It means having an employee base that’s demographically-and behaviorally -rich. Having a diverse workplace means celebrating the differences in others while valuing their experiences and opinions. Given how important people are to the equation, it should come as no surprise that diversity and inclusion play an essential role in optimizing talent. Talent optimization is the discipline of aligning a client’s business strategy with their people strategy to deliver maximum results.
