Using Sonar6

What is Performance Management, what is Talent Management?

There is a lot of confusion around these terms. Generally performance management deals with how organisations drive individual performance, and talent management addresses how an organisation deals with people as a whole. Sonar6 links Performance Management and Talent Management together. Seamlessly.

Online Performance Reviews

Start by reviewing current performance against the goals that have been set.
Gary is a salesperson, so we will review his performance against his sales target. He isn’t meeting his target!

Capabilities, Competencies and Potential

Next use simple questionnaires to understand employee strengths and weaknesses, and how they relate to business results.
Good salespeople are normally good communicators and good listeners, but Gary is not a good listener… maybe that is why he isn’t meeting targets.

Development Plan

The built in intelligence in Sonar6 helps to build a development plan for the employee so that they can build on their strengths and address their weaknesses.
One way to improve Gary’s communication is through coaching, lets agree on a coaching plan with a seasoned member of the sales team.

Helicopter View

The information collected in individual performance reviews is combined to create a talent map of the whole business, so that a business leader can easily:

• Identify key people, key teams and critical roles
• Plan for succession
