Define Performance & Potential
• High-performers give immediate return on investment, with estimates averaging from more than 50% additional value, to as much as a 100% increase in productivity over average performers.
• High-potentials are typically defined as those demonstrating high-level contributions, organizational values, potential to move up to an identified position within a given timeframe, and potential to assume greater responsibility. – For example, some organizations operationally define high-potential
employees as those who are able to assume greater responsibilities within the next 2 years and who exhibit a history of high-performance and leadership potentials; also may be defined as employees who are able to advance two leadership levels within 4-8 years and who score well on various assessment criteria.
Define Performance & Potential: Talent Matrix
Nine Box Talent Matrix: employee-performance.com
Define Performance & Potential: Surveys & Scores• Performance scores may be easier to collect, gauging potential can be more
difficult. You will need to determine what it important for your organization, team, and projects.
• Build a survey that asks key questions related to an employee’s character, capability, performance and motivation.
• For each set of assessments, assign a scoring system (r.e. yes = 1, no = 0, or a Likert scale of 1 to 5).
• Set thresholds for performance and potential scores to determine where they fall on the matrix.
